Whilst there are no designated heritage assets within the site boundary, three grade II listed buildings (Old Hall and two barns) lie around the western end of the site. We therefore have concerns about built development on the western end of the site.

We welcome the preparation of the HIA. We welcome paragraph 7.14 of the supporting text and criterion 5 of the policy which seek to respect the setting of the heritage assets through the provision of open space and preservation of long views.

Amend archaeology criterion to read

Norfolk’s Historic Environment Service is to be consulted prior to application to determine the need for any archaeological assessments.

We welcome the preparation of the HIA. The HIA recommends that archaeological investigation should be required prior to development commencing. The recommendations of the HIA in relation to archaeology
should be included in the policy requirements.

The current reference to archaeology at criterion 6 is insufficient. We suggest that the wording is slightly amended to read:

Norfolk’s Historic Environment Service is consulted prior to application to determine the need for any archaeological assessments.
