Whilst there are no designated heritage assets within the site, the site lies immediately to the north east of the grade II listed property, The Orchards. Therefore, any development of this site has the potential to impact upon the significance of this heritage asset. We appreciate that the property is well screened by existing landscaping.

We welcome the preparation of the HIA. We welcome paragraph 8.9 and the second bullet point of the policy in relation to strengthening boundary vegetation.

We suggest a slight amendment to the wording to read ‘…wider landscape and to protect the significance of the setting of The Orchards to the south of the site’ because it’s the significance of the asset, not its setting.

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.
