Respondent: Aslacton Parish Council

Parish Council objects to inclusion of Church Road development site within revised Settlement Limit for the reasons outlined below.

Prematurity - site only has outline permission, site has not commenced and significant matters remain unresolved. Settlement Limits should reflect existing built form.

Uncertainty of delivery - site is still subject to planning conditions and implementation is uncertain.

Infrastructure, Sewerage and drainage concerns - Parish Council previously submitted representations outlining these concerns and these remain unresolved. Anglian Water raised concerns regarding wastewater capacity, local residents raised concerns over sewerage capacity, drainage and flooding issues remain.

Previous Parish Council Representations - Parish Council submitted representations objecting to this site at previous stages of the VCHAP and concerns have not changed.

Risk of Incremental Expansion - concern including this site could create pressure for further expansion beyond traditional form of the village. Settlement Limits should reflect the character and pattern.

Supporting evidence attached to representation, including Anglian Water, Parish Council and resident representations on Outline Planning application.
