Ignores impact on the wider Badersfield village in North Norfolk
New community would use services existing community funds, damaging relations
Increases local use of the Norfolk Broads, damaging access
Site is adjacent to a Conservation Area Designation that would conflict aesthetics
Unsustainable for a community with inadequate local services to serve needs.
The suitability is focused on the adjacent village of Buxton and Lamas. The impact should be assessed on the North Norfolk village of Badersfield. A further 720 homes to an existing community of 500 does not represent sustainable growth and has not been properly assessed. The North Norfolk HELAA study does not identify the village as a growth site.
Every homeowner funds and pays a service charge for amenities, landscaping, utilities and common ground. A new housing settlement outside of this structure would cause a huge social divide and integration issues.
Badersfield is nearby to the river Bure, part of the Norfolk Broads, the nearby river walks/access are already in great demand and unlikely to be sustained without damage if the adjacent village grows to this size.
Badersfield is a historic community listed under the RAF Coltishall Conservation Area Designation, this development could violate the principles and aesthetics of this designation among other issues.
