Respondent: Great and Little Plumstead Parish Council
The Parish Council objects to this site allocation. Great Plumstead has no infrastructure and there is no current plan for one. We object of use of Grade 1/2 agricultural land for development and believe that brownfield land should be used first. The exit and entrance for this site is not a suitable road.
The Parish Council objects to this site as it is contrary to our Service Village designation, which states developments should be up to 20 dwellings.
Developing this land would also be on Grade 1 Agricultural Land, surely brownfield sites should be used first?
Great Plumstead in particular has no infrastructure. There are currently no schools, shops or doctors etc within the Village. The nearest school is located within Little Plumstead which is at capacity, The nearest dentist is Blofield, which is already nearing capacity. There is no shop within the Parish at all, the closest shop is in neighbouring Parishes.
It is presumed that the exit/entrance of this site would be located on Hare Road. This could be dangerous as the road is not very wide and there have already been accidents on this road.
Drainage/soakaways would need to be investigated on this site as Hare Road is known for flooding in various parts.
