This site is outside of the settlement limit and does not relate well to the village. It is unsympathetic with form and character of the village and is remote from all services with no footway link and would rely on private forms of transport and is therefore unstainable. It is also in the critical drainage area as identified in the Norwich Urban Surface Water Management Plan. Drayton Parish Council and its residents engaged fully with NCC on traffic flow measures as part of the NDR link feeder roads. The traffic modelling was critical and challenging and the Parish Council made representations to the Planning Inspectorate. Measures were approved to meet requirement 28 for the approval of the Development Consent Order for the scheme. These were based on the known sites in the site allocation DPD 2016. These were known as DRA1 and DRA2. If this site was to come forward Drayton Parish Council will at the highest level challenge the validity of the approved scheme.
