Representation Summary:

Comments on the assessment with particular reference to access, accessibility to services and utilities capacity.

ACCESS
The proposed site will be served by an extension of the Feeder Road (type 1 highway) currently serving the west of Willow Park and the Sports Club, with a secondary access served by an extension of the Link Road (type 2 highway) which serves the Willow Park development directly from the roundabout on Cawston Road. Norfolk County Council highways accept that a type 1 highway is appropriate to link residential neighbourhoods, and a type 2 highway has a maximum capacity of 700 units. Development of the proposed site is well within this capacity, and the link road can serve possible future developments on fields to the north of Green Lane. Our client has legal agreements in place to allow this infrastructure development.

ACCESSIBLITY TO SERVICES
Access to services was considered acceptable for development of the adjacent site (Willow Park AYL1 Allocation), with sustainable links for pedestrians, cycles and public transport to the town centre along Marriotts Way. The situation of the site is very similar to that of Willow Park, with the additional advantage of being closer to medical facilities.

UTILITIES CAPACITY
Anglian Water have recently upgraded the local foul system serving the region and there is capacity to allow for this development. Storm water will be managed with sustainable design in a similar manner to Willow Park. All other utilities are available locally with capacity. Our client has legal agreements in place to allow for extension of utilities to the proposed site.
