ACCESS
The proposed site can be served by a Minor Access Way (Rural) considered by Norfolk County Council highways to be acceptable for access for up to 25 dwellings. A stretch of Twyford Lane will require upgrading, but can accommodate the minimum recommended width within highway land, or within our client's site. At the western end of this upgraded section a type 2 turning head will be provided to allow access to the footpath and fields beyond. A similar type 2 turning head will terminate the minor access road within the site. Development of this site is within the capacity of this type of highway. A higher standard highway may be possible depending on negotiation with affected properties on Twyford Lane.

ACCESSIBLITY TO SERVICES
Foulsham is considered a service village in the Broadland Site Allocation DPD 2016, with a primary school, post office, store, village hall, public house, and church in the village, with medical services available in Reepham. The proposal site has a similar relationship to the centre of Foulsham to site FOU1 in the Broadland Site Allocation SPD adopted 2016 which is immediately to the south of the proposal site. This was granted approval 20130929 and has since been developed. Both of these sites are closer to the centre of the village than much of the historical development on the periphery. There are adequate local facilities to serve small scale development.

UTILITIES CAPACITY
Foulsham has access to the foul sewage network, and this would be the preferred solution for the proposal site. However, if there are capacity issues, an alternative approach would be the installation on site of a small scale package plant.
A small area in the extreme south-west corner of the site is at low risk of fluvial and surface water flooding. We propose sustainable storm water management to provide a swale or pond near this point which will also benefit the local ecology and will have no negative impact on areas beyond the site.
All other utilities are available locally with capacity.

BIODIVERSITY & GEODIVERSITY
Appropriate specialist assessments will be included in any forthcoming application with mitigation measures put into effect. The provision of significant landscaping and ponds will benefit local ecology.

We have issued a sketch site plan as an informative by separate email.
