A decision on this site is considered premature and prejudicial to the Diss & District Neighbourhood Plan (in which Scole Parish is included), which will seek to allocate sites across the Plan Area according to local need as well as viability and connectivity to transport links and services. Any comments on a site are made without prejudice to the above and are to formally note any planning or other reasons that should be taken into future consideration. In addition to this, Scole Parish Council also feels that:
1) The proposed housing density is not commensurate with a village environment, especially considering how close to the required land supply the region is.
2) Access to the site is abysmal, being on a blind corner on the exceedingly busy Bungay Road, a well used rat-run to avoid the A140/A143 roundabout.
3) Our opinion is that this site sits outside the settlement Boundary.
