Site Proposals document

Representation ID: 15757

Received: 22/03/2018

Respondent: Harleston Town Council

Representation Summary:

A large part of this site is a car park. Harleston has an acute limit on car parking capacity. South Norfolk Council's policy on strategic approach to car parking envisages longer stay: further out of town. It is our view that only the footprint of existing buildings and land between them and the adjacent Mendham Lane should be included for housing. The existing car parking space should be designated as such and purchased either by private treaty or compulsorily if necessary.
We would be interested in this land if ever it became available to use as a community facility.
