Site Proposals document

Representation ID: 15783

Received: 22/03/2018

Respondent: Mr Trevor Lewis

Representation Summary:

I am the District Councillor for what lies in South Norfolk. I retain my scepticism that Deal Ground development can be compatible with flood risks, particularly a combined pluvial/fluvial event, or with the continued essential operation of the aggregate sidings.

The May Gurney / Kier site is acceptable in isolation.

The site proposal now includes the old Waterworks. I believe that this urgently needs action to stop it deteriorating further. It is suitable for sympathetic redevelopment, which needs to be before or together with other development on the site, and not left till last.
