On behalf of our client, Mrs Jane Jones, we strongly recommend that Land at Hillcrest, Acle should be allocated for residential development, comprising up to 60 dwellings. The site is considered to be entirely deliverable, and capable of making a significant contribution towards satisfying the Councils' housing needs during the period to 2036.

The site is suitable, available, achievable and viable and is therefore deliverable. On this basis the site should be taken forward as an allocation for residential development in the emerging Local Plan, and would represent sustainable development.

It is recognised that Hillcrest is currently not suitable to accommodate further growth. However, the enhancements to Hillcrest/Beighton Road junction that would be required to facilitate the development can be provided as part of any development.

On this basis, the site should be taken forward as an allocation for residential development in the emerging Local Plan and would represent sustainable development.
