Representation Summary:

Together with GNLP0324/0055/0174 and the 24 houses already under construction at the BARN1 site, the rural nature of this Yare Valley Village would be destroyed. It would more than double in size and become a small townscape instead of the historical rural setting it is now. It would be better to allow an infill of smaller houses for young people and seniors wanting to downsize but stay in the village. These could be built along Norwich Road linearey on the verge between the newish four low cost houses and the barn conversions. This would also serve to join up the two "halves" of the village thus creating more cohesion. This site in particular is inappropriate for the area as it encroaches on the river Yare valley itself and almost touches listed farm and mill buildings
