It is suggested that c.0.26ha of the car parking area of this proposal be not accepted for housing , but that it be designated such that purchase of it by the local authority should be considered, preferably by private treaty or if necessary compulsory purchase. Only the footprint of the existing buildings and out to the boundary behind it and to the road in front of it should be included for housing development. This would then be a very acceptable place for new housing as it is in easy walking distance to town for shopping.
(see attachments for further detail)
This is a counter-submission for alternative uses in respect of the following sites at Redenhall and Harleston:
GNLP0209 - Rushall Road - suggested for a hybrid use between small scale privately owned retirement residences or social housing, and
GNLP0263 - Apollo - suggested that housing development should be limited to the footprint of existing buildings and 0.26 ha of the car parking area should be considered for purchase by the local authority to provide additional long stay car parking.
See attached submission letter including further detail and illustrations. Additionally the submission includes the documentation in support of the 2011 proposal for a community environmental area at Rushall Road and the separate accompanying Harleston Community Orchard /Environmnet Area Assessment.
