New, Revised and Small Sites

Representation ID: 16872

Received: 01/11/2018

Respondent: Mr Jaime Mallett

Representation Summary:

This same site was considered and rejected as unsuitable before. It remains unsuitable for the same reasons:
1. Loss of greenfield and valuable agricultural land when brownfield sites remain available for exploitation in Reepham.
2. Size of site and development entirely unsuited to a small market village/town settlement. Negative impact on townscape and local natural and built environment.
3. Lack of suitable local infrastructure: poor road access at site and in Reepham itself; sewerage facilities at capacity; schools at capacity.
4. Distance from shops and other services increases likelihood of single-occupancy car use and car dependency amongst families.
