Representation Summary:

support for use of this site as a low impact eco development of combined small scale housing and working space which respects the natural surroundings and brings a limited number of new residents and visitors to support the local community/businesses whilst limiting the amount of additional traffic and burden on existing public services.

I own nearby woodland to this site and believe it would be an ideal site on which to allow small scale combined eco-housing/workplaces. The site is nestled in a largely wooded area containing a county wildlife site and serviced by a relatively small highway.
i think it would be very appropriate and beneficial to the local villages to see some form of rural development with linked housing such as a small/medium camping site with owners accommodation, or a small number of very low impact housing and work spaces which would bring a limited amount of traffic but also some much needed small rural enterprise, and the residents and workers with it who can support the already established local businesses in the surrounding area.
i think this would be an excellent site to create an exemplar eco project to showcase combined rural working and housing, close to existing services which can readily support such a small development, and in-keeping with the sensitive natural surroundings.
There aren't enough camping sites near Norwich and the local area has some great small businesses which struggle to stay afloat.
