Respondent: Mr Tully Wakeman

Representation Summary:

The proposed development is an incursion into the Tas valley, one of the most beautiful areas on the outskirts of Norwich. Passers-by using the road from either Shotesham or Saxlingham, through Stoke and onwards towards Norwich etc have a lovely view of the river and its valley at this point - there is no such view for some distance to the south because the road is in a cutting, nor to the north where existing housing development screens the valley from the road. Stoke has a tendency to be a ribbon development and this proposal extends that tendency.
