When Eel Catcher Close was being considered, under a special local housing need exception to planning rules, Norfolk County Council Highways had concerns with siting distances to the bend at the intersection of New Inn Hill and the Street from the access road. My recollection is they were reluctant to approve and only did so on the understanding that the access road to Eel catcher close would not be used for any further development. Any further access on this stretch of road would be dangerous and a further erosion of siting distances to access / egress routes for new developments. A representative of South Norfolk Council came to a public planning meeting and gave categorical assurances that granting planning permission for Eel Catcher Close would not lead to the proposed land being built on at a later date. Wildlife has been attracted to the land at the rear by that land owners environmental schemes and any further development would have a detrimental effect on ecology and the rich Broads wildlife that occupies the wider area
