New, Revised and Small Sites

Representation ID: 17728

Received: 30/11/2018

Respondent: Mr Peter Jeffery

Representation Summary:

The consultation notice states 'Far more land has been submitted for consideration than will be needed. An application to develop the site was rejected by Carleton Rode Parish Council, South Norfolk and at appeal, by a Planning Inspector four years ago on grounds which remain valid today. Inclusion now would overturn that appeal decision so making a mockery of planning system.

Site GNLP 0438 and 0439 meet the land supply needs having been doubled to 21 dwellings under the consultation earlier this year. There has been significant recent new build in the parish at Cooks Corner [Five dwellings] and more are in the pipeline. The site is outside the existing development boundary.

The consultation notice document states 'Far more land has been submitted for consideration than will be needed in the GNLP' making this submission surplus to requirement and appear to be a tactic to bypass the Planning Inspector's dismissal of the 2012 applications.

Proposed development of the site has been rejected by South Norfolk Council and the Planning Inspectorate on a number of grounds which, in our view, are as valid today as they were four years ago. Development of the site was also opposed by NCC Highways Department, English Heritage, CPRE, and many local residents. Approval of the sites for development would overturn the result of local, district and inspectorate level opposition and so make a mockery of the planning system and bypass the previous refusal.
