New, Revised and Small Sites

Representation ID: 18953

Received: 13/12/2018

Respondent: Mrs Sara Hurn

Representation Summary:

This site is not allocated for housing and there are sufficient allocated sites within the current GNLP to meet targets for about 20 years given current completion rates, so there is no need to grant more permissions on unallocated sites. Truly affordable housing should be concentrated nearer Norwich where the infrastructure and services can cope, and any development should utilise brownfield sites first not greenfield with the further loss of agricultural land required for food production. The B1332 can scarcely cope with the traffic levels now. Poor drainage of the land is already a problem suffered by nearby residents.
