Respondent: Broads Authority

Site is 200m from Broads area with intervening development at Damgate, including residential and commercial, and no public views into site from Broads. Potential for run off from site would need to be managed, as site drains towards Broads. Potential to improve screening. Site has existing habitat corridors within and on its boundaries. The proximity to designated wildlife sites of international importance results in significant potential for biodiversity use and thus the need for protection and enhancement. Unlikely to impact adversely on Broads in terms of heritage.

No objection subject to satisfactory drainage and run off management and protection of existing and enhancement of habitat corridors to link to the nearby Broads habitats. Additionally consideration needs to be given to the provision of walking and cycling routes for residents to get to Acle and facilities/schools etc. there.
