New, Revised and Small Sites

Representation ID: 19266

Received: 14/12/2018

Respondent: Danielle Kingsbury

Representation Summary:

The parish boundary of Needham runs behind The Common. Any development on the site would join up the settlement of Needham and Harleston and erodes the distinction between the two. Additionally, we believe the Harleston settlement boundary runs along the rear of The Common.

A large development would impact the approach to Harleston and potentially damage tourist impression of a small historic town thereby lessening the importance of Harleston and damaging the economical benefits resulting from tourism.

The proposed location is grade 2 agricultural land used for more than a single crop each year.

Thank you
