New, Revised and Small Sites

Representation ID: 19398

Received: 14/12/2018

Respondent: Mr Thomas Booen

Representation Summary:

The proposed scale proportionally represents a huge increase in the number of dwellings within the village and it is unreasonable to expect such a small village with very limited amenity facilities to absorb this amount of houses. This is in addition to the recently completed houses at the Ridings, on Bunwell Road, and the recently permitted houses in the same field as this application. The nature of dense estate development is totally against the historic growth pattern of the village, which is piecemeal development along street frontages. Top Common is inadequate as an access road as too small.
