Respondent: Starston Parish Council
The PC oppose this proposed development site inline with the strong views expressed at the Neighbourhood Plan consultation event 17/11/18 (nearly 20% residents attended), and in the Parish Plan 2008 (95% resident response rate), that Starston remains separate to Harleston.
Residents don't want Starston to become absorbed into Harleston as a result of large scale housing development between the two currently distinct communities.
At the first GNLP consultation in March 2018, Starston PC requested that the land between Harleston and Starston was identified as a "Strategic Gap", to ensure that Starston didn't become a suburb of Harleston in the future.
