Received: 13/12/2018

Respondent: Hopkins Homes

Representation Summary:

SUBMITTED DURING STAGE B OF CONSULTATION:

please now find attached further information to support the Proposed Allocation of Site GNLP0312 - Land East of Beccles Road, Loddon.

Since the previous Local Plan Consultation, Hopkins Homes have acquired a formal legal Option to promote the site for residential development, and hence have now produced the attached Indicative Layout Masterplan to show how the site could be attractively developed to deliver approximately 180 new dwellings upon the available site area, together with approaching 0.8Ha of new public open space. The existing boundary landscaping is proposed to be retained and enhanced, in order to ensure that the overall impact upon the wider surrounding rural landscape beyond is adequately considered and addressed.

The site lies in a wholly sustainable location, adjacent to the main employment area of Loddon, whilst benefits from an existing frontage footway to Beccles Road, which enables direct pedestrian linkages into the centre of Loddon. Public transport also passes directly along the site frontage, enabling connections to Norwich, Beccles and other larger centres beyond.

In view of the above sustainability credentials, Hopkins Homes considers that this site should be Allocated for residential development within the forthcoming Draft Local Plan.
