Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 20111

Received: 26/02/2020

Respondent: Ms Mary Reed

Representation Summary:

This site is inappropriate as the space for vehicle access is not wide enough and visibility is not safe. Also this large site is not necessary for development as existing (28) and future small development plans will suffice for the needs of the village and growth expectations. This large site along with GNLP1001 and small sites approved puts growth at over 16% in Reedham and the village should not be expected to overdevelop to compensate for other villages. Also the points in the Neighbourhood Plan re dark skies, farming and wildlife will be impacted by this development.

This site is inappropriate as the space for vehicle access is not wide enough and visibility unsafe. This site has been previously denied and nothing has changed. Also most property in Reedham is relatively close to the school so this does not give this location more viability. The property would be better used as playing field for the school as existing is far away and a constraint on school attractiveness to parents. Also this large site is not necessary for development as existing (28) and future small development plans will suffice for the needs of the village and growth expectations. This large site along with GNLP1001 and small sites approved puts growth at over 16% in Reedham and the village should not be expected to overdevelop to compensate for other villages. The GNLP plan suggests the need homes is because the school has capacity but that is not necessarily the case. Also the consideration of the points in the Neighbourhood Plan re dark skies, farming and wildlife will be impacted by this development.
