Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 20369

Received: 05/03/2020

Respondent: Mr John Shirley

Representation Summary:

This site was originally proposed in the BDC 2011 consultation. It was later considered less suitable than COL1. Site COL1 at that time' we were told, was outside the village development limit and had Highways issues on Rectory Road.
Overall I do not feel that any development on this side of the River Bure is appropriate, but if there has to be any, a carefully designed scheme on this site is preferable to desecrating greenfield sites and leaving an ex-scrapyard in the centre of a lovely but increasingly traffic bruised village.
