Respondent: Mr Duncan Rush

Representation Summary:

I support the view that this site is not suitable for allocation for development due to policy, access, environmental, visual impact and safety issues.

The site currently falls outside Poringland’s Development Boundary as identified in the South Norfolk Local Plan, adopted on 26th October 2015. As such it has not been recognised as an area for residential housing development.
Additionally, I believe enough development in the area has been sanctioned to satisfy the criteria to deliver “smaller sites” within the Norwich Policy Area and as such further development should be viewed as unwarranted.

Any development of this site will not conform with Policy No 32 of the National Planning Policy Framework –March 2012, which clearly states that all developments that generate significant amounts of movement should ensure that “safe and suitable access to the site can be achieved for all people”. I do not believe this requirement will be met due to insufficient site lines for access and incremental traffic impact on local single lane access routes as identified in my original submission opposing this site.

The environmental impact of developing the site will be too great, as will the visual impact on the local area not least from the Bungay Rd looking North.

I firmly support the view that this site is inappropriate for any development
