Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 20783

Received: 12/03/2020

Respondent: Dr G M Courtier

Representation Summary:

(Changed from object to support as respondent is actually supporting the categorisation of the site as unreasonable in the GNLP)

This wedge of agricultural land is bounded by two single track lanes and Diss football club. Access from either lanes is suitable only for agricultural traffic, although an extra access gateway was recently added.
The site was owned for many years by a Quaker Trust and provides a strategic buffer of green space between Diss town and Roydon village. Any housing here would be priced well above the 'affordable' category. Its presence, and regular access, would completely destroy a unique rural area, sited near agricultural fields and a wildlife site.
