Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 21016

Received: 15/03/2020

Respondent: Mr Jacob Ecclestone

Representation Summary:

If it is acceptable to extend the northern boundary of Diss into open countryside by building houses on sites 0250, 0342, 0119 and 0291, why is it “unreasonable” to extend Diss into open countryside on site 0362. Site 0362 would not extend the northern boundary of the town any further than the four approved sites between Heywood Road and Shelfanger Road.

The argument that building houses on site 0362 would have “consequential landscape impacts” (a clumsy euphemism for spoiling the view) applies with equal force to houses built on the fields between Heywood Road and Shelfanger Road.
