Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 21032

Received: 15/03/2020

Respondent: Mr RIchard Stilgoe

Representation Summary:

Current government policy is to build on brownfield sites first. Planning was rejected recently for brownfield site in Claypit Lane, Foulsham so to approve planning would go against policy.
Also Stringers lane/Aubery Rix is single lane, causing extra traffic, especially during any building. Stringers Lane junction with Foundry Close already ignored as a junction and has become dangerous.
Field is a wildlife haven, with barn owls and other raptors using it to hunt, Also bats are regularly observed from spring onwards. Also concerns for trees/hedgerows being torn out as seen on other building sites, as this is a conservation area.
