Representation ID: 21810

Received: 13/03/2020

Respondent: Mrs Amber Slater

Representation Summary:

Comment objects to site being an alternative and wants it to be preferred.
We object to the preferred site and do not agree this is the best option to deliver this amount of housing. The site at Buckenham Road offers a good opportunity with minimal constraints/ impact on the character of the village.
The site at Buckenham Road would provide informal public open space in the form of walks through from Buckenham Lane and Buckenham Road in the form of a linear park which would provide a more informal area of public open space in this part of the village rather than focusing all open space to the north of the village.
It is also at a lower risk of surface water flooding.

Whilst we agree with the overall strategy for the village clusters contained in Policy 7.4, we object to the preferred site and do not agree this is the best option to deliver this amount of housing. The site at Buckenham Road offers a good opportunity with minimal constraints/ impact on the character of the village.
