On behalf of Mr Graham Payne and family, we strongly support the preferred allocation of GNLP2143, land south of Le Neve Road, Marsham. The site is entirely deliverable, and capable of making a valuable contribution towards satisfying the Councils’ housing needs during the period to 2038.
GNLP2143 has been identified as a preferred allocation for 25-35 dwellings, of which 33% will be affordable. It is recognised in the draft policy that more homes may be accommodated on the site, subject to an acceptable design and layout, as well as infrastructure constraints. The preferred allocation recognises that development is expected to provide access (vehicular and pedestrian) from Le Neve Road, an extension (0.27ha) to the existing cemetery, a design and layout which minimises adverse effects on nearby heritage assets, namely the church to the east, and to safeguard the existing Public Right of Way (PRoW) to the south-east boundary.
In accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework’s (NPPF) definition of ‘deliverable’, the site represents a suitable location for development now, is available immediately, is achievable with a realistic prospect of housing being delivered on the site, and is viable. This is considered in further detail below.
On behalf of Graham, Rosemary and Trevor Payne, please find attached a formal consultation response in respect of the proposed allocation Policy GNLP2143 (Land south of Le Neve Road, Marsham).
I attach a written response supporting the preferred allocation, together with a completed ‘GNLP Preferred Sites for Site Allocation – Owners Information and Confirmation of Viability and Expected Delivery form, and Access Appraisal prepared by Orari Development Transport Planning.
