Hingham Town Council object to sites GNLP 0501 and GNLP0502 being deemed as unsuitable. Highways have commented that there is not an achievable highway access point, however the Town Council believe that this would be achievable, using land currently owned by the Town Council to create an access point onto Springfield Way.
A development in this location would give better pedestrian access (than GNLP0520) to the town’s sports facilities, village hall, library and small businesses in the Fairland and Market Place.
