Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations
Representation ID: 20862
Received: 13/03/2020
Respondent: Hethersett Parish Council
Given the massive increase in development along the B1172 corridor, any further development linked with the possibility of a new road from Ketteringham over the A11/railway would overload the two Thickthorn roundabouts. The Parish Council opposes any development of this site and agrees with the reasons cited for it being unreasonable.

Respondent: Mrs Nicole Wright
The site is ideally situated at the Thickthorn Junction
Gateway Zone on a Green Infrastructure Corridor and the Cambridge Norwich tech corridor. It is adjacent to the
proposed park and ride extension and the planned
Highways England A47/A11 Thickthorn Junction
improvement works.
This proposed allocation was originally put forward for a
larger scale allocation. This is proposed to be reduced in
scale as per the attached plan.
The Stage 2 HELAA Comparison Table identifies the
following potential issues with the site:
Flood Risk and Heritage
However, a recent feasibility study found that there were no insurmountable constraints to development in relation to the above or the following:
Compatibility with neighbouring issues
Site access and transport
Access to services
Utilities infrastructure
Contamination
Ground stability / contamination
Landscape
Townscape
Biodiversity/ Geodiversity
The trustees of the land commissioned a Strategic Gap
Appraisal to assess whether the recent and planned
interventions in the Strategic Gap in any way undermined its function and purpose and whether as a result, there is a need to modify its boundaries or progress a strategy to mitigate the harm and enhance its function and purpose.
The site is ideally located to mitigate the impact of the
neighbouring strategic growth allocations through provision of additional community infrastructure in providing a small number of accessible homes for older people, new permissive footpaths and cycleways to encourage outdoor recreation, and a community hub.
A copy of the Sustainability Appraisal, Revised Site Plans and Strategic Gap Appraisal are enclosed.
The proposals have been modified to ensure that they do not conflict in any way with proposed allocations at
Colney, Cringleford or Hethersett. They will instead serve to mitigate their impact in providing additional community and social infrastructure to address the additional need generated.
