Glavenhill are submitting a portion of their wider land
ownership (see Appendix 2) for residential allocation to the current GNLP Regulation 18, Stage C
process and as part of the South Norfolk Village Clusters Housing Site Allocations call for sites
process.
With reference to the updated proposed allocation boundary and illustrative masterplan enclosed at
Appendix 2, the site can through its allocation deliver:
- In the order of 20 residential dwellings together with new and supplemented open spaces
and boundary landscaping to provide a well-designed development and a logical and
defensible limit to the existing settlement.
- 100% bungalows to address locally identified needs for accessible accommodation and a
policy compliant amount of affordable homes to assist in addressing local, rural housing
needs.
- A site of appropriate scale to be attractive to small to medium sized housebuilders who find
it difficult to compete for and deliver larger strategic sites and will provide additional choice
to the local housing market.
Overcoming Concerns on Site Suitability
The allocation of the site for a small scale, 100% bungalow scheme will also overcome officers’
previous concerns over the site’s suitability by:
- Significantly reducing the number of dwellings that would use the proposed access, thus
reducing the number of vehicle movements and concerns over amenity loss from noise and
light shine.
- Delivering a small number of units to deliver a development of appropriate form and scale
for this village location, moving away from the estate style development proposed
previously.
- Limiting dwellings to a single storey will address previous concerns over potential amenity
loss to properties located along the Poringland Road frontage.
- Limiting the level of physical incursion into the countryside beyond the existing settlement
limit by following the line of development established to the west.
- The access point will continue to meet highway design guidelines with sufficient visibility
being achievable in both directions.
The suitability, availability and deliverability of the previously proposed allocation area was
confirmed with reference to the Greater Norwich 2017 HELAA assessment criteria in representations
made to the Regulation 18, Stage A Consultation process and these conclusions remain appropriate
to this smaller site.
