The Equality Impact Assessment
, Policy Assessment Table (page 15) returned a Not Applicable result in the site-specific policies GNLP0520 and GNLP0503, in relation
to the impact on the protected group including those with disabilities.
The allocation of GNLP0520 is unsound it does not provide safe access to shops and services and is therefore contrary to NPPF 8. Promoting healthy and safe
communities, para 91c

for detailed representations and evidence
GNLP SHOULD NOT BE ADOPTED
Proper regard should be given to the representations made in opposition to GNLP0520 being allocated for development, especially with regard to flooding issues,
potential impact on historical heritage, the protection of valued landscape, the adequacy of footway links and proximity to ALL of the towns facilities.
GNLP0520 should be removed from the plan. Regard should be given to the submissions of residents of The Hops (Survey Appendix B) who are currently affected by
the poor footway links to the Towns shops and facilities.
Reconsider the housing numbers allocated for Hingham/Reconsult to allow for alternative sites to come forward and for representations to be made
Consideration MUST be given to if a site would provide a benefit alongside the proposed housing development, and if it would enable opportunity to achieve the
aspirations of the community/town council for “future proofing” Hingham to be able to provide facilities to a growing community.
Allocations of any sites should be based on firm evidence that proposals made in order to mitigate, are actually feasible and achievable.
