Representation Summary:

Strongly object to possibility of this area being developed. Vehicular access to this site is restricted and would be hazardous on to Manor Road/Newton Street.Suggest it would be more appropriate for the land to be used for cattle/horses. St Faiths is surrounded by areas which are being heavily developed eg Horsford, Spixworth, Old Catton, Aylsham, Hellesdon and I really don't see the need to destroy the character of this village and increase noise/air/light pollution to the detriment of residents. Any large developments would also but increased pressure on the school and surgery.

I don't believe this area should be considered for housing development. I understand it was sold in 2017 as Amenity Land and I feel it would be appropriate to use this for allotments/cattle/horses. It has poor access onto Manor Road, which is near the very busy junction on to the A140. Newton Street also sees a lot of traffic, ranging from tractors,HGVs, buses etc.Newton Street is usually single lane as many vehicles park on the Street (as several properties do not have driveways).
Newton St Faith does not have any of its own amenities (eg shop, post office, doctors) - it shares with Horsham.
This area should be protected as it supports a lot of wildlife (eg bats) and bird life (including birds of prey). If this land was developed it would increase the amount of night light pollution, noise & air pollution (all detrimental to the residents and wildlife). I firmly believe any major development in this area is inappropriate and unnecessary.

Representation Summary:

Would prejudice a 'no development' policy near the NDR. A key objective of the NDR is to free traffic from the radial roads to and from the City and allow the sustainable transport measures in the NDR DCO.

Respondent: Lanpro Services Ltd

Representation Summary:

Lanpro considers that the individual merits of this housing site has been wrongly assessed in the published HELAA scoring. We suggest the alternative scoring [as submitted - see full text and attached submission documentation] as it better reflect the sites close proximity to the new NNDR, the fact that no listed buildings or historic landscapes are located in close proximity to the site and that the access design although safe has not yet been approved by the Highway Authority.

As advised previously there are no obvious constraints to development that would prevent the delivery of circa. 70 new dwelling units within the emerging Plan period.
The scheme is financially viable and as such affordable housing and some self-build plots can be delivered as part of the scheme to meet a known demand locally.
The opportunity also exists to share access, drainage and servicing costs with the developers of the allocated NHF1 site to the south. This would also ensure that allocated site NHF1 is able to come forward without further delay.
The opportunity also exists to retain and develop existing lines of mature tree and hedgerow planting within the site as part of the final scheme design. As such the scheme will also deliver net environmental gains for nature and improve existing and future residents' quality of life.

The HELAA capacity assessment December 2017 has assessed the suitability and availability of sites for residential development in broad terms by means of a desk top assessment and advice from a range of technical consultees. It identifies potential constraints to development and/or impacts of developing a site which may need further investigation and additional measures to facilitate development e.g. additional infrastructure or mitigation.
We have commissioned more detailed technical assessments on a range of issues from specialist consultants which have been summarised in Section 4 above. These have enabled us to draw more detailed conclusions on the suitability of this site as set out below:
[HELAA constraints and impacts analysis reviewed - Historic Environment and Transport and Roads impact assessed by the representor as Green rather than the Amber scores given in the GNLP assessment - see attached submission document for tabulation]
