Salhouse is a 'conservation' village which has an accepted Local plan that stipulates not more than 5 dwellings per annum on average should be allowed. We do not have a post office only a craft shop and further large scale development would overload the existing infrastructure, especially drainage.

We would strongly object to any development of this site on the grounds that: (1) this site is entirely
within the Salhouse Conservation Area; (2) views into, out of, and across the Conservation Area
would be damaged (destroyed, in fact) and this would be in contravention of policies on the
Conservation Area; (3) the site is at the centre of an area of high landscape value, essential to the
rural character of the village, and affecting the aspect of the landscape leading down to Salhouse
Broad.
Does not comply with policy H1 of Salhouse Neighbourhood Plan
Salhouse PC previously submitted comments on the sites put forward in the 2016 'Call for Sites' consultation. These comments submitted in January 2017 still stand and are attached for reference.
Two changes have occurred since early 2017. First, our previous comments included references to the Draft Salhouse Neighbourhood Plan, which was subsequently adopted in July 2017. Second, since March 2018, the land supply in Broadland District has been calculated at more than 5 years.
Salhouse PC believes that the 'Call for Sites' process is fundamentally flawed, in that it encourages opportunistic offers of sites instead of being plan-led. A further local concern is that the services infrastructure (particularly mains water and electricity and sewerage) in Salhouse is in a very poor state. No additional housing development should be considered without these services being completely upgraded to meet the extra demand.
Although there are no new sites listed for the Parish of Salhouse in the latest 2018 submissions, there are sites in adjacent parishes which approach very closely to Salhouse's boundaries, raising the prospect of continuous housing from Norwich to Salhouse is all the options were taken up.
See attachment for full details of submission.
