GNLP0511

This plot was originally offered as a site for 18 homes. Scole Parish Council has no objection to that density of development and indeed, SNDC Planning originally felt that was a reasonable density on such a compact plot, where the only access is through the pleasantly designed affordable housing on Norwich Road. The density now proposed is totally unacceptable in a rural environment and the outline plans that we have seen are ludicously unimaginative. Outside of urban areas, where most households have up to 3 vehicles at times, more recognition needs to be given to how pleasant the development is and whether people would want to live there. There is no need for this density considering how close the GNLP is to its housing supply target. Scole Parish Council would have no objections if a) the original recommendation of 18 homes was reinstated and b) this resulted in an imaginative plan.
