GNLP0374

In addition to the the issues already identified with the site, it is also worth noting that the site sits in flood zone three (as designated by the Enrironment Agency) which means it has 'a high probability of flooding' For these reasons I believe that development on this land would be irresponsible and therefore object to it.

Another proposed estate development in a village where the existing plan expressly forbids it. Although this land is currently disused industrial land, an estate development will open the gates for any landowner to make money by proposing future estate developments.

An application to develop this site for housing was refused in 2016 due to risks from flooding and potential damage to environmentally sensitive areas close by and these hazards continue to make it unsuitable. In addition infrastructure in and around Surlingham, including road access and sewage disposal, is inadequate. Beerlicks Loke specifically should not be burdened with further vehicle movements which would affect access to existing properties and could also impact on its use by walkers as part of The Wherryman's Way.

It is irresponsible to build on land likely to flood. This is a rural village without infrastructure to support an increased population. Increased traffic and pollution will impact negatively on the nearby nature reserves.

Use, no other details provided. What is this for? This is also partly within the Salhouse
Conservation Area.

Please can you expand on what this means please? Why is this being de-allocated?
GNLP0068 - Residential-led mixed use development for an undetermined number of
dwellings (Despite its small size the site could support a high density development and
is thus considered suitable for the land availability assessment.)

affect the Broads.
There may be access issues if development was agreed at this location. The River
Wensum Strategy has identified this site as a potential continuation "link" of the
Riverside Walk and any development here would need to consider this in their
proposals. Could have significant visual impact. Issues around continued canalisation of
the river.
