GNLP2087

A planning application is to shortly be submitted for up to 14 dwellings at the site. The application will be supported by robust evidence to demonstrate the deliverability of GNLP2087


A Transport Assessment has been undertaken and demonstrates that safe access can be achieved. This will address concerns with the narrow access identified in the HELAA scoping assessment. The application will also be supported by specialist reporting to address ecology, site drainage and potential landscape impacts associated with the proposed development.

An outline planning application is to be submitted with all matters reserved except for access. Please find attached an indicative proposed layout that demonstrates safe access and development feasibility.

Bracon Ash and Hethel Parish Council has considered the consultation documentation and has the following comments to make: -
GNLP2109 and GNLP 2097
These 2 sites are for commercial development and it was agreed that would be appropriate for the location. It was considered that the area would benefit from development and was a logical extension and use of the site.
GNLP 2087
This site was discussed earlier in the meeting as the developer had already had plans drawn for it. The scale, plans and design were considered to be good; concerns about specific issues such as drainage would need to be addressed at the planning stage.
The proposed access into Cuckoofield Lane was considered to be a sensible option but serious concerns were raised about pedestrian access to Mulbarton where the local services were such as schools, shops and doctors surgery. The pavement is far too narrow and with family sized homes being built there would be need to be improvements to enable access to Mulbarton without a reliance on cars.
If developed in line with outline proposals, subject to usual planning controls the parish council would have no objections to this being included in the local plan.
