Respondent: Salhouse Parish Council
No details of the proposed development are given, other than "Tourism Use". This offer refers to
land which is already in use as a seasonal campsite. The initial 3 year consent is currently being
reviewed. There have been numerous complaints so far in relation to vehicular access and parking.
The landowner has indicated to the Parish Council that he would like to develop the site more
permanently, with camping chalets, yurts, etc. The site is in a highly valued, environmentally
sensitive and historic landscape and a prime tourist amenity, within the Salhouse Concservation Area
and partly within the Broads Authority area.
We would have no objections to continued tourism use, provided (1) the proposed use covered no
greater an area and was designed to attract no more users than currently; (2) the density and visual
impact should be no greater than at present; (3) the use is seasonal as at present; (4) car parking and
access issues can be resolved without adversely affecting the landscape or environment and (5) in
the longer term, the development is only temporary, ie. it can ultimately be removed with no lasting
impact on the landscape.ONFI
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.

We would object to this on the grounds that: (1) the development would be too far from the village
to be considered part of the Salhouse community; (2) there would be an adverse impact on the
setting of Hagg Wood, an area of designated Ancient Woodland; (3) there would be an adverse
visual impact on the setting of the Salhouse Conservation Area around the Church (in contravention
of Conservation Area policies); (4) the site would occupy an area of high landscape value.

We would object to this on the grounds that: (1) there would be an adverse visual impact on the
setting of the Salhouse Conservation Area which surrounds the site on three sides (in contravention
of Conservation Area policies); (2) only available access would be onto Bell Lane, which is already
over capacity and would create a hazardous junction; (3) there would be an adverse impact on the
historic setting of Salhouse Hall, a Grade II listed building, and Hall Wood, an area of designated
Ancient Woodland; (4) the site is a WW2 war grave and unexplored archaeological site; (5) the site
would occupy an area of high landscape value.

We would object to this on the grounds that: (1) there would be an adverse visual impact on the

Conservation Area policies); (2) there would be an adverse impact on the historic setting of Salhouse

Some small scale development along Norwich Road might be acceptable, although this might be
considered 'ribbon development'. The lack of any detail of the scale or type of development make it
impossible to comment further.

We would object to the development of this whole site as shown, on the grounds that: (1) there
would be an adverse visual impact on the setting of the Salhouse Conservation Area which adjoins
the site (in contravention of Conservation Area policies); (2) the site as proposed is too large in
relation to the scale of the adjacent village setting; (3) the site would occupy an area of high
landscape value and would irrevocably damage this aspect of the approach to the village; (4)the
amenity of properties immediately adjacent on Lower street would be adversely affected; (5) an exit
onto Bell Lane would be too hazardous.

We would cautiously support development of a small part of the site; namely, the area most
recently used as an equestrian centre, behind the Jubilee Hall, as a community of sheltered
bungalows for older people or alternatively light industrial/commercial development for start-up
businesses to replace what was lost when the garage site was developed for housing. This would
comply with Policies H3 and EMP2 of Salhouse Neighbourhood Plan

This site has been offered before and was rejected by the Parish Council. Access to and from this
site would require residents to cross the very busy Norwich Road; objections were made previously
by residents of the bungalows opposite, whose light and view would be lost especially if the
development were of two storey houses. A development of bungalows might be considered.>

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.

In relation to Salhouse, this site is very remote indeed; most people would even be unaware that it is
part of the parish of Salhouse. Development of 1,000 houses on this site would put extreme traffic
pressure on the A1151 road and would have an environmental impact on the area around Dobbs
Beck.

This site has been the subject of a more detailed outline plan for the development of 86 dwellings
which was presented to the Parish Council in December 2016. The following comments are
therefore more detailed than for other sites and are based on the outline plan as presented:
Comments on Proposals for Offered Site Ref. GNLP0487
* A previous proposal for 20 dwellings on part of the same site was put forward in 2014. SPC
declined to support it after objections by parish residents. A crucial part of that proposal
was for a footway along the Norwich Road from the Station Road bus stop. This was
rejected by Highways on the grounds that the width of available Highways land on that side
was too narrow in places to support a path.
* This new proposal also includes a footway along the same section of road. Mr. Phil Atkinson
of Lanpro stated at the presentation that this had already been approved in advance by
Highways. It seems unlikely that Highways would unequivocally support this in advance of a
formal PA and in the light of the previous refusal.
* Previous policy by the District Council has been that infilling the green space that exists
between the two villages of Salhouse and Rackheath should not be permitted and a green
space between them should be retained. It is noted that that on the current plan virtually all
the houses are out of sight of the main road. This is a benefit in relation to maintaining the
'green space' between settlements, but probably the developer has no choice in this matter
because the high pressure gas main from Bacton crosses the site, and a no-build exclusion
zone applies.
* As a result of the need for a no-build zone, the developer is proposing a park to be included
in the development. We should be extremely vigilant that this green space is not eroded as
the plans develop, as we have seen on other sites.
* The park proposal is all well and good, but access to the park by other residents of the
village, apart from those living on site, will be of necessity by car only with access from
Norwich Road. Pedestrian access is required.
* Pedestrian access to the estate could easily be achieved from Wood Green. Pedestrian
access by this route would allow access to Salhouse railway station and to the main part of
the village on foot via footpaths without having to venture onto the main road. This should
be incorporated into the plans.
* Road access to the estate is by a single T-junction onto the Norwich Road. Given the number
of homes proposed, this would be hazardous and a cause of delay and frustration for drivers
at busy times. A second road access should be considered via Wood Green. However, this
would adversely affect the residents there.
The site also includes a wetland pond. This is surprising, given that the site is at one of the
highest points in the locality (approx. 30m OD) and there is no history of drainage issues.
* The affordable houses are very densely packed and very close to the rear boundaries of
properties on Norwich Road, most are bungalows and will be overlooked by the affordable
houses.
* Does not comply with policy H1 of Salhouse Neighbourhood Plan

Development of this site as shown would be 'ribbon development'. It involves the infilling of the
green space that exists between the two villages of Salhouse and Rackheath, contrary to previous
policy that has stated that this should be retained. The high pressure gas main crosses this site,
rendering a large part of it undevelopable.
