New, Revised and Small Sites

You have listed this Proposal under Great Moulton and we were therefore not advised of it, I just happened to see Sneath Common in the Eastern Daily Press.
Sneath Common in not a village it is a few fields that were previously part of Tibenham Aerodrome during the war and it is sometimes referred to as Sneath Common when South Norfolk District Council consider planning applications. In 1982 the Parish decided that development should take place organically spreading out from the church and the school; this has been upheld in all later Local Plan Consultations and, in the past, South Norfolk Planning Department has specifically excluded the area of Sneath Common from future development as they regard it as an aberration by the old Depwade RDC being spread between Aslacton, Great Moulton and Tivetshall with no apparent connection to any of them. This application is outside the parish boundaries and does not conform to the expressed wishes of the Parish Council, which SNDC have accepted, for development in the heart of the Parish. In Church Road we have 15 houses with planning permission and an identified site for up to 40 more when the 15 have been built. In the last Census we had 193 dwellings; the planning permission for 15 houses and potentially 40 more bring the total of possible new dwellings to 55. Local Plans state that all development should be proportionate and adding more at this time would certainly not meet that test. In addition our sewerage system is overloaded with sewage coming up through a manhole in The Street, in the bathroom of a neighbouring property and in the gardens of several residents.

Outside Parish Development Boundary
Fails to conform with agreed Parish Development plans for all housing to grow organically from the church and the school.
Adequate provision for additional housing already identified in Church Road with 15 houses given planning permission and a site identified for up to 40 more.
8-10 houses would probably round the corner into Plantation Road and give rise to new proposals.
Sewage system already overflowing in the Street, in the bathroom of a nearby house and in gardens as far down as Halfway Farm.
