Not recommended for the following reasons:
1. would be a significant encroachment beyond the current village development boundary
2. would have a severely adverse impact on the scale, form and character of the village

The existing South Norfolk Local Plan provides for 20 new dwellings in Brooke in the period to 2026. Planning permissions have already been granted for 30 new dwellings. The Parish Council is dedicated to preserving the unique character and scale of the village, most of which is within the Conservation area, which was first designated in 1975. This has been achieved over the last 43 years by careful and sensitive management of the village, including allowing, where appropriate, complementary new development on a modest scale within a tightly defined development line. The PC strongly believes that this principle is even more important in the future, bearing in mind the pressure nationally for new housing, which we believe must not be allowed to damage the unique qualities of the village. In accordance with this principle the PC believes that the allocations for new development in Brooke in the new Plan period to 2036 should not exceed 10 new dwellings. This would result in a total of 40 new dwellings in the combined periods of the existing and new local Plans, being an increase of 20 from the current Local Plan. The PC feels that any higher allo-cation would be inappropriate for a Conservation village surrounded by open countryside compris-ing ancient woodlands (Brooke Wood and Kirstead Wood) and high quality agricultural land, and unsustainable due to the limited range of services and very limited employment opportunities in the village. The PC's resistance to large-scale expansion of the village is supported by the vast majority of residents, as evidenced by the overwhelming weight of public opinion against the proposed de-velopment of 148 dwellings on land to the east of Norwich Rd.
