Planning Appeal - Land South of School Lane
Developers have lodged an appeal against the decision to refuse permision to build about 30 houses on the land south of School Lane, near the crossroads. The full documents can be seen at https://info.south-norfolk.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=P0YF0HOQI8I00
The main points are in https://info.south-norfolk.gov.uk/online-applications/files/E7D3ABD3D266E2A84C4644E9B2A9FA8D/pdf/2017_2843-APPELLANTS_STATEMENT_OF_CASE-6210496.pdf and are mainly based on technical arguments about whether there is a five year housing supply or not. If the area is deemed to be without a five year housing supply then the development boundary is set asside and there are few grounds on which development can be refused. This was the the situation with the three existing developments.
The developer plays down any concerns about the reduced undeveloped gap between LM and Hethersett and makes no mention of the massive developments already under way at Hethersett.
The Parish Council's original objection can be seen at https://info.south-norfolk.gov.uk/online-applications/files/A99FBF38CB99708DF2701B310DF76571/pdf/2017_2843-PARISH_TOWN_COUNCIL-5993262.pdf. It is beleived that the developer has since tested that drainage by infiltration is possible.
