Planning committee
Decided by South Norfolk Broadland South Norfolk Development Management (Planning) Committee on 29 Jul 2026.
Refused
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised refusal because the site is poorly connected to services and the adverse impacts outweighed the benefits.
- The parish council and district councillor supported the scheme, while one neighbour objected over amenity and countryside intrusion.
- Members voted 5-4 for refusal, with the Chair using the casting vote, citing the countryside location and unsustainable transport access.
