Up to 36 homes at Land North Of Church Road, Aslacton

“The application is to develop this land for 36 dwellings along with the provision of a village green and car park primarily intended for use associated with the school, in line with a proposed allocation in the emerging South Norfolk Village Clusters Housing Allocations Plan. The application is an outline application, with all matters reserved other than access which is proposed from Church Road.”

“The site consists of 3.15 hectares of agricultural land adjacent to the village of Aslacton, with established residential development to the south and west of the site. To the north and east is open countryside. The site is bordered on its southern boundary by Church Road which forms the main road into the village and on its eastern boundary by Muir Lane which is a narrow lane and rural in character.”

In order to overcome this objection a sustainable point of connection will need to be defined that will avoid the constrained network which could cause pollution and flood risk downstream. • The applicant does not state what easements are required for the rising main sewer crossing the site.”

“Conditional support following receipt of amended plans…”

“The proposed site is Grade 3 – good to moderate agricultural land. Losing additional farmland in the area taking into account the current Field BESS, East Pye Solar, Pathfinder Green Energy, Aldeby Solar Park and other schemes is considered detrimental to the overall local and national economy.”

“If there is to be development in Aslacton, then following Aslacton’s growth over many years with ribbon development (no housing estates) the Parish Council can show several infill sites, a brown field site and reduced numbers on the proposed site to meet and/or exceed the proposed quote of new houses whilst keeping within the character of Aslacton Village .”
