Policy GNLP0293: Land east of Gayford Road, Cawston

6.22 This site, east of Gayford Road is allocated for residential use as it is adjacent to the existing settlement limit, close to Cawston Primary School with minimal other constraints. The site should be masterplanned with the adjacent CAW2 allocation to bring forward a cohesive development.

Policy GNLP0293

Land east of Gayford Road, Cawston (approx. 1.91 ha, excluding existing CAW2 allocation) is allocated for residential development. The site is likely to accommodate approximately 40 homes

More homes may be accommodated, subject to acceptable design and layout as well as infrastructure constraints.

The development will be expected to address the following specific matters:

  1. 1. Site should be masterplanned with existing CAW2 allocation to bring forward a cohesive development
  2. 2. Access (vehicular and pedestrian) will be from Aylsham Road.
  3. 3. Carriageway improvements to the vehicular access on Aylsham Road and a new 2 metre footway connection along the site frontage that connects to the existing footpath will be needed.
  4. 4. A pedestrian crossing facility on Aylsham Road to the primary school.
  5. 5. Adequate landscaping and green infrastructure to protect the rural setting of the village, especially to the eastern and northern boundaries.
  6. 6. Norfolk Minerals and Waste Core Strategy Policy CS16 applies, as this site is underlain by safeguarded minerals resources. The benefits of extracting the minerals, if feasible, will be taken into consideration.

Reasons

Combine sites into a single allocation to ensure plan is effective and justified.

POLICY CAW2: Land east of Gayford Road, Cawston

6.24 This site to the east of Gayford Road was allocated in the 2016 Broadland Local Plan but has yet to be developed at the base date of this plan. The principle of development on the site has already been accepted and it is expected that development will take place within the time-period of this local plan up to 2038. The site is considered in the calculation of the housing requirement, providing at least 20 homes, but more may be accommodated, subject to an acceptable design and layout being achieved.

6.25 Adjacent site GNLP0293 is proposed to be allocated for a further 40 new homes and both sites should be masterplanned together to bring forward a cohesive development. This site is underlain by sand and gravel so Norfolk Minerals and Waste Core Strategy policy CS16 would apply if the site size is increased above 1 hectare.

Policy CAW2

Land east of Gayford Road, Cawston (approx. 0.8ha) is allocated for residential development. The site will accommodate approximately 20 homes.

The development will be expected to address the following specific matters:

  1. 1. To be masterplanned with GNLP0293 to bring forward a cohesive development.
  2. 2. Access via Aylsham Road.
  3. 3. Improvements to footways, particularly across the site frontage.
  4. 4. Improvements to sewage network may be necessary.

Reasons

Combine sites into a single allocation to ensure the plan is effective and justified.
