43. This is a privately owned site which will extend an existing Gypsy and Traveller site known as The Old Produce Shop, Holt Road, Horsford. The allocation of GNLP5021 will result in its expansion from the existing single pitch to 7 pitches in total.
44. The design and layout of the site should consider measures to mitigate any noise, air quality and landscape issues that may arise from the site being located just to the north-west of the Broadland Northway (A1270) junction with the A140.
45. The site is within the 250-metre consultation area for the Norwich North Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC), although the sites are separated by the A140 Cromer Road roundabout with the Broadland Northway. Development of GNLP5021 must not result in unacceptable amenity impacts on future residents which may result in complaints which could prejudice operation of the HWRC.
Policy GNLP5021
The Old Produce Shop, Holt Road, Horsford (0.9 ha) is allocated for a residential Gypsy and Traveller site. The site will accommodate approximately 6 additional residential Gypsy and Traveller pitches.
The development will address the following site-specific matters:
- Access should be via the existing access off Holt Road that serves the Old Produce Shop site.
- Noise and air quality investigations are required, with provision of a layout and design that incorporates a landscape buffer to the nearby major roads and noise mitigation measures to protect residential amenity.
- Pollution mitigation measures are required as the site is within the catchment of groundwater source protection zone (III).
- The residential pitches shall not be occupied by any persons other than Gypsies and Travellers and their families.
