Land east of Woodbastwick Road, Blofield Heath (approx. 0.64ha) is allocated for residential development.  The site is likely to accommodate approximately 20 homes.

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

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

  1. Access (vehicular and pedestrian) from Woodbastwick Road and adequate visibility will need to be demonstrated.
  2. A 2.0m frontage footway will be required along with improvements to the existing footway at Mill Road and provision of a pedestrian crossing point at the Mill Road junction with Woodbastwick Road.
  3. Design to limit removal of roadside hedgerow and possible tree removal to provide frontage development, footpath and visibility splay to Woodbastwick Road.
  4. Protection measures may need to be taken for grass snakes identified on site.
