Policy GNLP2034: South of Bowlers Close, Freethorpe

6.44

This site south of Bowlers Close is allocated for residential development as it is well related to the village with a safe pedestrian route to Freethorpe Primary School.  The site is allocated subject to access via Bowlers Close, although the promoter will need to demonstrate that they can provide a footway and carriageway of adequate width to enable safe access.

Freethorpe Water Recycling Centre is currently flow non-compliant.  There is an application to increase the dry Weather Flow of the sewage works, which should bring it compliant with the permit.  There should be no development until the capacity has been upgraded.
