This site to the east of Manor Road was allocated in the 2016 Broadland Local Plan but has yet to be developed at the base date of this plan, although planning permission has been granted (20182043). 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 60 homes, but more may be accommodated, subject to an acceptable design and layout being achieved.
Policy HNF1
Land east of Manor Road, Newton St Faith (approx. 2.53 ha), is allocated for residential development. This will accommodate approximately 60 homes.
The development will be expected to address the following specific matters:
- Further investigation in respect of contamination will be required.
- Access (vehicular and pedestrian) should be via Manor Road.
- Off-site improvements to the highway network may also be necessary which might include a footway link to the school, provision of a crossing point and upgrading/widening the existing path.
- Potential to include play space on-site.
- The site is in close proximity of a Major Aquifer of high vulnerability and therefore pollution control techniques should be used to ensure that development of the site does not lead to pollution of the water environment.
- Any development must conserve and enhance the significance of the grade II listed Middle Farmhouse and Granary to the east of the site, including any contribution made to that significance by setting. This includes but is not limited to landscaping along the eastern site boundary.
