    Overview

    Public consultation

    We have submitted a detailed planning application for a 62-home development on land to the west of Etling View, north of Norwich Road, in Dereham. Our proposals include a mix of two-to-five-bedroom houses, including eight bungalows, plus public open space and play areas.

    The site was identified for development in the Breckland Local Plan and we received formal consent for our outline planning application in September 2020, following the recent completion of the associated S106 Planning Agreement in mid-August 2020. The outline application established further principles and parameters for developing the land.

    We have also now submitted a reserved matters planning application, which contains the development’s finer details, including a site layout, the style and appearance of all homes and further details relating to car parking, refuse collection and design of open spaces.

    We had anticipated hosting a physical consultation event, but, due to the pandemic, we have opted to switch to an online consultation, where residents can safely view our proposals and provide their feedback.

    We held a public consultation from 14th September to 12th October. This has now officially closed but you can register your interest to receive updates on the site.

    Constraints and Opportunities Plan_Dereham

    The application site is undeveloped greenfield land, approximately 3.78 hectares in size, comprising a mix of semi-improved grass and arable land.

    There is a field hedgerow bisecting part of the site and in addition, dense, mature landscaping to numerous boundaries containing native species such as English oak, hawthorn and ash.

    Views to the north are generally screened by the existing vegetation where beyond lies an existing and well-used public right of way running parallel with the site boundary. Further existing footpath networks are located to the west.

    Immediately to the south are existing residential properties at Briar Close, Windmill Avenue and Campion Road which have a predominance of bungalows and chalet bungalows.

    To the east lies the former Taylor Wimpey residential development known as Etling View, which is separated from the application site by a further hedge line interspersed with mature trees.

    To the west is a small wooded area and open fields and beyond is the eastern edge of the settlement of Dereham.

    The application site is well contained by the existing constraints, in particular the existing landscape context that is largely due to be retained and enhanced where opportunities allow.
