Raised an objection on flood risk grounds.

Comment Date: Tue 13 Jan 2026

Difficult to sustain refusal but concerns as site is not close to facilities, schools etc.
Below threshold for recommending refusal regarding number of units and existing permitted residential use of second floor.
HA will leave matters of sustainability and accessibility for LPA to determine.
Difficult to sustain an objection to the principle to the proposed development but suggest amendments to:
Vehicular access, parking and turning and accessibility.

Comment Date: Fri 09 Jan 2026

Objections regarding the following issues:
Loss of community facility
Drainage, sewage capacity and flood risk
Traffic and parking

Comment Date: Tue 16 Dec 2025

No objection but would like more detail regarding the following:

Vehicular Access - The extant access was derived via a fully open frontage, however, it is considered that the access width should be reduced and clearly defined by a 5.0m wide access point to the proposed parking and turning area, ideally having clear separation from the adjacent caravan park access. It is considered that access visibility should not be an concern but this will need to be demonstrated in accordance with current guidance.
o
Parking & Turning provision - The present car parking area is a mtter of fact but was not demarcated but the on-site parking and turning should be clearly shown in accordance with current guidance, and in having regard to the previous comment in respect of vehicle access
o
Accessibility - There is a limited a daytime bus service between Yarmouth and Bungay, the nearest (unmarked) bus stops are located some 100m to the southwest of the sit and the lack of footway provision and along the route from the site to the bus stops would prove a deterrent to the use of public transport and a realistic opportunity of encouraging a modal shift away from the use of the private car.

To address this appropriate offsite footway provision should be provided across the sites frontage and continuing to the junction of Low Road and should be indicated on the plans. It will address concerns in relation to safe and suitable to the proposed development access for non-motorised users.

Upon receipt of revised plans, I would wish to be re-consulted so that I may recommend appropriate conditions.
