Dear Mr Pointen,

Re: Potential development at 12, Mill Road, Briston Norfolk NR24 2JF.

Thank you for the recent call regarding the above site, and potential for development. Hopefully the following comments will be useful to you. If you (or your client) have any questions, or wish to discuss anything further, then my contact details are at the bottom of this letter.

1) The site is located within the village of Briston, identified as a ‘Service Village’ within the North Norfolk District Council (NNDC) spatial strategy. This means that, in principle, a majority of new development will occur in identified areas, such as Primary and Secondary settlements, and Service Villages. 2) Given the size of the plot, it is unlikely that NNDC would/could support two or more dwellings on the site, particularly with a view to Highways amenity (close to junction, and intensification of any vehicular access) or available amenity/garden space to be allocated to more than one property. It may well be classed as a potential ‘over-development’ if more than one dwelling is suggested. 3) However, in terms of current planning policy, it would be feasible to consider a ‘replacement dwelling’ on the site, which could– in principle– be larger then the existing, and also located elsewhere on the site. 4) The site looked well served by access to the public Highway, and there is evidence of significant planting on the site which would need to be carefully considered if any replacement dwelling was located elsewhere on the site but, in principle, a replacement dwelling of a larger size should be possible and could be supported through a careful design and submission process. 5) If more than one dwelling is considered (going back to point 1), the issues which may arise will be concern from Highways, Landscaping/Conservation feedback and available amenity/garden land for multiple dwellings. This, and local feedback from Parish Council and neighbours would also figure. In summary, the site looks suitable for a good sized family home style replacement dwelling, with good amenity/garden area, existing single access to the highway, and some mature planting which can be supplemented to provide a nice site in a designated Service Village within the District.

As above, if you or your client have any questions, or wish to discuss anything further, please do contact me using the details below.

Best wishes,

Simon Pegg
