Representation Summary:

MSO6 states “To ensure the sustainable and expedient delivery of mineral extraction while protecting people from harm, positively contributing to the natural, built and historic environments and mitigating against unacceptable adverse cumulative impacts”. One such cumulative impact is the call for sites for housing allocation in the Greater Norwich Development plan, which includes four sites adjacent to the A143 in the middle of Haddiscoe village. If some or all of these sites are adopted, then the timeframes will overlap and there is the potential for two major construction sites working either end of the village at the same time which would be even more disruptive in what is already a congested road system. This is unsound and ineffective.
