Question 83: Proposed site MIN 25

Representation ID: 91896

Received: 27/07/2018

Respondent: Haddiscoe Parish Council

Representation Summary:

I am writing to you in my capacity of Parish Clerk to Haddiscoe Parish Council. Could you please include our comments below in your Consultation:


This Parish Council are implacably opposed to developing the site you identify as MIN 25 in the village of Haddiscoe. We are also surprised that we were not a recipient of your letter dated 26.06.18, notifying only the immediate residents of the proposed site. We supported the residents of this village in preventing an identical development four years ago, planning ref APP/X2600/A/13/2197841. The original Planning application was refused, despite the Planning Officer's recommendation for approval, thanks to our parishioners energetic campaign called "Stopit". The reasons for the original refusal and the upholding of the Council's decision on Appeal in 2014, were the protection of heritage assets, in particular our Grade I Listed Church, and an unacceptable impact on the environment and residential amenities, from what would have been an industrial scale development in the heart of our village. The Stopit campaign raised £ 19,300 by private subscription from residents in order to fund legal fees. Of 227 households in the village, 120 were active Stopit members and in the planning process there were 175 objections and just 1 supporting letter (from the owner of the site). This was a stressful and anxious six years which we do not wish to repeat. We would earnestly request that this site is excluded from the Local Plan review.
