More than 100 objections lodged against Hoveton housing plans

Summarised from Eastern Daily Press's report · Updated 5 Nov, 14:20 · Archive

Over 110 objections have been submitted against plans for 238 homes on farmland near Hoveton in Norfolk.

FW Properties has submitted a planning application to build 238 homes on farmland between Tunstead Road and Stalham Road on the edge of Hoveton in Norfolk, along with a pumping station, substation and associated infrastructure. Over 110 objections have been lodged against the proposals with several councils and elected representatives.

Local councils have raised multiple concerns about the scheme. Tunstead Parish Council said it has a 'strong and unequivocal objection', warning that despite the site being on the edge of Hoveton, the scale of the development will cause 'severe impacts' to Tunstead. Hoveton Community Council said there were points which had not been 'adequately addressed', while Ashmanhaugh Parish Council objected on the grounds that significant infrastructure, highway and environmental concerns remain unresolved.

North Norfolk District councillor Nigel Dixon raised 14 objections himself, stating that 'traffic congestion on the A1151 is already unacceptable, over capacity and in need of significant relief'. He also questioned whether Belaugh water recycling centre would have sufficient capacity to handle additional flows from the development without emergency discharges of untreated water into the River Bure.
