The area identified as the location for a sustainable extension to<br />

Thetford is partially located on an identified mineral resource (sand<br />

and gravel) on the British Geological Survey mineral resources map<br />

(2004). A map showing the extent of the identified resource is<br />

included in this response. As part of the final submission document it<br />

is considered that the AAP should indicate that as part of any<br />

planning application the applicant will need to carry out investigations<br />

to identify whether the resource is viable for mineral extraction in line<br />

with Policy CS.16 (safeguarding mineral and waste sites and mineral<br />

resources) of the emerging Minerals and Waste Core Strategy. If the<br />

mineral resource is viable then the applicant will need to identify if it<br />

could be extracted economically prior to development taking place so<br />

as not to needlessly sterilise a mineral resource as indicated in<br />

Mineral Policy Statement 1 and Policy CS.16 above.<br />

Opportunities may exist to utilise the resource in the construction of<br />

the sustainable extension, reducing the carbon cost of the project by<br />

reducing the distance aggregate is transported to the site. There are<br />

also a number of waste sites and a wastewater treatment site within<br />

the AAP area (see map attached), which are safeguarded in Core<br />

Strategy Policy CS.16. The minerals and waste policy team at<br />

Norfolk County Council should therefore be consulted if any<br />

development, not covered by exceptions to Policy CS.16, is planned<br />

within the consultation areas which surround these sites. This is so<br />

that incompatible development does not prejudice the operation of Noted. Note that some of the area identified is now allocated a<br />

these sites.<br />

Scheduled Monument.<br />

Looking at Map 2, I am very disappointed that ribbon development is<br />

being proposed so far through Kilverstone on the Brettenham Road.<br />

If this goes ahead, Kilverstone will cease to exist as I village. I would<br />

have preferred to see development restricted to a belt no further than<br />

the entrance to Kilverstone Hall.<br />

I think that extending the development towards Kilverstone is too<br />

ambitious.<br />

Is the formal and semi natural parkland running alongside Joe Blunt's<br />

Lane going to extend the current width of the lane?<br />

Screening to existing and planned industrial buildings/estates should<br />

be carefully considered. The existing large industrial building south<br />

of Gallows Hill has been an eyesore for many years when entering<br />

the town from the north.<br />

Comments noted. This is the last phase of the development.<br />

Considering the land budget and the suitability of the land, this is<br />

an option we are having to include to ensure delivery of housing<br />

to meet local need and support the local economy. No further action.<br />

This is a detailed design matter, although it should be noted that<br />

there are hedges and trees either side of the lane which will be<br />

protected by Policy TH2 - locally distinct features of the<br />

landscape. The need or desire to widen Joe Blunt's Lane would<br />

need to be weighed against any effect on vegetation. No further action.<br />

Comments noted. This issue is addressed as part of the<br />

Gallows' Hill Policy TH4 and New Employment Land TH13 which<br />

includes design principles. No further action.<br />

Please consider reducing the planned number of new dwellings<br />

and/or implement the much needed improvements to the town Employment adjacent to the A11 is an acceptable use.<br />

centre. This would enable the pulling back of residential/employment Elsewhere, there are green space buffers. There is national<br />

areas away from the A11, increasing green corridors and/or the size guidance that covers the effect of neighbouring land uses on<br />

of gardens.<br />

each other. No further action.<br />

The proposed new residential housing is too large and not required.<br />

The town does not have the facilities to support such a large<br />

increase of people. The jobs and support services should come<br />

before the provision of more housing. The traffic congestion is<br />

appalling at certain times. We cannot have any more housing.<br />

Will roads in the new residential areas be wide enough for parking,<br />

M P Harrison Thetford 11 Policy TH 1 Comment All new houses to be eco friendly.<br />

or is there a danger of it being like elsewhere in the town with cars up<br />

on the kerbs? Don't like the sound of 'semi-natural' - why not leave<br />

some proper 'natural'?<br />

Disagree. There is a requirement to provide more housing and<br />

available evidence demonstrates the proposals are deliverable.<br />

We set out a phased approach, including significant employment<br />

land in the early phases. Impact on road network has been<br />

investigated as part of the transport study and various measures<br />

identified to address the impact of the development. No further action.<br />

The Core Strategy has parking standards detailed in DC19. The<br />

design of the roads and of car parking will be one that is more<br />

detailed than the <strong>TAAP</strong>.<br />

need to go beyond building regulations in relation to energy, No further action.
