North Norfolk Site AllocationsAllocations in Service Villages 1213912.7.8 The site provides long views across surrounding fields and any development should retainthese views where possible. Development could therefore be contained to the southernedge of the site frontage, with the access road and some open space on the northern edgein order to retain some long views. The surrounding properties are generally low densityand treatment of the site frontage should have regard to its setting within the village, withlandscaping and some well designed dwellings fronting onto Whimpwell Street. Site layoutand density across the whole site should also reflect the character of the surrounding area,and retain views of the lighthouse which are available from Grub Street. Site access shouldbe provided to Whimpwell Street away from the southern corner of the site, so as not tocreate a crossroads with the entrance to Lighthouse Close. The bus stop on the site frontagemay need re-siting to allow adequate vehicle access, but this should be in the immediatevicinity of the site.Constraints12.7.9 The site is a locally important archaeological site and therefore archaeological work maybe necessary prior to any development taking place.12.7.10 The site consists of Grade 1 agricultural land, however, its allocation would have a minimalimpact on the overall supply in the village.
