Two large houses by Sir Edwin Lutyens,their landscaped grounds, the presence of manymature trees within larger than average gardens,and the central cricket ground with thatched roofpavilion gives the centre of the village thecharacter of a leafy suburb. Much of the centreof the village is designated as a ConservationArea.12.12.2 The village has a reasonable range of communityfacilities including a primary school, shop, postoffice, public house, large hotel and a number ofbusinesses.12.12.3 In the longer term significant parts of the villagemay be affected by coastal erosion and these aredesignated as a Coastal Erosion Constraint Areain the Core Strategy.

It is visible from the immediate surroundings but is not seen as part of thewider landscape. Consequently, a small scale residential development would be compatiblewith the prevailing character of the area. Vehicular access is only likely to be possible fromBracken Avenue and to achieve this the existing bungalow would need to be demolished.As it would appear that any vehicular access would be narrow and the Highway Authorityhas indicated that the site is not suitable for more than 6-8 dwellings. Development shouldbe limited to single storey buildings only.Constraints12.12.5 There should be no development of this site until satisfactory foul drainage can be provided.Upgrades to the pumping station at Cromer may be required.12.12.6 There are no surface water sewers in the vicinity of the site. Sewers cross the site anddiversion would be at the developers' expense.Deliverability12.12.7 The site is suitable and available for development. It is in single ownership and the landownerhas indicated support for the allocation. There are no known reasons why development onthe site cannot be achieved within the plan period.
