It has a good rangeof local facilities including a post office, convenienceshopping, doctors surgery, pub and several othershops and is considered suitable for the full allocation.12.15.2 The High Street contains many attractive timberframed buildings and much of the village is aConservation Area. Walsingham contains a well-renowned Christian shrine which, alongwith the Priory and Abbey, attracts many visitors to the village. This provides local jobopportunities as well as helping to support the range of shops and services. The presenceof the Wells to Walsingham Light Railway also attracts visitors to the village. The village isset in attractive countryside, and it is important that any new development respects thehistoric character of the village as well as the attractive landscape setting.12.15.3 Walsingham has had new housing over the years which has helped support local facilitiessuch as the school, and additional dwellings will help provide additional affordable housingas well as continuing to support services and bring forward other community benefits.
