3. Planning and
Site Context
The proposed development site is located within the village of Mundesley and
situated between the High Street and Water Lane. The site is currently an open
arable field and features Mundesley Beck which is located on the lower part of
the site.
The site is identified for residential and open space within the North Norfolk
Site Specific Allocation document (MUN06). The site is adjacent to the
Mundesley Conservation Area.
!
In response to the Site Allocation document requirements, the current proposal
provides a proportion of public open space on the southern part of the site,
with the proposed residential land located on the northern part of the site. The
residential land will be served by a dedicated access from the High Street.
There will be no direct vehicular access from Water Lane although there is a
potential for pedestrian access from two points along Water Lane across the
public open space area to the residential development area. There will also be
potential for additional planting and grassland management of the public
open space area.
The northern most area of the open space provides public access to Mundesley
Beck. Whilst the southernmost part of open space is to be used as a grazing
area for horses with a path alongside the circular route around the perimeter.
The proposed development of the open space area will also see the management
and enhancement of the flood plain along Mundesley Beck, allowing it to be an
area of leisure enjoyment, as well as a key asset of Mundesley village.
