Harleston housing development appear to be on the rocks as principal planning officer outlines concerns Published: 12:00, 22 February 2021
Plans to build 110 new homes on a contentious site have been dealt a significant blow by a senior council officer, to the delight of residents who have spent months campaigning against them.
Chris Watts, South Norfolk Councilâs principle planning officer, sent an email to the agent of the developer earlier this month, highlighting the hurdles facing the proposed development just south of Redenhall Road in Harleston.
Michael Poynter (pictured), who lives close to the proposed site, had already registered his objection on the application and described his cautious optimism after reading the email.
