Search the Public Notice PortalA developer has won permission to build to dozens of homes opposite a primary school in a Norfolk village.
South Norfolk Council’s planning committee approved the application for 39 homes on land east of School Road in Bressingham, near Diss.
At the meeting, Daniel Jones, an agent for the landowner and the developer, Silverley Properties Ltd, said the family had strong personal ties to the site and wanted to deliver a high-quality scheme in keeping with emerging planning policy.
He said: "Their grandparents lived on the top of the corner of School Road and Church Road.
“They wanted this to be their legacy land in the village - something they can be proud of and that people will look back on as a good job."
Around 33pc of the homes will be affordable, while 80pc will be three-bedroom properties or smaller.
The development will cover around two hectares of land and includes a new car park for Bressingham Primary School, which the homes will sit opposite.
The 19 new parking spaces will primarily be used by parents and carers picking up and dropping off their children, to prevent an increase in parking on verges by the school.
The scheme had attracted objections from locals and the parish council, who raised concern about flooding, sewage capacity and traffic on School Road, which has been described as narrow and prone to surface water flooding.
Yet despite the concerns, planning officers advised that the social and economic benefits outweighed the risks, and councillors voted unanimously to approve the application.
