While you are on your Christmas break, don’t forget that the comments on the planning application close on 31 December (the South Norfolk Council website still says 8 December but ignore that). You can make your comments on the planning website here: http://planning.south-norfolk.gov.uk/Northgate/PlanningExplorer/Generic/StdDetails.aspx?PT=Planning%20Applications%20On-Line&TYPE=PL/PlanningPK.xml&PARAM0=756563&XSLT=/Northgate/PlanningExplorer/SiteFiles/Skins/SouthNorfolk/xslt/PL/PLDetails.xslt&FT=Planning%20Application%20Details&PUBLIC=Y&XMLSIDE=/Northgate/PlanningExplorer/SiteFiles/Skins/SouthNorfolk/Menus/PL.xml&DAURI=PLANNING

On that website you can also view the responses from Hethersett Parish Council and Hethersett Our Way.

It’s great to see so many responses on the planning website from residents (scroll down and click on ‘view related documents’ to see them all so far – there are around 90) setting out concerns about the proposed development. It’s important that we provide clear reasons why the planning application should not be approved – whether your particular concern is about schools, congestion on the roads, access to village facilities, loss of wildlife habitat please make your views known.
