Search the Public Notice PortalA fresh bid to build homes in a Norfolk village has been lodged after a previous scheme was refused earlier this year.
Locals in Bergh Apton, between Poringland and Loddon, are preparing themselves for another fight against a developer who wants to build on land in Cooke’s Road.
A bid to develop the site was rejected in May amid concerns the village was not the right area for the development.
South Norfolk Council has now received new plans for three self-build homes on the same site.
However, these have been widely condemned by locals angered by the prospect of houses in the rural location.
Through the council's planning portal, one local said: “It is hard not to feel weary with this application.
“This development is not needed. It is not an asset to the village.”
Another objector added: “Nothing has changed and the development will still add extra pressure to the village infrastructure, which has very few facilities.”
A neighbour said the latest application had only been “tweaked slightly” compared to the previous plans.
The developer says it has addressed concerns raised by officials and that its scheme should be approved.
