Full text:

In updating the new settlement boundary for Orwell, the Land at Hurdleditch Road as identified by approved Reserved Matters application S/3870/18/RM should be included in the settlement boundary. This residential development for 49 dwellings and community car park adjoins the existing settlement and forms part of the built up area of the village. The Councils latest Housing Trajectory states that 39 of of 49 approved dwellings had been delivered as of December 2020. It would not be logical or sound for this delivered/completed development to not be included within the settlement boundary.

In updating the new settlement boundary for Orwell, the Land south of Hurdleditch Road as identified by approved planning application S/2379/13/FL should be included in the settlement boundary. The residential development at 'Oatlands' was delivered many years ago and forms part of the built up area of the village. It would not be logical or sound for this delivered/completed development to not be included within the settlement boundary.
