Description

DISS
Diss is a thriving market town in south Norfolk, located to the north-west of the A140 / A143 junction and with a railway station on the Norwich - London Liverpool Street line, meaning that the town is less than 20 minutes from Norwich and Stowmarket and approximately 90-100 minutes from London. There is also a small bus station just outside the town centre with services linking to Norwich, Bury St Edmunds and a range of key regional settlements as well as other local towns and villages. These good transport connections make Diss a sustainable location for new housing.

The Greater Norwich Local Plan ('GNLP') identifies Diss as a Main Town under policy 7.2. It has a strong local employment base and supports three main supermarkets, a wide range of local shops and services in the town centre, and a full range of facilities including a secondary school, GPs, leisure centre, library, and a variety of sports clubs.

The continuous built-up area of the town falls within the parishes of Diss and Roydon, giving the town a population of almost 10,000 people. Sites have been allocated in the 2003 and 2015 South Norfolk Local Plans which have maintained the growth of the town over recent years.

SITE DESCRIPTION
The site extends to 8.4 Ha / 20.75 acres of mostly arable land and is located within the northern extent of Diss between Shelfanger Road to the west and Heywood Road to the east. It is bordered by agricultural land along the north-eastern boundary and a residential bungalow, beyond which is the Diss Sports Ground and Skate Park on the north-western side. The St Henry Morse Roman Catholic Church and Diss Cemetery lie to the south.

A public right of way runs through the site north-south (RB25) and another public footpath runs immediately beyond the northern boundary (FP7/FP26). The land on the west side of RB25 lies within the Parish of Roydon with the remainder and majority of the site being within the Parish of Diss. The site is less than 1km north of Diss town centre, and Shelfanger Road
and Heywood Road are residential in character.

The site contains two small parcels of land which are excluded from the sale as they are in separate ownership to the remainder of the site. Neither parcel is included in the planning permission.

PLANNING
The site was allocated in the Diss and District Neighbourhood Plan (adopted 2023) under policy DDNP 1. Following this outline planning permission was granted by South Norfolk Council on 11 January 2024 under reference 2021/2782 for the erection of up to 179 dwellings, 0.64 Ha of land for the future extension of Diss Cemetery, a new road linking Shelfanger Road and Heywood Road/Burston Road, public open space, and associated infrastructure and landscaping. All matters are reserved apart from access.
