\n Now there are objections regarding the development resulting in the loss of a number of commercial units.\n<\/p>\n

\n A statement from North Norfolk District Council’s economic growth team added: “Whilst these are currently vacant, the site is identified as an Employment Area and is therefore not considered to be suitable for housing”.\n<\/p>\n
\n The council, acting as the Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA), also said there was an absence of supporting information relating to local flood risk to the development.\n<\/p>\n
\n Up to 23 parking spaces have also been earmarked for the home. although there were concerns by highways that there would be “a parking shortfall”.\n<\/p>\n
\n The new building would run along the length of the site, near the former Great Eastern Rail line.\n<\/p>\n
\n A south-facing garden for residents will also be included at the back of the new home.\n<\/p>\n

\n A design and access statement said the development would support “higher dependency” elderly residents, including those who require nursing and dementia care.\n<\/p>\n
\n The statement added that the home would “generate employment opportunities through staffing requirements and care provision roles” and that the parking was “sufficient for a care home this size”.\n<\/p>\n
\n It continued: “This site is a highly sustainable one located within the designated urban area of Fakenham close to the town centre and a wide range of facilities and services.\n<\/p>\n
\n “[The proposal would] cause no harm to the amenity of neighbours and create a good standard of amenity for future residents”.\n<\/p>\n
\n A decision on the application is due to be made by North Norfolk District Council at a later date.\n<\/p>\n
