Call me cynical if you wish, but it was also pointed out that if the letting idea failed, after 12 months application could be made to change the designation to residential which would hugely inflate the value! . . . and the purchasers would soon be complaining about the nuisance of boats coming and going and engines running. I see on Woodwose's pic that water was free . . . those were the days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a fine line between "character" and being a dump. In my view Ludham Bridge is a bit of dump and the development seems a sensible way to proceed. Change is the law of life. I completely support CambridgeCabby's view. Now that is a surprise, also its not just the council there does seem to be genuine environmental issues raised by various departments and neighbours, don't think anyone is saying there shouldn't be any development just questioning the impact from the design issues as they stand.

That's actually a very good point, I can easily imagine that happening. It's like people buying luxury flats next to pubs which have been there for 100 years and complaining about the noise. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea14Ian Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 All I will say is think with the amount of boats that stop there , could do with a bit of a make overm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDTRIPLE Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I hope any changes are done sympathetically to the area. If the holiday units are of the log cabin type, and set back in some gardens etc, it would look rather pretty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CambridgeCabby Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 so as people are not confused , the elevations pictured are not where the existing shop /restaurant are currently which will be replaced but at the rear of the existing buildings where there used to be knackered hay sheds years ago 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I think that looks OK, I can now imagine the holiday lets being a nice place to stay for a Broads based holiday, especially perhaps for folk who used to boat but for one reason or another don't any more. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floydraser Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 So now would be a good time to document the old place for the history books. Every detail including interviews with old employees, customers etc recorded on modern, high quality media. Then it will live for ever. The new design doesn't look too bad at all IMO. Better than these someone prepared earlier, 1960's: https://www.holidaylettings.co.uk/rentals/emsworth/304690 Hope that's ok, being an advert? I would just hope the materials weather evenly in the long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 I remember them, I stayed nearby for six or so months when they were practically new. I hardly dare admit it now but I rather liked them, a practical solution in areas subject to potential flooding. Because of the flat roofs the height of the roofline is not excessive. Maybe something on those lines at Acle Bridge? (Seriously!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broads01 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I can recall seeing a few properties around the Broads on stilts but it seems unusual to plan them as high as they look in the diagram. Is the Ant liable to flood that badly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope not, given the amount of dosh that has just been spent on improving the flood defences along that stretch of the river! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 The stilt height of a number of modern homes on Oulton Broad and Gorleston, for example, appears to be based not so much on potential flood levels but on making the space below the ground floor usable as a garage or whatever. Effectively the downstairs is designed to flood yet it remains as a useful space. Hope that that makes sense! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
