APPENDIX 1 – THE GROWTH OPTIONS

The growth options tables 1 to 6 below divide housing figures into commitment, the plan baseline and how the additional homes from the various options would be broadly distributed, including percentage figures of overall growth. "Conceptual" maps are also provided for each option.

The growth options tables 1 to 6 below use the most up to date information on commitment from April 2017 andgroup commitment and growth in parishes into planning areas as follows:

Option 1 Concentration close to Norwich

The majority of the plan's housing requirement to 2036 is already committed. The total requirement for new allocations is 7,200. In order to ensure that urban brownfield sites are maximised and rural needs are addressed, all options include a "baseline position" which provides for 3,900 homes. Therefore there are sites for 3,300 further dwellings to find. Option 1 would concentrate all the 3,300 additional dwellings close to Norwich as urban extensions or in some of the closest villages.

	Commitment^[139]	Baseline	Option 1	Total	Growth %	Distribution of growth option
Norwich	6,999	1,500		8,499	20	The current figure of 1,500 homes in the baseline aims to maximise growth on brownfield sites whilst retaining sites for employment, town centre and open space uses. It will be kept under review as the plan is progressed.
Fringe Sectors	21,381	200^[140]	3,300	24,881	58	Around: 1,000 homes in the north east; 600 in the north and north west; 500 in the west; 1,200 in the south west.
Main Towns^[141]	5,468	550		6,018	14	There would be no additional homes beyond the baseline in Main Towns, KSCs or Service and Other Villages under this option.
KSCs	674	450		1,124	3
Service and Other Villages or Village Groups	1,143	1,200		2,343	5

Totals	35,665	3,900	3,300	42,865
		7,200

Option 2 Transport Corridors

The majority of the plan's housing requirement to 2036 is already committed. The total requirement for new allocations is 7,200. In order to ensure that urban brownfield sites are maximised and rural needs are addressed, all options include a "baseline position" which provides for 3,900 homes. Therefore there are sites for 3,300 further dwellings to find. Option 2 would concentrate all of the additional 3,300 dwellings in the main transport corridors. There is a degree of overlap with Option 1 as urban fringe locations tend to be well served by transport corridors.

	Commitment	Baseline	Option 2	Total	Growth %	Distribution of growth option
Norwich	6,999	1,500		8,499	20	The current figure of 1,500 homes in the baseline aims to maximise growth on brownfield sites whilst retaining sites for employment, town centre and open space uses. It will be kept under review as the plan is progressed.
Fringe Sectors	21,381	200	2,200	23,781	55	Around: 1,000 homes in the north east; 200 in the north and north west; 500 in the west; 500 in the south west. Due to existing commitment and environmental constraints associated with the Broads, there would be no growth in this option above the baseline in the A47 (E) corridor.
Main Towns	5,468	550	1,100	7,118	17	The remaining 1,100 homes would be predominantly allocated to Wymondham in the A11 Corridor and to Diss, possibly including villages on the A140 (S) (other than Long Stratton where there are significant constraints to growth beyond current commitments).
KSCs	674	450		1,124	3	Other than possibly in villages on the A140 (S) near Diss, there would be no additional homes in KSCs or Service and Other Villages beyond the baseline under this option.
Service and Other Villages or Village Groups	1,143	1,200		2,343	5
Totals	35,665	3,900	3,300	42,865
Totals	35,665	7,200		42,865

$C:\Users\Mike.Burrell\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\YSV79Q22\Transport Corridors REV SEPT2017.jpg$ Option 3 Supporting the Cambridge Norwich Tech Corridor

The majority of the plan's housing requirement to 2036 is already committed. The total requirement for new allocations is 7,200. In order to ensure that urban brownfield sites are maximised and rural needs are addressed, all options include a "baseline position" which provides for 3,900 homes. Therefore there are sites for 3,300 further dwellings to find. Option 3 would concentrate the great majority of the additional 3,300 dwellings in the A11 corridor, with significant growth in the south west fringe, Wymondham and a new settlement in or near the corridor.

	Commitment	Baseline	Option 3	Total	Growth %	Distribution of growth option
Norwich	6,999	1,500		8,499	20	The current figure of 1,500 homes in the baseline aims to maximise growth on brownfield sites whilst retaining sites for employment, town centre and open space uses. It will be kept under review as the plan is progressed.
Fringe Sectors	21,381	200	2,000	23,581	55	Around: 500 dwellings in the west (which lies between the NRP and the Food Enterprise Zone, close to the A11 corridor); 1,500 in the south west on the A11 corridor.
Main Towns	5,468	550	700	6,718	16	The additional 700 homes would be predominantly allocated to Wymondham in the A11 Corridor rather than the other Main towns.
KSCs	674	450	100	1,224	3	The 100 additional homes in KSCs beyond the baseline would most likely be allocated to Hingham, which already has high tech businesses and is close to the A11 corridor.
Service and Other Villages or Village Groups	1,143	1,200		2,343	5	There would be no additional homes in Service and Other villages beyond the baseline under this option.
New Settlement			500	500	1	There would be a new settlement in or near the A11 corridor under this option.
Totals	35,665	3,900	3,300	42,865
Totals	35,665	7,200		42,865

Option 4 Dispersal

The majority of the plan's housing requirement to 2036 is already committed. The total requirement for new allocations is 7,200. In order to ensure that urban brownfield sites are maximised and rural needs are addressed, all options include a "baseline position" which provides for 3,900 homes. Therefore there are sites for 3,300 further dwellings to find. Option 4 provides high levels of dispersal to villages while also putting a limited amount of growth in the Norwich fringe parishes and the A11 corridor.

	Commitment	Baseline	Option 4	Total	Growth %	Distribution of growth option
Norwich	6,999	1,500		8,499	20	The current figure of 1,500 homes in the baseline aims to maximise growth on brownfield sites whilst retaining sites for employment, town centre and open space uses. It will be kept under review as the plan is progressed.
Fringe sectors	21,381	200	350	21,931	51	Around: 100 homes in the north and north west; 100 in the west; 150 in the south west.
Main Towns	5,468	550	650	6,668	16	The large majority of the option's 650 homes would be distributed to Wymondham, Diss and possibly to Harleston.
KSCs	674	450	400	1,524	4	The large majority of the option's 400 homes would be likely to be distributed to the KSCs in South Norfolk (Loddon, Hingham and Poringland).
Service and Other Villages or Village Groups	1,143	1,200	1,900	4,243	10	The distribution of growth between these villages would be dependent on a range of factors including availability of sites, location, access to services and deliverability.
Totals	35,665	3,900	3.300	42,865
Totals	35,665	7,200		42,865

Option 5 Dispersal plus New Settlement

The majority of the plan's housing requirement to 2036 is already committed. The total requirement for new allocations is 7,200. In order to ensure that urban brownfield sites are maximised and rural needs are addressed, all options include a "baseline position" which provides for 3,900 homes. Therefore there are sites for 3,300 further dwellings to find. Option 5 is similar to Option 4 in that it provides high levels of dispersal to villages while also putting a limited amount of growth in the Norwich fringe parishes and the A11 corridor. It differs to Option 4 in that it diverts some of the village growth to a new settlement.

	Commitment	Baseline	Option 5	Total	Growth %	Distribution of growth option
Norwich	6,999	1,500		8,499	20	The current figure of 1,500 homes in the baseline aims to maximise growth on brownfield sites whilst retaining sites for employment, town centre and open space uses. It will be kept under review as the plan is progressed.
Fringe Sectors	21,381	200	350	21,931	51	Around: 100 homes in the north and north west; 100 in the west; 150 in the south west.
Main Towns	5,468	550	650	6,668	16	The large majority of the option's 650 homes would be likely to be distributed to Wymondham, Diss and possibly Harleston.
KSCs	674	450	400	1,524	4	The large majority of the option's 400 homes would be likely to be distributed to the KSCs in South Norfolk (Loddon, Hingham and Poringland).
Service and Other Villages or Village Groups	1,143	1,200	1,400	3,743	9	The distribution of growth between these villages would be dependent on a range of factors including availability of sites, location, access to services and deliverability.
New Settlement			500	500	1	A new settlement in a transport corridor
Totals	35,665	3,900	3,300	42,865
Totals	35,665	7,200		42,865

Option 6 Dispersal plus Urban Growth

The majority of the plan's housing requirement to 2036 is already committed. The total requirement for new allocations is 7,200. In order to ensure that urban brownfield sites are maximised and rural needs are addressed, all options include a "baseline position" which provides for 3,900 homes. Therefore there are sites for 3,300 further dwellings to find. Option 6 provides higher levels of dispersal to villages while putting significant growth in the Norwich fringe parishes, particularly in the north east and the west fringe.

	Commitment	Baseline	Option 6	Total	Growth %	Distribution of growth option
Norwich	6,999	1,500		8,499	20	The current figure of 1,500 homes in the baseline aims to maximise growth on brownfield sites in the urban area whilst retaining sites for employment, town centre and open space uses. It will be kept under review as the plan is progressed.
Fringe Sectors	21,381	200	1,900	23,481	55	Around: 1,000 homes in the north east; 200 in the north and north west; 500 in the west; 200 in the south west.
Main Towns	5,468	550	150	6,168	14	The option's 150 homes would be likely to be distributed to Wymondham, Diss and possibly Harleston.
KSCs	674	450	150	1,274	3	The large majority of the option's 400 homes would be likely to be distributed to the KSCs in South Norfolk (Loddon, Hingham and Poringland).
Service and Other Villages or Village Groups	1,143	1,200	1,100	3,443	8	The distribution of growth between these villages would be dependent on a range of factors including availability of sites, location, access to services and deliverability.
Totals	35,665	3,900	3,300	42,865
Totals	35,665	7,200		42,865
