This large site on land to the north of Norwich Road, Salhouse is being promoted as a strategic housing site delivering circa. 90 dwellings. The site has been previously promoted through the emerging Greater Norwich Local Plan and assigned the reference GNLP0487. The promoted
scheme is further designed to enable delivery of the new 7ha Salhouse Country Park to meet existing green infrastructure deficiencies in this part of the Norwich Policy Area.
The site is located on the northern edge of the Growth Triangle that is main focus for new housing
growth within the Broadland District part of the Norwich Policy Area. This part of the Norwich
Policy Area is particularly sensitive due to the proximity of The Broads. Specific parts of The Broads within this part of the Norwich Policy Area are designated Site of Special Scientific Interest, Special Protection Area, Environmentally Sensitive Area, National Nature Reserve and Ramsar. The new Country Park proposed is sufficiently large and can be made attractive for recreation and
leisure to be a realistic alternative to visiting The Broads.
As such the mixed‐use scheme proposed is highly sustainable as it will deliver net environmental
gains for nature and improve public health and community wellbeing within the Growth Triangle
area.
