Site Proposals document

Representation ID: 19668

Received: 14/12/2018

Respondent: Brown & Co

Representation Summary:

Submitted during Stage B Consultation

Please find attached additional information for GNLP reference GNLP0278, site south of Church Road, Woodton, relating to the Regulation 18 Consultation. Additionally, please find attached the initial Site Plan.

The site has been submitted by the "Call for Sites" undertaken in May/July 2016. In response to the Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) undertaken in December 2017, additional information was provided in the Regulation 18 Consultation in March 2018. The purpose of this submission is to be provided greater clarity on the delivery of this site as part of its contribution to the future growth of Greater Norwich.

The proposal consists of 60 dwellings, of which 40 would be open market houses and 20 would be affordable housing. In addition, it is intended that provision would be made for a village shop with an office above at first floor within the site. The landowner currently runs a farming business adjacent to the site and is keen to run a shop in the village. Outside the site, but in close proximity to the east, the intention is to provide an additional classroom for Woodton Primary School. There would be a pedestrian/cycle link through the site, connecting Woodton Primary School with the rest of the village to the south through the proposed development. It is intended to link through the recently completed development on The Woodyard Square close to the south-east corner of the proposed development. This would provide an off-road route to the school and playing field.

We believe that the site has no significant constraints or impacts which would preclude its delivery. The site is in a single ownership and it is immediately available for development and, therefore, subject to approval being given, can deliver housing within a short timescale. As part of the development, we can provide substantial additional facilities to the village, namely a shop/office, link to the school and playing field, together with potentially funding and expansion of the primary school.

See attachments for details of full submission.
