Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 20040

Received: 21/02/2020

Respondent: Mr John Leech

Representation Summary:

I have 2 issues relating to what is not covered in the report.
1 there has for many years been a desperate shortage of 3 bedroom detached bungalows in the Taverham Drayton area...none are currently being built.
2 there are too many sites with planning permission which are not being built out by the builders who own the land. This creates a housing shortage, forcing up prices and increasing the book value of building companies, whilst defying the need for housing to be built...permissions should be conditional on a build by date, and on building the type of properties needed
