Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 20059

Received: 23/02/2020

Respondent: Mr Norman Castleton

Representation Summary:

Development
There is far too much development proposed on green field and village sites. The services have not and will not keep pace with this and the environmental impact will eventually be catastrophic. The current housing developments on the edge of the city, towns and villages is pretty awful. Insensitive to landscape and area. Note the work of Taylor & Green for the Rural & Urban District councils in the 1960s which would be a good example to follow e.g. Hopkins homes are the same wherever built, in the city or in a field.
