Comment
Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy
Representation ID: 20151
Received: 26/02/2020
Respondent: Yvonne Todd
Ref:- Taverham and District areas.
Whichever site/s are chosen by Council, I do hope the following comments are considered first.
When Thorpe Marriott was first approved for development , the local communities of Taverham,Drayton. Etc, were lead to believe that there would be new schools and doctors surgeries. THIS never happened.
Therefore in my opinion if permission (wherever that maybe) is granted, BEFORE the start of house building, YOU AS COUNCIL, should insist that the Schools, Doctors Surgery and any other public services, be built first. This way guaranteeing that they are In place for all new comers to the area.
We are all well aware of the existing Doctors and Schools are already chock-a-block, no way, will they be able to cope with the proposed 1400 houses, resulting in 3000 plus, extra people. Neither Drayton or Taverham Doctors have land available around the exsisting surgeries , if they had, maybe those could have been enlarged .
We can all promise things, words mean nothing unless carried out, that then makes the promise right.
