Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy
Representation ID: 20263
Received: 03/03/2020
Respondent: Brockdish & Thorpe Abbotts Parish Council
We support the CPRE in challenging the 2014 household projections: 2016 projections to be adopted. Windfall sites must be taken into account when calculating new site requirements. Over-allocating housing sites and allowing land owners/builders to decide if, when and where housing takes place (SNDC acknowledge this is the case) local authorities lose control. (a) There can be no effective coordination of infrastructure provision. A sustainable plan cannot be followed (b) there can be no link between housing need and access for those in need to housing built. "Affordable Housing" is not effective in addressing the most serious need.
