Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 20419

Received: 05/03/2020

Respondent: Mr Andrew Driver

Representation Summary:

1) Any new housing must be totally environmentally sustainable i.e. solar panels, full insulation, grey water capture - and no new houses should be built to below this standard.
2) Any additional housing should be social i.e. council or public. There is no need for further private housing.
3) The housing already notionally allocated should be built before any new sites should be called for.
4) The figures on which the additional housing is proposed are questionable & incorrect. Housing growth will not be as great as projected (you are using out of date government criteria).
5) Any new developments must have infrastructure - schools, GPs, community facilities - in place before the building starts - not afterwards.
6) Developers should not be allowed to reduce percentage of affordable homes in any new development.
7) South Norfolk are disingenuous in not showing their plans as part of this plan.
8) Public transport in Norfolk in rural areas is not good enough to support any developments in villages in south Norfolk. This needs solving before any new development takes place.
8) Public transport in Norfolk in rural areas is not good enough to support any developments in villages in South Norfolk. This needs solving before any new development takes place.
9) Development should be near employment not scattered across rural areas.
