Respondent: Marlingford and Colton Parish Council
Phasing for the new housing sites is essential and any new sites should be placed on a reserve list and only used after the existing JCS sites. The current strategy invites land banking and cherry picking by developers.
It is arguable that Norfolk already has an excess of approved sites, many in entirely the wrong locations to allow sustainable and environmentally sound growth. The 'village clusters' concept is unsound and based on erroneous assumptions of existing infrastructure and future use.
