Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 20756

Received: 12/03/2020

Respondent: Mr Andrew Cawdron

Representation Summary:

Para 33 and population growth. Do we have to accept this as a model? it is unclear as to how a projected population growth of 46,000 persons requires 44,500 dwellings at an occupancy of 1.1 while searching for 33,000 new jobs.
Para 65 claims "historically relatively poor strategic infrastructure links limited growth in the area" Is this a proven accurate and factual statement or anecdotal? Midland and Northern cities are often very well startegically connected but have suffered worse decline.
Para 99. Add Wensum and Tud rivers.
Para 104 and 106. Why build over water stressed quality land ?
