Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy
Representation ID: 20931

Respondent: Bunwell Parish Council
We do not accept that the basis for Village Clusters should be primary schools. A village strategy should satisfy the housing needs for all generations. Norfolk villages have different attractions and benefits and is why many people chose to live in a certain village or a certain part of a village. Many families dislike block development, so why is GNLP/SNC adopting a single site approach for Clusters? A development convenient to a school doesn’t guarantee a young family purchase or a walk to school. All village sites submitted should be considered on their own merit and a quality decision made.
