Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 20968

Received: 14/03/2020

Respondent: Mr Andrew Cawdron

Representation Summary:

In the first instance I do not consider that the level of "growth" proposed is sustainable for us or the future generations. Continuing to march on heads down with the same acceptance of "growth" as desirable above everything else is not sustainable. The location of development Policies 1 and 7 place suburbia 3 miles and more from the City Centre demanding transport journeys for work and leisure. Increasing the population of Towns and Villages places even more people on the move. Our private bus companies are inadequate now. Adding another 100,000 people will only further break the systems.
