Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 20983

Received: 14/03/2020

Respondent: Mr Andrew Cawdron

Representation Summary:

It is small surprise that the Schools Strike over Climate change gains momentum, when the Greater Norwich Local Plan focuses so relentlessly on Growth at all Costs, without acknowledging the real implications and that "mitigation" provides an insult to what has been lost. A 27% brownfield target, the impact of 73% loss to the countryside surrounding the City, Towns and Villages is already being seen. Worse, the disconnect between these developments and their surrounds is evident from Hoveton to Cringleford. And then, the plan states we need to look ahead for more of the same. Unimaginative, Unsustainable, Undesirable, Destructive.
