Within the draft plan the concept of 'village clusters' is not explained and the reader is left to assume that this concept has some planning precedent. The terms do not appear in the Joint Core Strategy (adopted in 2011) and, judging by the withdrawal of South Norfolk from the village clustering part of the plan, the concept arrived 'oven ready' at a very late stage in the GNLP process. Our view is that this approach has rendered the GNLP growth strategy seriously flawed.
