Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 21191

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Hopkins Homes, Persimmon Homes and Taylor Wimpey

Agent: Bidwells

Representation Summary:

We strongly support the proposed allocation of an additional 1200 dwellings (minimum) at White House Farm, Sprowston. The site has previously been demonstrated, through earlier Representations and a Delivery Statement, to be suitable, available and viable for up to 1350 dwellings, and the Consortium have an excellent track-record of delivery in the immediate area. The site is highly sustainable and a logical location for further growth, being well-related to services and employment opportunities. This allocation will provide continuity in delivery for the three housebuilders, and assist in providing an appropriate buffer to safeguard against any potential under-delivery of other sites.
