Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy
Representation ID: 21218

Respondent: Saving Swainsthorpe Campaign
The concept of 'village clusters' has the virtue of being novel but the plan seems to assume that it is an accepted concept and has some legitimacy. One this basis it is proposed that additional housing development (very attractive to developers) is permitted without any concomitant infrastructure to support such development. The use of primary school catchment areas as a proxy for sustainability is neither explained or justified and in our view represents a crude measure for planning. The production by SNDC of a separate (possibly unconnected) plan typifies the disjointed approach indicative of this draft plan
