Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 21231

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Saving Swainsthorpe Campaign

Representation Summary:

Our campaign does not see why the GNLP draft plan contains such significant increases in targets compared with the JCS (adopted in 2014). The Broadland Northway was supported and funded on the assumption that it would enable significant expansion of housing along the fringes of Norwich and within the designated growth area. These proposals implies massive expansion in housing in Broadland and South Norfolk, this appears at odds with the JCS position and would in effect open up vast tracts of green land for housing. We noted earlier in our responses there is no mention phasing of development.
