Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 21312

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Lanpro Services

Agent: Stephen Flynn

Representation Summary:

Lanpro support the delivery of transport improvements and particularly improvements to facilitate public transport, walking and cycling in a timely manner. This is essential to support delivery of proposed housing and employment growth. Delivery of necessary infrastructure to support significant dispersal of housing growth to small rural village clusters will, however, be difficult and expensive. Small schemes may have limited ability to fund or provide both on and off-site transport improvements through land provision and developer contributions. Therefore, significant dispersal of housing growth to small rural clusters should not form part of the growth strategy (see our response to Q.13).
