Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 21346

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Reedham Parish Council

Representation Summary:

How does housing development in "Village Cluster" ensure 'safe, convenient and sustainable access to local services and facilities' which are lacking in most villages?
There is no joined up thinking between the "Village Cluster" concept and the aspiration to 'manage travel demands and promote public transport'. Most villages have limited or no public transport.
"Village Clusters" are not where the jobs and services are which will therefore increase the car journeys required to access these. This does not correlate to 'minimising pollution'.
