Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 21349

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Reedham Parish Council

Representation Summary:

The concept of " Village Clusters" appears to be entirely invented to justify the dispersal of housing into the countryside. It is a change from the settlement hierarchy in the JCS that is not explained.
Why are the "Village Clusters" in Broadland being treated differently from those in South Norfolk? This seems grossly unfair to both areas.
Why are a range of sustainability measures not being used to calculate the level of housing required in the "Village Clusters" over and above the current one that solely uses the availability of primary school places.
