Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 21358

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Lanpro Services

Agent: Stephen Flynn

Representation Summary:

Lanpro support the delivery of strategic infrastructure in a timely manner. This is essential to support delivery of proposed housing and employment growth. Delivery of necessary infrastructure to support dispersal of housing growth to small rural village clusters will, however, be difficult and expensive. The ability of small schemes to fund the provision of on-site services and facilities and to support local infrastructure capacity improvements through land provision and developer contributions is limited. Therefore, significant dispersal of housing growth to small rural clusters should not form part of the growth strategy (see our answer to Question 13).
