Point 120, in practice, increased housing and population is leading to inner city wilderness NOT “lively and vibrant city and district centres”
Norwich and norfolk have a lively and vibrant city centre now and many of the outlying towns also (eg Sheringham, Reepham) please don’t seek to “fix something not broken! The towns that are losing their vibrant identity are those plagued by doughnut development eg Stalham High Street which should be the heart of its community has been destroyed by the development of the supermarket on its fringes, a scenario which has played out all over the UK now.
