Comment

Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 21483

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Bergh Apton Parish Council

Representation Summary:

We are pleased that the greater part of the new GNLP developments will be in the Norwich area. Fortunately, Norwich has many brownfield sites available. Even more important, Norwich has the infrastructure and services to support development. For example; hospitals, universities, research parks, good schools, museums, entertainment facilities, public transport and so on.
It is, therefore, of concern that South Norfolk are proposing 1200 additional dwellings by providing for estate development throughout the village clusters as well as an extra 400 small scale windfall houses. These would be in addition to the 1349 dwellings already allocated and would overwhelm infrastructure.
