Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 21652

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Mrs Margaret Mckernon

Representation Summary:

I am grateful that small windfall development has been included. Stage B Regulation 18 Stated “If you wish to promote....a settlement boundary extension.....you should submit representations to this effect in response to the GNLP Regulation 18 draft plan consultation in September... 2019”
That consultation did not occur and I was informed the opportunity would be carried forward to this consultation.
Is 7.5 above a deviation from this scheduled opportunity to review archaic settlement boundaries?This advantages large scale development while not including a clear process as planned for appropriate applications for boundary changes for small scale developments within the consultation .

I am grateful that small windfall development and review of settlement boundaries has been included. However Stage B Regulation 18 Stated “If you wish to promote....a settlement boundary extension.....you should submit representations to this effect in response to the GNLP Regulation 18 draft plan consultation in September 2019”
That consultation did not occur and I was informed the opportunity would be carried forward to this consultation.
Is 7.5 above a deviation from this awaited scheduled opportunity to review archaic settlement boundaries within the plan? If not this would advantage large scale development while not including appropriate applications for boundary changes for small scale developments within the consultation as was previously stated. The number of 3 over such a lengthy period appears restricted compared to the numbers within new developments. The process by which this allocation is made is not specified and left open ended. Is the intention to consider during this consultation still applicable as there is no reference to the previous arrangement being inapplicable. I am submitting further information separately.
