Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 21694

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Mrs Elaine Parkinson

Representation Summary:

The amount of housing especially in South Norfolk is too much. By definition the housing will be on greenfield sites, further reducing arable land and amenity of the countryside. This attempt through the GNLP to remove the protection of 'other villages' from the JCS by joining villages up to create larger and larger communities without any infrastructure is unfortunate and misplaced. One of the things Norfolk is known for are the unspoilt villages and countryside, this will be lost as more and more space is taken up in the name of 'economic development'
