It should be ensured that the strategy, and all carried forward and new allocations protect and enhance the special characteristics of not only the Greater Norwich area, but the County and Region as a whole. In order to meet the challenges of climate change it is vital to protect designated and non-designated sites, valued landscapes and biodiversity.
The defining elements of the spatial profile need to be considered collectively, not in isolation from one another, both in the strategy and on the individual sites. The Plan provides the opportunity for a comprehensive programme of real change for the better within the Greater Norwich area.
