We support the approach to housing set out in the Delivery Statement. We would raise a query as to what will be considered as a “reasonable prospect of delivery”, this is particularly pertinent for those allocations proposed to be carried forward, some of which were carried forward from the 2004 Plan, which as yet remain undelivered.
The proposed new settlement Honingham Thorpe would deliver significant housing numbers together with jobs and on site infrastructure to create a truly sustainable community. The relationship of the site with the Food Enterprise Park would support a key growth area and the emerging agri-tech corridor, creating a holistic and mutually supportive relationship between the new community, the Food Enterprise Park, Easton College, Norwich Research Park and the UEA.
Clarion, as the country’s largest housing association and one of the country’s leading developers, are well placed to deliver, and have experience on a number of large joint venture schemes. A suite of technical information has been gathered by the comprehensive technical team of local consultants and Clarion’s own dedicated internal team to assess the site and ensure deliverability.
