The Greater Norwich Local Plan, Interim Viability Study, prepared by NPS Group (November 2019), only covers mainstream residential development, and not UEA related academic development or purpose-built student accommodation.
Notwithstanding this, the UEA are confident that the delivery of GNLP0133-B, GNLP0133-C, GNLP0133-D, GNLP0133-ER and GNLP0140-C are viable, having regards to the policy requirements of the draft GNLP, alongside no factors that UEA are aware of, at this moment in time, which could prevent delivery of these sites. However, given the duration of the plan period, it is important that there is sufficient flexibility within the plan to re-visit the viability of development projects/sites as they come forward and to reflect any changes in circumstances which could question the viability of fulfilling all policy requirements set out within the plan.
