Comment objects to site being reasonable
3.9 Two of the Reasonable Alternatives are far in excess of the size required for 1,000 dwellings;
GNLP1055, land west of Hethel and GNLP2168, land at Park Farm. Both are being promoted as
garden villages and would each accommodate in the region of 6,500 new dwellings. The
commentary in the draft GNLP acknowledges this and states that as no new settlement is currently
being proposed in this Plan then these two sites are reasonable alternatives for consideration
through a future review of the Plan. Given that additional housing will be required in the future this
is a sensible strategic approach for the period beyond 2038. Neither of these sites therefore meet
the contingency need and should not be considered as Reasonable Alternatives.
On behalf of Welbeck Strategic Land III LLP, we are instructed to submit representations to the draft Greater Norwich Local Plan Regulation 18 (c) consultation. The representations are split into two, reflecting the two parts of the Greater Norwich Local Plan; the Strategy Document and the Sites Plan.
