Respondent: Mulbarton Parish Council

The document states that ‘this plan also provides choice and flexibility by ensuring there are enough committed sites to accommodate 9% more homes than “need”.’ MPC disagree that such a high number of sites should be provided within the GNLP In addition, by proposing not to include windfalls in the buffer the over-allocation of unnecessary housing will be increased further.
It is very disappointing that there is no mention of phasing as an option within the Draft Plan and Housing Delivery Statement, as this would help to prevent the worst excesses of unnecessary development. 69 Parish and Town Councils in Broadland and South Norfolk (over 38%) have supported CPRE Norfolk on this issue and have signed a pledge to this effect. With this groundswell of grassroots opinion making such a strong case, MPC urge the GNDP in producing the GNLP to consider phasing seriously as the most reasonable way forward.
