Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 22393

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Norwich Green Party

Representation Summary:

Object to providing 9% more homes than needed and identifying two 'contingency' locations, especially if windfalls are to be discounted (and we object to this also). The Plan should ensure delivery of JCS allocations before developing new sites allocated in GNLP.

Object to small scale growth in villages as development dispersal would have large adverse impact on carbon emissions. No evidence to show that dispersal would support village services. Norfolk CC allowed extensive housebuilding in villages in 1970s and this increased car commuting whilst not protecting services. All new development should be concentrated in or close to Norwich or in towns with rail connections.
