Question 43: Key Service Centres 7.3.1 Gladman supports the identification of settlements within this tier of the hierarchy and recognises the need for these locations to take growth in order to meet the local need for housing and encourage growth within the community.
7.3.2 However, it is felt that additional new allocations to some of the locations which do not receive any within the local plan review would be beneficial for both the settlements and the wider plan’s effectiveness. Namely, Poringland/Framingham Earl as the second largest Key Service Centre can accommodate additional levels of growth to boost the housing numbers in this tier and within the settlement. Given its location relative to Norwich and the facilities which are provided for within its confines, Poringland is an excellent candidate for additional growth through this plan despite the number which has already been attributed to it and could help bolster land supply with smaller sites that can demonstrate delivery now.
