Representation Summary:

3.1 On behalf of M Scott Properties Ltd (Scott Properties), we strongly support the preferred allocation of GNLP0337 (the Site), Land between Fir Covert Road & Reepham Road, Taverham. The Site is entirely deliverable, and capable of making a significant contribution towards satisfying the Councils’ housing needs during the period to 2038.
3.2 GNLP0337, which covers an area of approximately 78ha., has been identified in the draft GNLP as a preferred allocation for at least 1,400 homes, together with associated public open space, primary school and local medical centre.
3.3 In accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework’s (NPPF) definition of ‘deliverable’, the proposed allocation represents a suitable location for development now, is available immediately, is achievable with a realistic prospect of housing being delivered on the site, and is viable. This is considered in further detail below by way of an Assessment of Delivery. The Assessment has been informed by a substantial amount of technical work, as well as discussions with a variety of key stakeholders, including Broadland District Council, Norfolk County Council (Highways and Education) and Taverham Parish Council. The work undertaken to date is covered in more detail in the Breck Farm Delivery Statement prepared by Scott Properties and submitted in support of this representation (See Appendix 1)
