Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 22695

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Strutt & Parker LLP

Representation Summary:

[On behalf of Scott Properties Ltd]
19. The preferred option for the Local Plan combines the concentration of the majority of development in and around Norwich and on the Cambridge to Norwich Tech Corridor, a large focus on market towns, with an element of dispersal to villages. This approach is supported and provides a balance across a range of the objectives of the Local Plan.
20. This approach would see housing commitments providing a total minimum deliverable commitment of 6,342 within the Main Towns over Plan period of 2018 – 2038.
21. The settlement hierarchy’s recognition of the contribution that the Main Towns like Harleston make to the delivery of housing is acknowledged and supported. While it is acknowledged that Norwich should be the principal focus growth, the market towns have an important role in creating a vibrant sub-region, and in the case of Harleston, serve wide hinterlands from which people are drawn to use the town’s shops, services, and facilities, including both primary and secondary schooling.
