Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 22697

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Strutt & Parker LLP

Representation Summary:

[On behalf of Scott Properties Ltd]
30. Policy 1: The Sustainable Growth Strategy states that the Plan will be reviewed 5 years after its adoption. At paragraph 33, the NPPF states that Local Plans should be “reviewed to assess whether they need updating at least once every five years” and goes on to state that reviews “should be completed no later than five years after the adoption date of that plan”. As such, it is not considered that Policy 1 is consistent with National Policy and this needs to be made more clear, stating that a review will be undertaken within five years of adoption or in the event housing delivery falls, or housing land supply falls below the annual requirement.
31. In respect of the five-year land supply, as outlined at Policy 1 of the Draft Strategy, the Five-year housing land supply will be calculated across the whole of the three districts comprising Greater Norwich. This approach is supported, however, given the political nature of planning decisions it should be monitored to ensure that all three districts continue to deliver in a proportionate manner.
