We support the general strategy which seeks to distribute housing growth in line with a settlement hierarchy of:
1) The Norwich urban area
2) The main towns
3) The key service centres
4) Village clusters
As stated in policy 1 "The distribution of development in the plan tends to focus more growth higher up the hierarchy maximising the use of brownfield land and providing for urban extensions close to existing Jobs services and infrastructure" This approach is most likely to achieve the sustainable development required by the NPPF.
