The Delivery Statement for Housing includes that “Additional opportunities will be provided, particularly for small scale growth at villages and on small brownfield sites across Greater Norwich, through windfall development.”

The additional opportunities need to be clarified in relation to small-scale housing at villages and windfall sites. We discuss this further under policy 7.5 below, but raise here that sites on the edges of villages should be encouraged, in order to ensure ongoing vitality and viability of village life whilst not undermining the wider spatial strategy. We consider that arbitrary numeric restrictions on housing should be replaced by policy wording that relates to the character and appearance of the locality of such sites.
