Sustainability Appraisal and Strategic Environmental Assessment of the Greater Norwich Local Plan (Jan 2020)

Park Farm

Park Farm has not been assessed in the Sustainability Appraisal. However, we make the following points:

Objective 11 – Economy. Development proposals which would result in a net increase in employment floorspace would be expected to have a major positive impact on the local economy.

Objective 14 – Natural Resources, Waste and Contaminated Land. In accordance with the core planning principles of the NPPF, development on previously developed land will be recognised as an efficient use of land. Development of previously undeveloped land and greenfield sites is not considered to be an efficient use of land, but there are wider considerations as to the appropriate use of greenfield sites. Development of an existing brownfield site would be expected to contribute positively to safeguarding greenfield land in Greater Norwich and have a minor positive impact on this objective.
