Representation Summary:

On behalf of the Rampton Property Trust, we strongly support the preferred allocation of GNLP2176, Land North of Dereham Road, Honingham. The site is entirely deliverable, and capable of making a significant contribution towards satisfying the Councils’ housing needs during the period to 2038.
GNLP2176 has been identified as a preferred allocation for at least 12 dwellings, of which 33% will be affordable. It is recognised that more homes may be accommodated on the site, subject to an acceptable design and layout, as well as infrastructure constraints. The preferred allocation recognises that development is expected to achieve vehicular access onto Dereham Road, with a suitability splay and frontage development; provision of a 2.0m footway and carriageway widening to 5.5m; consideration of the Source Protection Zone 3 when developing a drainage strategy; and, a design
and layout which minimises adverse impacts on the nearby heritage assets.

In accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework’s (NPPF) definition of ‘deliverable’, the proposed allocation represents a suitable location for development now, is available immediately, is achievable with a realistic prospect of housing being delivered on the site, and is viable. This, as well the ability to of the site to satisfy the requirement of Policy GNLP2176, is considered in further detail below.
