On behalf of our clients University of East Anglia, we support the proposed allocation of Policy GNLP0133-C – Land North of Cow Drive, within the Pre-Submission (Reg 19) Joint Local Plan.
Delivery of the site within the Plan period to 2038 is achievable, and the site remains suitable, available, achievable and viable for the following reasons:
Suitable
The identification of the site as a preferred allocation will help to support the expansion of the UEA, alongside sustaining and enhancing the valuable role which the UEA holds for Norwich and the wider context. The UEA are fully committed to development on this site, and view it as an integral part of meeting the UEA’s future growth requirements.
Available
The site, in its entirety, is owned by the UEA, and there are no leases or restrictive covenants on the site. The availability of the site has been demonstrated by the extant planning consent on the site. Consequently, the site is readily available for development
Achievable
Based on the suitability assessment above, there are no site-specific constraints which could preclude the delivery of student accommodation on the site. In addition the achievability of the site has been demonstrated by the extant planning consent on the site. Therefore, the development of student accommodation on the site is deemed to be entirely achievable.
Viable
We are confident that the delivery of the site is viable having regard to the policy requirements of the draft GNLP and there are no factors that we are aware of, at this moment in time, that could prevent the delivery of the site. The viability of development on the site has been demonstrated by Phase 1 (Blocks A and B), which have been completed on the site.
