The proposed Settlement Hierarchy and the identification of Norwich and the Urban Fringe as the location to accommodate 66% of the housing growth during the period to 2038 is strongly supported.
Norwich and the Urban Fringe is the catalyst for economic growth in the area and provides a range of amenities, services and infrastructure to support sustainable housing.
The Urban Fringe will play a significant role in providing sustainable growth, given their proximity to employment opportunities, services and strategic infrastructure, such as Broadland Northway. In addition, by virtue of its location, the fringe parishes are in close proximity of the countryside providing ease of access to the leisure and recreation opportunities it provides.
This approach is entirely consistent with paragraph 72 of the NPPF, which advises that “The supply of large numbers of new homes can often be best achieved through planning for larger scale development, such as new settlements or significant extensions to existing villages and towns, provided that they are well located and designed and supported by the necessary infrastructure and facilities.”
Taverham represents an excellent location with good access to Norwich, that has been significantly enhanced by the recent delivery of the Broadland Northway.
Taverham benefits from a variety of amenities including a public house, a supermarket, takeaways, petrol filling station and a garden centre. In addition, the area is within close proximity of the amenities provided within Thorpe Marriott and Drayton. Nightingale and Ghost Hill Infant schools are located in close proximity of the site, as are Taverham Junior and High Schools. A private school (Langley Preparatory School at Taverham Hall) is located nearby. These will be sustained and enhanced by the increased population proposed.
