Respondent: Hingham Town Council
Legally compliant? No
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? No
The GNLP process has not been a platform for local people to shape their surroundings and effective engagement between plan-makers and communities has not taken place (effective engagement should surely result in proper consideration of representations and measures undertaken to effect resolution of issues raised).
This is contrary to NPPF 3 – Plan Making
The South Norfolk Council Statement of Community Involvement has not been adhered to, therefore the GNLP is not legally compliant.
Please see the document :

GNLP SHOULD NOT BE ADOPTED IN ITS CURRENT FORM
Removal of site GNLP0503 from the GNLP in accordance with the landowners wishes.
Removal of GNLP0503 due to undeliverability of the site due to the caveat ….” subject to provision of a safe access and a continuous footway at the west side of
Dereham Road from the site access to Pottles Alley”.
Removal of the 20 dwellings from the housing numbers specified for Hingham/Reconsider the housing numbers allocated for Hingham/Reconsult to allow for an
alternative site to come forward.
AND
GNLP SHOULD NOT BE ADOPTED
Proper regard should be given to the representations made in opposition to GNLP0520 being allocated for development, especially with regard to flooding issues,
potential impact on historical heritage, the protection of valued landscape, the adequacy of footway links and proximity to ALL of the towns facilities.
GNLP0520 should be removed from the plan.
Reconsider the housing numbers allocated for Hingham/Reconsult to allow for an alternative site to come forward and for representations to be made.
Consideration MUST be given to if a site would provide a benefit alongside the proposed housing development, and if it would enable opportunity to achieve the
aspirations of the community/town council for “future proofing” Hingham to be able to provide facilities to a growing community.
Allocations of any sites should be based on firm evidence that proposals made in order to mitigate, are actually feasible and achievable.
