Representation Summary:

GNLP Part 1 The Strategy Appendix 1 – Infrastructure Requirements is in general very limited in its commitment to provide infrastructure to support the housing
numbers allocated, with NO commitment to Hingham stipulated.

During the Regulation 18C consultation Hingham Town Council submitted representations to POLICY 4 - STRATEGIC INFRASTRUCTURE (see evidence 6a), There is no evidence to show that these representations have been given consideration.

With specific reference to Hingham, no infrastructure needs have been identified within the GNLP, despite the cumulative impact of development within the town
over the past decades and the extensive development in the nearby Breckland area.

Change suggested by respondent:

Duty to Co-operate needs to be fulfilled in terms of a full and proper appraisal of Hingham to enable sustainable development, including improvements to
infrastructure and services. This should include a commitment to improving the Library and inclusion of any results of the NCC Parish Partnership Scheme study,
that identifies a feasible solution to improving junction safety at the Attenborough Rd/Dereham Rd/B1108 Fairland crossroads and the inclusion of a pedestrian
priority crossing point that will best serve all residents of Hingham, therefore giving value to the £10,000 investment already made (50/50 Hingham Town
Council and NCC)

With regard to housing numbers a maximum housing allocation should be set for each allocated site, to ensure aggressive development doesn’t take place and
appropriate densities are not disregarded.
