Full text:

This site is identified for a strategic extension on the north eastern edge of Wymondham for 1,500 dwellings. It is identified as a reasonable alternative housing allocation and as a contingency site for Wymondham to offset non-delivery. The lead-in times for these types of developments are typically more than 5 years, largely because they are complex and require significant levels of primary infrastructure to be provided e.g. roads and drainage in advance of housing. Therefore, it is very unlikely that this strategic extension would be delivered quickly enough to address non-delivery of housing at existing commitments and allocations. As such, this site does not meet the requirements for a contingency site, and should not be identified as a reasonable alternative in the emerging GNLP.

The site is located within the strategic gap between Wymondham and Hethersett, and development in this location would reduce that gap and lead to coalescence of the settlements, which would be contrary to the purpose of this landscape designation. It is considered that development in this location would have an impact on the landscape setting of the town. As set out in the commentary on the findings of the site assessments of this site, the landscape impact of development at this site in the Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment should be scored ‘red’, and in the Sustainability Appraisal should be identified as ‘major adverse’. For these reasons the site should not have been identified as a reasonable alternative for housing. In addition, the site is not well-related to the town centre.

It is requested that this site is deleted as a reasonable alternative housing allocation.

Representation Summary:

The company objects to the inclusion of the land owned by Elm Farm Properties Ltd within the proposed allocation. The company has not been approached about or agreed to the inclusion of any of their land within the allocation. That said, the company supports the remainder of the site being considered as a reasonable alternative. A Plan showing the extent of the land owned by Elm farm Properties Ltd is attached.

Further to my earlier reps on site GNLP0525R and to discussions with your officers I wish to draw attention to the land coloured green on the consultation plan in so far as it affects my client's land as shown on the attached plan. Given that the Wymondham Rugby Club has now relocated the need for the green notation on my client's land to reflect AAP Policy WYM14 no longer applies and I ask that it be removed from the emerging local plan.

Respondent: Welbeck Strategic Land III LLP

Representation Summary:

Comment objects to site being reasonable at this time
3.11 GNLP0525R is located to the east of site GNLP0006. As a result it is, when compared with
GNLP0006, more detached from the Settlement Boundary, as well as being more remote from all
of Wymondham’s services. Therefore, sequentially it would not logically be the next site to be
allocated and in any case it could not be allocated before GNLP0006 as it relies on that site’s
delivery first. Accordingly, GNLP0525R should only be considered suitable for development once
GNLP0006 has been developed. Notwithstanding this, the illustrative masterplan for site
GNLP0006 has been prepared to ensure that it would not prejudice the ability of site GNLP0525R
to come forward at a later date.

Representation Summary:

Wymondham area site allocations
Site allocations around Wymondham (GNLP2168, GNLP0525R, GNLP3013, GNLP0006, GNLP0515, GNLP1055) are all in the headwaters of the River Tiffey and its tributaries, the land allocations are adjacent to the streams. The Tiffey is a chalk stream NERC s41 habitat of conservation importance. We are currently working on several projects to improve the River Tiffey to good WFD status e.g. fish passage and habitat restoration. The developments must not compromise this. There must be a buffer between developed land (including gardens) and the river of 20 metres. A WFD compliance assessment must be undertaken to assess the impacts on the water environment, including but not limited to water quality of run off. We would welcome partnership working opportunities from any development to improve riparian habitats via Broadland Catchment Partnership (NPPF 174).
