Far too much development already in this area. 2019/0184 - land north of Carpenters Barn has recently been refused. This would exacerbate the urban sprawl and contribute to landscape harm in Norwich Common. Does not accord with the WAAP, to maintain the open land between Wymondham and Hethersett, loss of habitat for wildlife and loss of open spaces.

Comment objects to site being reasonable
3.7 Two of the identified Reasonable Alternatives sites are too small to accommodate the 1,000
dwelling contingency required; GNLP2150, land east of Carpenter Barn and GNLP2155, land west
of Carpenter Close. These are 6.5ha and 3.4ha and could only accommodate around 150 and 80
dwellings respectively which falls far short of the 1,000 dwellings required. In addition, because of
their size they would not deliver the infrastructure improvements necessary to support the
additional and existing housing required and they would both represent incremental growth rather
than a well-planned strategic contingency for Wymondham.
3.8 Whilst the commentary in the draft GNLP recognises that the sites are well located in terms of
access to services, both sites would need to form part of a comprehensive extension in this area
with associated infrastructure improvements. Neither site could deliver the necessary infrastructure
improvements particularly in terms of a new primary school. In addition, last month (February 2020)
a planning application (Ref: 2019/0184) for site GNLP2150 was refused by South Norfolk Council
due to there being no overriding benefits when having regard to the significant harm identified in
respect of the landscape and the Policy harm in allowing unplanned development in a plan led
system. For these reasons neither site meets the contingency need and are not considered,
therefore, to represent a site that should be considered further.
On behalf of Welbeck Strategic Land III LLP, we are instructed to submit representations to the draft Greater Norwich Local Plan Regulation 18 (c) consultation. The representations are split into two, reflecting the two parts of the Greater Norwich Local Plan; the Strategy Document and the Sites Plan.
