This site is identified for a garden village to the south of Wymondham for 6,500 dwellings. It is requested that this site is deleted as a reasonable alternative site for a new settlement for exactly the same reasons as the proposed garden village at West of Hethel (Ref. GNLP1055) i.e. uncertain delivery timetable and unlikely delivery of policy compliant levels of affordable housing.
It is clear that this site is not being considered for allocation in the emerging GNLP, and therefore it requested that this site is deleted as a reasonable alternative site.

I object to this reasonable alternative although it is not proposed to include a new settlement at the present time. Park Farm is an ancient deer park, Lower Park Farm is moated and was an ancient hunting lodge. It is a historical site and Norfolk Wildlife Trust object to this site for inclusion in the Plan due to irreplaceable loss of ancient woodland and agricultural land and strongly recommend that the site is removed from the Plan.

Comment objects to site being reasonable
3.9 Two of the Reasonable Alternatives are far in excess of the size required for 1,000 dwellings;
GNLP1055, land west of Hethel and GNLP2168, land at Park Farm. Both are being promoted as
garden villages and would each accommodate in the region of 6,500 new dwellings. The
commentary in the draft GNLP acknowledges this and states that as no new settlement is currently
being proposed in this Plan then these two sites are reasonable alternatives for consideration
through a future review of the Plan. Given that additional housing will be required in the future this
is a sensible strategic approach for the period beyond 2038. Neither of these sites therefore meet
the contingency need and should not be considered as Reasonable Alternatives.
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.

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).
GNLP2168
This site allocation lies mainly in Flood Zone 1, with a corridor of Flood Zones 2 and 3 towards the south-western boundary of the site, along the Bays River. The flood zone in this location is JFlow so is not accurately modelled. The development must be sequentially sited to avoid developing within this small strip of flood zone, and the flood zone left open as flood storage. If any development is to be located within this flood zone then the river will need to be accurately modelled to determine the precise flood outlines and flood levels. The development will then need to be designed to be safe and not increase flood risk elsewhere, as detailed above. This should also be mentioned within the site allocation.

In the absence of this re-assessment of the new settlement proposals consistently with one another as well as the other ‘reasonable alternatives’, we have serious reservations as to the soundness of the GNLP Sites Document and its likely success at Examination.
