Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 20379

Received: 05/03/2020

Respondent: Wroxham Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Wroxham Parish Council wholeheartedly agrees with the GNLP findings that this would be an unreasonable site for development. Given the current severe lack of community infrastructure in the village a further 100 homes would merely add to pressures on medical facilities, schools and recreational sites. It would further add pressure on roads including the A1151 which is often gridlocked during the summer months. Additionally this site is close to an Article 4 Direction Conservation Zone and its proximity to this and the Broads make it an unreasonable site for development and would risk destroying the very character of the village.

Hopkins Homes’ land south of Wherry Gardens, Wroxham presents a logical and sustainable location for new housing provision and meets the tests of soundness set out in the NPPF. There are no constraints which would preclude development in this location and further details on the site and a response technical issues raised in the Council's evidence base are provided on the attached.
