Under the banner of “growth” rural areas are being threatened everywnere and now climate change is a real and present threat “sustainibility” should become more important. The impact this development will have on wildlife, also on footpath and bridleway use for the local community is severe. The two schools and sixth form college are already over subscribed as is the doctor. Urban outreach through keeping of pets, notably domestic cats, more cars in rural areas, increases pollution and makes our rural roads unsafe for cyclists equestrians and pedestrians. Any new houses should be using the best eco technology and materials

Our comments below relate to specific ecological concerns regarding allocations. In addition to the protection provided in Policy 2, we recommend that specific wording is included in the allocation policies to ensure they are properly addressed at the planning application stage. Any applications in proximity to known wildlife sites (as set out in Table 4), as well as irreplaceable habitats such as ancient woodland, and priority habitats (as set out in the NERC Act 2016) should be accompanied by an ecological appraisal, with provision of biodiversity net gain and sufficient buffering and safeguarding space secured between the development and the wildlife site in perpetuity (potentially also delivering contributions to green infrastructure).
REP1 – this site is adjacent to Broomhill Meadows CWS, a wet grassland site reliant on local groundwater conditions. Any application should be accompanied by an ecological appraisal including an evaluation of drainage impacts on the adjacent CWS.
Thank you for consulting Norfolk Wildlife Trust on the draft Greater Norwich Local Plan. We have attempted to comment wherever possible in response to the questions set out in the consultation, but have a number of comments which cover multiple policies or supporting documents and so have compiled our comments in this letter.

The attached text demonstrates the suitability of carrying REP1 forward, alongside amending REP1 to reflect the increased quantum of development and revised location of the sports hall. Therefore, this specific site is a suitable location for further development, and Lovell Homes supports the GNLP’s proposals to carry forward the existing allocation of REP1.
Please see attached for full submission
On behalf of Lovell Partnerships Limited (Lovell), Reepham High School and the landowner (Robert & Rita
Buxton), we strongly support carrying forward the existing allocation of REP1, Land off Broomhill Lane,
Reepham, subject to various amendments. The site is, subject to the changes sought, entirely deliverable,
and capable of making a significant contribution towards satisfying the Councils’ housing needs during the
period to 2038.
This representation seeks amendments to draft Policy REP1 to reflect the planning application being
prepared by Lovell and the landowner.
