There is existing water mains within the boundary of the site. We would ask that this be considered as part of the site design and layout to ensure that we can continue to serve our customers. In the event that there is a need to divert our existing assets a formal application to Anglian Water would be required.
Add new paragraph to supporting text to read:
There are existing water mains in Anglian Water’s ownership within the boundary of the site and the site layout should be designed to take these into account. This existing infrastructure is protected by easements and should not be built over or located in private gardens where access for maintenance and repair could be restricted. The existing water mains should be located in highways or public open space. If this is not possible a formal application to divert Anglian Water’s existing assets may be required.’
Add new criterion to Policy GNLP0133C:
‘the safeguarding of suitable access for the maintenance of water supply infrastructure.’

On behalf of our clients University of East Anglia, we support the proposed allocation of Policy GNLP0133-C – Land North of Cow Drive, within the Pre-Submission (Reg 19) Joint Local Plan.
Delivery of the site within the Plan period to 2038 is achievable, and the site remains suitable, available, achievable and viable for the following reasons:
Suitable
The identification of the site as a preferred allocation will help to support the expansion of the UEA, alongside sustaining and enhancing the valuable role which the UEA holds for Norwich and the wider context. The UEA are fully committed to development on this site, and view it as an integral part of meeting the UEA’s future growth requirements.
Available
The site, in its entirety, is owned by the UEA, and there are no leases or restrictive covenants on the site. The availability of the site has been demonstrated by the extant planning consent on the site. Consequently, the site is readily available for development
Achievable
Based on the suitability assessment above, there are no site-specific constraints which could preclude the delivery of student accommodation on the site. In addition the achievability of the site has been demonstrated by the extant planning consent on the site. Therefore, the development of student accommodation on the site is deemed to be entirely achievable.
Viable
We are confident that the delivery of the site is viable having regard to the policy requirements of the draft GNLP and there are no factors that we are aware of, at this moment in time, that could prevent the delivery of the site. The viability of development on the site has been demonstrated by Phase 1 (Blocks A and B), which have been completed on the site.
