Site Proposals document

1. Brown & Co act for the landowners, Mr & Mrs J Burridge, in relation to land at Station Road, Pulham St Mary.
2. The following comments are submitted in support of the suggested allocation of the land at Station Road (ref GNDP0430) for housing.
3. It is noted that the site is classified as being suitable for housing development in the Council's Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) 2017. However, a number of technical issues are identified as potential constraints on development, and these issues are addressed below.
Access to services
4. Pulham St Mary is identified in the current Joint Core Strategy as a Service Village. It benefits from a post office and shop, community centre, church and children's play area (see below). In addition to providing a community venue, the Pennoyer Centre provides a café, business meeting space, training courses and social events. The village centre is approximately 380 metres from the proposed development site, and would be readily accessible from it on foot or by bicycle 5. A number of bus services operate on weekdays and Saturdays through the village, providing links to Norwich, Diss, Pulham Market, Long Stratton and Harleston (Konectbus service 83, Semmence & Co service 584 and Simonds service 40). The nearest bus stops to the site are located around 400 metres away in the village centre.
6. Pulham Market is located a short distance to the west of Pulham St Mary and provides a range of other local services, including a primary school, doctors surgery, public houses, shops and church. A dedicated footway/cycleway along Norwich Road provides a safe link between the two villages. Pulham Market Primary School is around 1.7km away from the proposed site, within the maximum recommended walking distance of 2km.
7. Accordingly, it is considered that the proposal development would benefit from good access to local services, and would accord with local and national planning policies which indicate that to promote sustainable development in rural areas, housing should be located where it will enhance or maintain the vitality of rural communities. Given their accessibility, existing local businesses and services would be likely to derive support from the development due to the addition to the local economy of the spending power of new residents. In these respects, the proposal would support the social and economic dimensions of sustainability as defined in the NPPF.
8. It is acknowledged that due to the site's rural location, residents of the proposed development would be reliant to a degree on car travel for their main shopping and leisure trips. However, a number of sustainable transport options would nonetheless be available to access local services, including walking, cycling and public transport.
Local character
9. The land proposed for development comprises an open field located on the southern edge of the village, but is well-contained visually by existing housing to the north and west and by established boundary hedges and trees elsewhere. From Station Road, views of the proposed houses would be limited to glimpsed views along the new access, whilst from Dirty Lane to the south, the site would be screened from view by a series of established hedgerows. Consequently, whilst the proposal would inevitably result in a loss of openness, its impact on the landscape setting of the village and the character of the area generally would be limited.
10. The established pattern of development in the vicinity is mixed, but is made up predominantly of detached and semi-detached houses and bungalows set in good sizes plots. Historically, development has extended south-westwards from the village centre along Station Road in a broadly linear form. However, this pattern of development of building has been consolidated by development in depth behind frontage properties in a several places, including immediately to the north of the site where bungalows are arranged in circular fashion in a short cul-de-sac, and at the Old Maltings just to the north-east. 11. As demonstrated by the submitted concept layout (see below), the site could be developed in a way that would be consistent with the surrounding pattern of development and so would not appear out of place. The density of development envisaged of around 25DPH would also be compatible with its surroundings and would enable the relatively spacious character of the area to be maintained.Highway safety
12. Access to the site is available directly off Station Road between existing houses (Rosedial House and The Hawthorns). It is proposed that a new access road would be constructed here in accordance with relevant highway standards. Suitable provision would also be made for pedestrian movement along Station Road. Highway consultants are being instructed to design appropriate an appropriate access, and further technical information to support the proposal will be provided as soon as it is available.
13. In the meantime, it is noted that Station Road provides a direct link to the village centre and is constructed to a good standard, providing for two-way traffic and benefitting from street lighting. The road is subject to 30mph speed limit. Good visibility would be available from the proposed access onto Station Road in both directions. Existing footways stop short of the proposed site entrance, but there are wide highway verges along this section of Station Road. These verges currently provide safe refuge for pedestrians and would in the future facilitate the construction of any necessary new footway links to serve the proposed development.
Heritage assets
14. The southern and eastern boundaries of the site proposed for development adjoin the Pulham St Mary Conservation Area. The Conservation Area encompasses the historic core of the village, together with a broad swathe of farmland on its southern fringe. Only limited views of the development would be available from the Conservation Area due to the screening effects of boundary hedges and hedges. It is also envisaged that the proposed houses would be well back from these boundaries, which would diminish their visual impact. Where visible the proposed development would be seen against the backdrop of existing housing to the north and west, and would appear as a natural rounding-off of this part of the village .
15. There is only one listed building in the vicinity of the site, The White House, which is located around 100 metres away to the south-west on the opposite side of Station Road. The significance of this Grade II listed timber framed house appears to derive principally from its architectural form/details and historic fabric, together with its setting in grounds on the edge of the village. Given its separation from the site and the screening effects of intervening houses and vegetation, it is considered that the proposed development would not have a material impact on the setting of this listed building.
Flooding
16. Whilst a small area of the site adjacent to the southern boundary is at risk of fluvial and surface water flooding, the majority of the site falls with Flood Risk Zone 1 (low risk). The proposed development would be located on higher ground away from any flood risk areas. Further technical work, including a site-specific flood risk assessment, is being commissioned to demonstrate that the proposed development would not be a risk of flooding or be likely to result in an increased flood risk elsewhere in the locality. This will submitted in support of the proposed development as soon as possible.
Proximity to sewage works
17. It is noted that a sewage treatment works (STW) is located to the south-east of the site on land off Dirty Lane. To address this issue an Odour Assessment is being commissioned to inform the form and layout of the proposed development. Appropriate separation distances will be provided between proposed houses and the STW to ensure that future residents enjoy a good standard of amenity.
Land at Station Road, Pulham St Mary 5
Ecology
18. An Ecological Assessment1 of the site has been carried out (copy attached), which found that the development of the site would be unlikely to impact on any designated sites, and that the development site itself lacks any features of note, with the exception of boundary hedgerows which would be retained. For the protected species scoped-in as potentially present (including breeding birds, hedgehogs and invertebrates), it was concluded that, due to the lack of scarce or specialist resources within the site, any individuals present would be part of a larger local population.
Delivery of development
19. No significant infrastructure constraints have been identified to date which would be likely to delay or impede the development of the site for housing. The site is in a single ownership and no further land is needed to enable the land to be brought forward for development. The land is currently available for development and so, subject to approval being given, could delivery housing in the short term.
Benefits of development
20. The proposed development would make a positive contribution to the supply of housing in the area. The proposal would also add to the range of housing sites available in the locality, providing flexibility and a wider choice of development opportunities to the market, and thus strengthening the local supply of housing land.
21. Existing local businesses and services would be likely to derive support from the development due to the addition to the local economy of the spending power of new residents, given their accessibility from the site. The construction of the development would also provide some economic benefits, albeit temporary. New residents would also add to the vitality of the local community.
22. Additionally it is considered that Pulham St Mary would represent a sustainable location for development of the modest scale envisaged, given the range of local services available and the range of sustainable transport options available. The proposal would also be consistent with the pattern and character of development in the area.
23. In these respects, the proposal would support the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainability, as defined in the NPPF. It would also be consistent with the various growth options proposed in the draft Local Plan, including dispersal, dispersal plus settlement and dispersal plus urban growth.

Vision Statement
The vision for Honingham Thorpe is based on a holistic approach towards growth by delivering abalanced sustainable community predicated on three main elements - employment, residential and
leisure.
The principle of development in this area has, in part, been established through current strategic
planning policy which has promoted the concept of a Food Enterprise Park. This initiative would be
embellished by further employment uses along the northern section of the proposed settlement.
Alongside the employment proposals, it is proposed that a phased residential area is established. The
initial first two phases will be 400 residential units each, giving a total of 800 units in years 1 to 4
constructed by the promoters of the proposed settlement, Clarion Homes. This will be sufficient to
trigger the first primary school in the new development. The intention is for the residential areas to grow
organically based around neighbourhood local centres that will provide Primary schools, shops and
community facilities.
The third element of the proposed settlement is to provide a Country Park based on the section of land
related to the River Yare valley. The intention is to provide an early delivery of this Park through a
carefully phased public access into the area. In addition to providing public access, there will be
restricted areas to protect the inherent natural features of the area.
The proposed settlement is intended to be based on its agricultural and countryside roots, and this
theme will be developed further through this document. In addition, it is considered that the proposed
settlement will not operate in isolation and it will link to other existing and emerging features in the area.
In terms of scale, it is proposed that the settlement will consist of the following:
* 72 hectares of employment space
* 198 hectares of residential development of a minimum 3,900 units with the potential of 3,600
units in future years beyond the plan period.
* 81 hectares of Country Park with extensive frontage and access to the River Yare
* 3.5 hectares of nature reserve
It is intended that these uses would be combined to create a self-sufficient, low-carbon community, with
walkable neighbourhoods and close links to the surrounding area, including other local settlements and
the farming hinterland. The new settlement would thus be firmly rooted in local agricultural and rural
traditions. These themes will be developed further through this document.

1. The land is subject to a Promotion Agreement with ESCO Developments Ltd who are being advised by Brown & Co alongside Savills on behalf of the landowners. The following comments are submitted in support of the suggested allocation of the land at Buckenham Lane (ref GNDP0296) for housing.
2. It is noted that the site is classified as being suitable for housing development in the Council's Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) 2017. However, a number of technical issues are identified as potential constraints on development, and these issues are addressed below.
Highway access
3. Access to the site is available directly off both Buckenham Lane and Buckenham Road. It is acknowledged that Buckenham Lane is narrow and can be widened, if necessary, as both sides of Buckenham Lane are in the same land ownership and can be widened to accept an element of the development from an access on the western side. Buckenham Road is wide enough to accept traffic that would be associated with the proposed site and both roads are within the 30 mph speed limit of the village. Both access points would be constructed in accordance with relevant highway standards. Suitable provision would also be made for pedestrian movement along Buckenham Road and Buckenham Lane to connect with Norwich Road and the rest of the footpath network in the village.
4. It is noted that Norwich Road provides a direct link to the village centre and is constructed to a good standard, providing for two -way traffic. and benefitting from street lighting. The road is subject to 30mph speed limit. The existing junction of Norwich Road/Buckenham Road is suitable to be this access route. The existing highway verges on both Buckenham Lane and Buckenham Road currently provide safe refuge for pedestrians and would in the future facilitate the construction of any necessary new footway links.
Access to services
5. Lingwood is identified in the current Joint Core Strategy as a Service Village and has a newly built Primary Academy, a new village hall, shops and a public house. The site is within 400 metres of the Primary Academy and village hall. In addition, the railway station is a further 300 metres along Station Road. The village store is within 100 metres of the site being sited on the south side of Norwich Road very close to the site and the Lingwood Chippy opposite. We believe, therefore, the location of services in the village, would be readily accessible from it on foot or by bicycle to the proposed site.
6. A number of bus services operate on weekdays and Saturdays through the village, providing links to Norwich, Great Yarmouth and Wroxham. There are bus services running from Norwich Road, service 15A (to Wymondham operated by first bus), 74 (Little Plumstead - Blofield - Brundall - Lingwood - Great Yarmouth operated by Ourhire), 292 (Cantley - Brundall - Wroxham operated by Ourhire). The nearest bus station is located approximately 5 minutes walk from the site.
7. Accordingly, it is considered that the proposal development would benefit from good access to local services, and would accord with local and national planning policies which indicate that to promote sustainable development in rural areas, housing should be located where it will enhance or maintain the vitality of rural communities. Given their accessibility, existing local businesses and services would be likely to derive support from the development due to the addition to the local economy of the spending power of new residents. In these respects, the proposal would support the social and economic dimensions of sustainability as defined in the NPPF.
8. It is acknowledged that the site is in a rural location, residents of the proposed development would be reliant to a degree on car travel for their main shopping and leisure trips. However, a number of sustainable transport options would nonetheless be available to access local services, including walking, cycling and public transport (i.e. train and bus).
Significant Landscapes
9. The land proposed for development comprises an open field located on the southern edge of the village, but is well-contained visually by existing housing to the north and west and by established boundary hedges and trees. From Norwich Road, views of the proposed houses would be limited to views along the eastern boundary along Buckenham Road and to the west via Buckenham Lane. Consequently, whilst the proposal would inevitably result in a loss of openness, its impact on the landscape setting of the village and the character of the area generally would be contained with a visual gap being maintained between Lingwood and Strumpshaw. There are no specific landscape designations in the immediate area of the site. The land is generally flat in character with countryside hedges and individual mature trees. The proposal would be consistent in form with surrounding developments, keeping with the residential property on either side of the road.
10. The established pattern of development in the vicinity is mixed, but is made up predominantly of detached and semi-detached houses and bungalows set in good sizes plots. Historically, development has extended to the north of Norwich Road towards the railway station and beyond. The proposed development would mirror previous development in the village which has occurred between the principal roads running north and south off Norwich Road.
11. The proposal would be consistent in form with these developments and so would not appear out of place. The density of development envisaged of around 30DPH would also be compatible with its surroundings and would enable the relatively spacious character of the area to be maintained.
Utilities Infrastructure
12. We do not believe there is any fundamental impediment to the delivery of the site through any constraints relating to utilities infrastructure. The increase in capacity can be built into the new development.
Flooding
13. The site falls with Flood Risk Zone 1 (low risk). Further technical work, including a site-specific flood risk assessment, is being commissioned to demonstrate that the proposed development would not be a risk of flooding or be likely to result in an increased flood risk elsewhere in the locality. This will submitted in support of the proposed development as soon as possible.
Delivery of development
14. No significant infrastructure constraints have been identified to date which would be likely to delay or impede the development of the site for housing. The site is in a single ownership and no further land is needed to enable the land to be brought forward for development. The land is currently available for development and so, subject to approval being given, could delivery housing in the short term.
15. The proposed development would make a positive contribution to the supply of high quality housing in the area and could facilitate improvements to the local utilities capacity. The proposal would also add to the range of housing sites available in the locality, providing flexibility and a wider choice of development opportunities to the market, and thus strengthening the local supply of housing land. By providing sufficient land of the right type in the right place to support growth the development would address the economic dimension of sustainable development, as defined in the NPPF.

Greater Norwich Local Plan: Land east of Old Norwich Road, Horsham and Newton St Faith [Site Ref:GNLP0482],
1. The following comments are submitted in support of the suggested allocation of the land east of Old Norwich Road (ref GNDP0482) for housing.
2. It is noted that the site is classified as being suitable for housing development in the Council's Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) 2017. However, a number of technical issues are identified as potential constraints on development, and these issues are addressed below.
Highway safety
3. Access to the site is available directly off Old Norwich Road. New vehicular and pedestrian access is being proposed off Bullock Hill, Spixworth Road and Old Norwich Road. The proposed Old Norwich Road Park will be accessed off Old Norwich Road.
4. It is noted that Old Norwich Road provides a direct link to the village centre and is constructed to a good standard, providing for two -way traffic. and benefitting from street lighting. The road is subject to 30mph speed limit. Good visibility would be available from the junctions onto Norwich Road in both directions. Old Norwich Road has a footpath along its western side and the highway verge along its eastern side (i.e. alongside the proposed site) is sufficiently wide enough so that in the future it can facilitate the construction of any necessary new footway links. There is some provision already in place for pedestrian movement along Spixworth Road
Access to services
5. Horsham and Newton St Faith is identified in the current Joint Core Strategy as a Service Village. Horsham St Faiths has a range of facilities including a Post office and stores (Back Lane), the Church of St Mary and St Andrew, The Black Swan Public house, and St Faiths Centre (Manor Road). The site is within 200 metres of the Post Office and stores.
6. The village is located within approximately 2.4km of the village Horsford that contains a shop for day-to-day needs, restaurants, public houses, a village hall, nursery and primary schools, doctors, and further employment opportunities.
7. A number of bus services operate on weekdays and Saturdays through the village, providing links to Norwich, Reepham and Sheringham. There are bus services running from Norwich Road, service 43 (to Reepham operated by Sanders Coaches), and 44A (to Sheringham also operated by Sanders Coaches). The nearest bus stations are located approximately 160m on Church Street, opposite the Church of Saint Mary and Saint Andrew and 160m on Norwich Road. The site is in close proximity of the NDR.
8. Accordingly, it is considered that the proposal development would benefit from good access to local services, and would accord with local and national planning policies which indicate that to promote sustainable development in rural areas, housing should be located where it will enhance or maintain the vitality of rural communities. Given their accessibility, existing local businesses and services would be likely to derive support from the development due to the addition to the local economy of the spending power of new residents. In these respects, the proposal would support the social and economic dimensions of sustainability as defined in the NPPF. The proposed development will bring benefits to the local area including local housing, amenity area and a community area.
9. It is acknowledged that due to the site's rural location, residents of the proposed development would be reliant to a degree on car travel for their main shopping and leisure trips. However, a number of sustainable transport options would nonetheless be available to access local services, including walking, cycling and public transport.
Local character
10. The land proposed for development comprises an open field located on the southern edge of the village, but is well-contained visually by existing housing to the north and west and by established boundary hedges and trees would not appear out of place. Consequently, whilst the proposal would inevitably result in a loss of openness, its impact on the landscape setting of the village and the character of the area generally would be limited.
11. The established pattern of development in the vicinity is mixed but is made up predominantly of detached and semi-detached houses and bungalows set in good sizes plots. The village has a predominantly nucleated settlement pattern. The proposal would be consistent in form with these developments and so would not appear out of place. The development will be well screened.
Heritage assets
12. There is a number of listed buildings in the vicinity of the site. The White House, located opposite the site, off Old Norwich Road. The significance of these mostly Grade II listed buildings, appears to derive principally from its architectural form/details and historic fabric, together with its setting in grounds on the edge of the village. Given its separation from the site and the screening effects of intervening houses and vegetation, it is considered that the proposed development would not have a material impact on the setting of any of the listed building.
13. The site is not located within a Conservation Area. The Horsham St Faith Conservation Area is located to the north and east of the site boundaries.
Flooding
14. The site falls with Flood Risk Zone 1 (low risk). Further technical work, including a site-specific flood risk assessment, is being commissioned to demonstrate that the proposed development would not be a risk of flooding or be likely to result in an increased flood risk elsewhere in the locality. This will submitted in support of the proposed development as soon as possible.
Transport
15. A report of the existing transport infrastructure by Royal Haskoning DHV concluded that the site can be accessed safely without hindering the integrity of the existing highway network. In addition, it has been demonstrated that it is feasible to provide a package of off-site works which would accommodate residential development at this location and also enhance the provision for sustainable travel within the local community.
16. The report concluded there is no reason relating highways access and infrastructure provision which should hinder the progression of the proposed allocation. A copy of this report for will be sent under separate cover.
Delivery of development
17. No significant infrastructure constraints have been identified to date which would be likely to delay or impede the development of the site for housing. The site is in a single ownership and no further land is needed to enable the land to be brought forward for development. The land is currently available for development and so, subject to approval being given, could delivery housing in the short term.
18. The proposed development would make a positive contribution to the supply of market and affordable housing in the area. The proposal would also add to the range of housing sites available in the locality, providing flexibility and a wider choice of development opportunities to the market, and thus strengthening the local supply of housing land. Pedestrian access to this site could be enhanced by the council as it owns the land adjoining this site and Woodward square. By providing sufficient land of the right type in the right place to support growth the development would address the economic dimension of sustainable development, as defined in the NPPF. The proposal could also include small commercial units for work/home style offices, if there is local demand from small businesses.

Greater Norwich Local Plan: Land at Church Road, Woodton [Site Ref:GNLP0278],
1. The land is subject to a Promotion Agreement with ESCO Developments Ltd who are being advised by Brown & Co alongside Savills on behalf of the landowners. The following comments are submitted in support of the suggested allocation of the land at Church Road (ref GNDP0278) for housing.
2. It is noted that the site is classified as being suitable for housing development in the Council's Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) 2017. However, a number of technical issues are identified as potential constraints on development, and these issues are addressed below.
Highway safety
3. Access to the site is available directly off Church Road (B1527). There is provision already in place for pedestrian movement along Church Road. The road is subject to 40mph speed limit and is constructed to a good standard, providing two -way traffic. Nearby, The Street provides a direct link to the village centre.
4. Good visibility would be available from the proposed access onto Church Road in both directions. There is an existing footway on the opposite side of Church Road which continues along Norwich Road, where it meets with the Street. The speed limit reduces to 30mph and leads directly to the village centre.
Access to services
5. Woodton is identified in the current Joint Core Strategy as a Service Village. It benefits from a pub, local church, post office, village hall, primary school and playing field. A farm shop and café are being developed on the outskirts of the village which will provide employment opportunities. The village centre is approximately 965m from the access to the site off Church Road, and would be readily accessible from it on foot or by bicycle.
6. There are frequent bus services running from the village to Norwich City Centre, Bungay and Halesworth (Konect Service 87, 88 and 88X), with some services running on Sunday. The nearest bus station to the site is located approximately 320m on Norwich Road, opposite and adjacent to Woodton Primary School. With further bus stations located in the village centre. Norwich train station is located approximately 16.7km, and the railway station in Beccles is located approximately 17.9km from the site, both offering services operating to London.
7. The B1527 provides a link to the A140 and Long Stratton to the west, whilst the B1332 to the east of the village provides links to Norwich and Bungay.
8. Woodton is located a short distance to the north-west of Bungay and provides a range of other local services including a number of churches, a doctors surgery, a supermarket, library, fire station and a swimming pool and gym. Bungay is approximately 8.5km away from the proposed site. Hobart High School is the catchment high school which is located approximately 11.1km from the site in Loddon.
9. Accordingly, it is considered that the proposal development would benefit from good access to local services, and would accord with local and national planning policies which indicate that to promote sustainable development in rural areas, housing should be located where it will enhance or maintain the vitality of rural communities. Given their accessibility, existing local businesses and services would be likely to derive support from the development due to the addition to the local economy of the spending power of new residents. In these respects, the proposal would support the social and economic dimensions of sustainability as defined in the NPPF. The proposed development will bring benefits to the local area including local housing, amenity area and a community area.
10. It is acknowledged that due to the site's rural location, residents of the proposed development would be reliant to a degree on car travel for their main shopping and leisure trips. However, a number of sustainable transport options would nonetheless be available to access local services, including walking, cycling and public transport.
Local character
11. The land proposed for development comprises an open field located on just of Church Road to the north of the village. The proposed development would be established slightly to the east opposite to existing residential development and is well related to the school, so would not appear out of place. From Norwich Road, views of the proposed houses would be limited as the site will be screened by a series of established hedgerows and trees. Consequently, whilst the proposal would inevitably result in a loss of openness, its impact on the landscape setting of the village and the character of the area generally would be limited.
12. The established pattern of development in the vicinity is mixed but is made up predominantly of detached and semi-detached houses and bungalows set in good sizes plots. The village has a predominantly nucleated settlement pattern based around Hempnall Road, The Street, Triple Plea Road and Chapel Hill. Some limited estate scale development has taken place in the village. (There has been recent housing allocation for 21 dwellings on Land North West of The Street- 2016/0466). The proposal would be consistent in form with these developments and so would not appear out of place. The development will be well screened.
Heritage assets
13. There is two listed buildings in the vicinity of the site, The Manor Farmhouse, which is located approximately 195m away to the north, and The Old Rectory, which is located 195m away to the north east of the site on Norwich Road. The significance of these Grade II listed brick and timber framed houses appears to derive principally from their architectural form/details and historic fabric, together with its setting in grounds on the edge of the village. Given the separation of the listed buildings from the site and the screening effects of vegetation, it is considered that the proposed development would not have a material impact on the setting of either of the listed buildings. Several other listed buildings north and south off Norwich Road have sufficient screening effects of vegetation.
Flooding
14. The site falls with Flood Risk Zone 1 (low risk). Further technical work, including a site-specific flood risk assessment, is being commissioned to demonstrate that the proposed development would not be a risk of flooding or be likely to result in an increased flood risk elsewhere in the locality. This will submitted in support of the proposed development as soon as possible.
Delivery of development
15. No significant infrastructure constraints have been identified to date which would be likely to delay or impede the development of the site for housing. The site is in a single ownership and no further land is needed to enable the land to be brought forward for development. The land is currently available for development and so, subject to approval being given, could delivery housing in the short term.
16. The proposed development would make a positive contribution to the supply of market and affordable housing in the area. The proposal would also add to the range of housing sites available in the locality, providing flexibility and a wider choice of development opportunities to the market, and thus strengthening the local supply of housing land. Pedestrian access to this site could be enhanced by the council as it owns the land adjoining this site and Woodward square. By providing sufficient land of the right type in the right place to support growth the development would address the economic dimension of sustainable development, as defined in the NPPF. The proposal could also include small commercial units for work/home style offices, if there is local demand from small businesses.

Submitted during Stage B Consultation

Please find attached additional information for GNLP reference GNLP0278, site south of Church Road, Woodton, relating to the Regulation 18 Consultation. Additionally, please find attached the initial Site Plan.

The site has been submitted by the "Call for Sites" undertaken in May/July 2016. In response to the Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) undertaken in December 2017, additional information was provided in the Regulation 18 Consultation in March 2018. The purpose of this submission is to be provided greater clarity on the delivery of this site as part of its contribution to the future growth of Greater Norwich.

The proposal consists of 60 dwellings, of which 40 would be open market houses and 20 would be affordable housing. In addition, it is intended that provision would be made for a village shop with an office above at first floor within the site. The landowner currently runs a farming business adjacent to the site and is keen to run a shop in the village. Outside the site, but in close proximity to the east, the intention is to provide an additional classroom for Woodton Primary School. There would be a pedestrian/cycle link through the site, connecting Woodton Primary School with the rest of the village to the south through the proposed development. It is intended to link through the recently completed development on The Woodyard Square close to the south-east corner of the proposed development. This would provide an off-road route to the school and playing field.

We believe that the site has no significant constraints or impacts which would preclude its delivery. The site is in a single ownership and it is immediately available for development and, therefore, subject to approval being given, can deliver housing within a short timescale. As part of the development, we can provide substantial additional facilities to the village, namely a shop/office, link to the school and playing field, together with potentially funding and expansion of the primary school.
