Public transport provision needs to be improved and made affordable, not only between Mulbarton, main towns and key service centres, but to and from smaller settlements.

Affordable and social housing should be provided where needed as a stand-alone provision, to meet the needs of local people.

A large amount of greenfield site is reallocated or being developed near Mulbarton and the Parish Council would not want to see this increased.

“Village Clusters” appear to be an artificial concept, invented to justify the dispersal of housing into the countryside, which will not benefit Mulbarton due to the large amount of recent development in the village. MPC are concerned that completely different approaches are being taken by SNC and Broadland Council in the same plan.

MPC are concerned that all of the “village clusters” in South Norfolk will not be scrutinised to the same degree as those in Broadland due to being in a separate South Norfolk Village Clusters Housing Site Allocations document.

MPC believes that windfall sites should be restricted to within settlement boundaries and should also count towards the overall housing targets.

Mulbarton and South Norfolk has not benefited from any major infrastructure developments. In the JCS housing concentrated in and close to Norwich was agreed and supported by hugely expensive infrastructure projects, in particular the Broadland Northway( previously known as the NDR), which was primarily constructed to distribute traffic form and to new housing developments on the northern fringes of Norwich and in the North-east Growth Triangle

It would make sense to see the sites allocated for housing in the existing plan (the JCS) developed before any new sites that are likely to be added in to the emerging GNLP are built on
