Draft Policy 7.4 confirms that 4,024 homes, or around 9% of the total housing growth for Greater
Norwich Area across the plan period will be located within village clusters. 1,200 of these homes will
be allocated within South Norfolk through their Village Clusters Housing Site Allocations document.
The Policy aims to promote social sustainability by supporting rural life and services through
facilitating small scale residential development in village locations such as Stoke Holy Cross. The
provision of several relatively small allocation sites is suggested to have the additional benefit of
supporting small-scale builders, providing choice for the market and helping to ensure the delivery
of housing in popular village locations. Village clusters within south Norfolk will be based on primary
school catchments, which provide a proxy for social sustainability.
Glavenhill consider Stoke Holy Cross and related part of the parish, including Upper Stoke to be an
appropriate location for small scale residential growth.

My client also has concerns regarding the over-reliance in the emerging Greater Norwich Local Plan
on the wider village clustering approach in so far as it applies/may apply to the more remote rural
areas beyond the former Norwich Policy Area (that has traditionally been the focus for growth) as
advocated under Policy 7.4. This is because without evidence to the contrary there could be a clear
disconnect between the main employment and service centres such as Scottow Enterprise Park and
the more rural village clusters identified/not yet identified. In the absence of a clear growth strategy
and information regarding the cluster locations, my client wishes to raise an objection. My client
contends that a significant part of this defined/undefined planned rural cluster growth should be
relocated adjacent to the village of Badersfield and Scottow Enterprise Park.
