Support

Representation ID: 22031

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: National Grid

Agent: Firstplan

The Utilities Site is not only critical to the delivery of the May Gurney and Deal Ground site but also represents an opportunity to deliver much needed development and associated benefits in its own right. NG and RWE are therefore pleased that the Utilities Site continues to be carried forward as a site allocation in the Greater Norwich Local Plan (GNLP) in recognition of its role as a key catalyst to regeneration in the East Norwich Regeneration Area. These representations are therefore submitted in support of the continuing allocation and in the interest of ensuring that development density can be maximised, in accordance with national planning policy objectives.

Conclusions
The landowners are supportive of the continued allocation of the site for a mix of uses to be delivered as comprehensive regeneration scheme along with the Deal Ground and May Gurney sites.
The landowners acknowledge that there are access and infrastructure matters still to be resolved throughout the East Norwich Regeneration Area, however, the draft allocation should be updated to allow sufficient flexibility for the delivery of a suited mix of uses and higher density of residential development across the Utilities Site in order to respond to changing requirements, viability constraints and suitability/availability of the site.
