This plan forms part of the Council’s development plan and will be used in the determination of planning applications. This Local Plan is a comprehensive planning document that identifies where development will take place, how new jobs will be supported and how the environment of the borough will be protected and enhanced, ensuring the natural beauty of North West Norfolk It also allocates major sites and locations for development to meet the needs of our growing population. The Local Plan has been prepared through a long and detailed process, with input from local residents, councillors, interested bodies, and statutory consultees taking into account a range of issues and considerations. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the residents, community groups, and other contributors to the plan who all share a desire to plan for a successful future for the borough. This strategy will meet our needs for new homes, a strong economy and a protected natural environment over the next 10 years. SADMP 3 Introduction A Introduction What is the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Plan? A.0.1 The Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Plan gives effect to and complements the adopted Core Strategy. It allocates land to deliver the development requirements of the Core Strategy, such as housing, employment, recreation, green spaces, community and leisure uses. Additionally, it includes development management policies which apply across the Borough and these will be used when determining planning applications. A.0.2 Once adopted the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Plan will sit alongside the already adopted Core Strategy to form the Local Plan for the Borough. Its policies will guide development in the Borough for the period up to 2026. Formally the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Plan will be a 'development plan document' under the Planning Acts and is in conformity with the strategic policies in the Core Strategy and consistent with the National Planning Policy Framework. A.0.3 The Core Strategy sets out the scale of growth and broad distribution for the Borough. The Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Plan will help achieve this through the following main measures: Determining the most appropriate detailed distribution of housing between individual settlements and locations (within the overall structure specified in the Core Strategy); Allocation of specific sites for housing and other uses; Defining development boundaries for settlements where general development is likely to be acceptable; Development management policies for particular topics or locations to guide and set standards for planning applications and appeals; Minor adjustments and corrections to the Core Strategy.
