  • Broadland Village Clusters – Site Summaries
    BROADLAND VILLAGE CLUSTERS – SITE SUMMARIES 1 BLOFIELD HEATH & HEMBLINGTON CLUSTER STRATEGY QUESTION: BLOFIELD HEATH & HEMBLINGTON OVERVIEW SETTLEMENT/ SITE REFERENCE: TOTAL NUMBER OF 11 REPRESENTATIONS: SUPPORT/ OBJECT/ COMMENT 1 Support, 2 Object, 8 Comment BREAKDOWN: The Blofield Heath and Hemblington cluster has 1 c/f allocation (BLO5), 1 preferred site (1048), 0 reasonable alternatives and 5 sites which are judged to be unreasonable. Main issues: • Preferred Site GNLP1048 – site promoter questions whether a larger number of homes on the site could be appropriate. Blofield Parish Council suggest looking at the Renenergy scheme and implications for the size of the site. • Unreasonable site GNLP2080 now has planning permission Sites not commented on through the consultation: Unreasonable Residential Sites • GNLP0099 • GNLP0288 • GNLP0300 • GNLP2172 2 Blofield Heath and Hemblington Cluster – General Comments STRATEGY QUESTION: Blofield Heath – Title SETTLEMENT/ SITE REFERENCE: (General Comments) TOTAL NUMBER OF REPRESENTATIONS: 1 SUPPORT/ OBJECT/ COMMENT 0 Support, 0 Object, 1 Comment BREAKDOWN: RESPONDENT SUPPORT/ BRIEF SUMMARY OF COMMENTS MAIN ISSUES DRAFT GNLP PROPOSED (OR GROUP OF OBJECT/ REQUIRING RESPONSE CHANGE TO RESPONDENTS) COMMENT INVESTIGATION PLAN Blofield Parish Comment • Site on Blofield Corner Road shouldn’t be Comments noted None Council approved as drainage strategy is into a blind ditch, it would be useful to link that evidence to this response. Due to drainage, not much has been done on site. • The site beside Heathlands on Woodbastwick Road also proposes to link up to this drainage path, there’s the issue of whether that also renders this site unworkable because of drainage. • The drainage strategy passed for Dawsons Lane is non-compliant and site specific for 12 properties and a small section of adoptable road, rest to be porous brick within the development itself.

  • Rackheath Booklet
    Settlement Name: Rackheath Settlement Rackheath forms part of an area identified for significant Hierarchy: growth in the JCS referred to as the Old Catton, Sprowston Rackheath, Thorpe St Andrew Growth Triangle where land is allocated through the OSRT Growth Triangle AAP. NB the GNLP will not supersede the AAP document – the allocations at GT16 – GT19 are therefore not part of this plan. Rackheath is classified as an urban fringe parish in the Greater Norwich Local Plan. Currently Rackheath is a predominantly rural parish with a population of approximately 2,000. The OSRT GT as a whole has a commitment of approx. 12,500 dwellings, including approx. 3,200 in Rackheath. Early work in the ‘Towards a Strategy Document’ considers this commitment and therefore specifies 200 dwellings as an indicative figure for new allocations in the north-east sector to be spread across Rackheath, Sprowston and Thorpe. For Rackheath the strategy considers potential smaller sites and uplift in existing allocations but questions how much could be delivered in the plan period or post-2036? Current facilities in the village include a primary school, a local shop and post office, a pub and a village hall although there are also new facilities planned into the large-scale development commitments such as a new healthcare facility, two new schools, etc. (policy GT16). Rackheath Neighbourhood Plan (July 2017) 2017-2037 provides additional policies for future development, however, it does not allocate any sites for development. The vision for the Neighbourhood Plan is that by 2037 Rackheath will be a small attractive rural town with a village feel, developed in a way that is sensitive to its rural location and heritage.

  • Broadland County Wildlife Sites Review
    j Broadland County Wildlife Sites Review Final Report Norfolk Wildlife Trust February 2011 Study carried out on behalf of Broadland Community Partnership by Norfolk Wildlife Trust March 2011 Page 1 of 21 Foreword from ecological surveyor “I was pleased to be able to start this work in February, well before the beginning of the survey season in late April /early May as it inevitably takes time to find and contact the landowner. One landowner owned 4 of the potential county wildlife sites on my list and had a history of not granting access to his land; unfortunately this trend continued. However, other landowners are welcoming and charming, even offering the thirsty surveyor a cup of tea. Sometimes the Norfolk Network kicks in and one landowner can lead you to another. You have to ask a lot of questions, be persistent and enjoy a treasure hunt. Sites that have multiple-ownership are a special challenge, as the meadows at Spixworth proved to be, but the rewards can be many too: discovering a species-rich flora, meeting some interesting people, and the satisfaction of covering a large site. I like to think I’m successful at getting onto sites because I’m polite and friendly. It’s when landowners are wavering about allowing access that it’s difficult to strike the right balance of assertiveness, energy, politeness and clarifying that it is their choice in the end.” Page 2 of 21 Contents page 1.
