Hard copies are available at Deposit Points (County Hall, City Hall, South Norfolk Council and Broadland District Council receptions). 4 Introduction 1.1. This document, the Site Proposals document, forms part of the Regulation 18 consultation on the emerging Greater Norwich Local Plan (GNLP). It covers sites and development boundaries. It accompanies the main consultation document, the Growth Options document, which covers the strategic plan approach. Section 5 of the Growth Options document sets the background to the consultation on sites. 1.2. At this stage no decisions have been made about which sites should or should not be included in the emerging plan; however, where sites have been assessed, this document, and the supporting evidence in the Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) give an early indication about their possible suitability. 1.3. One of the assumptions underlying the GNLP is that sites that already have planning permission or are allocated for housing in current local plans will be built by 2036; however, we are testing those assumptions through this consultation. 1.4. Consequently, within this document we are asking for your views on: • Sites of over 0.25 hectares which have been submitted for possible inclusion in the GNLP between 16 May 2016 and 31 July 2017, all of which have undergone a preliminary assessment; • Current development boundaries/limits from the existing local plans1. Within the main Growth Options document, we have also asked questions on: • Existing allocations and planning permissions for housing, which are known as the existing commitment (question 8); • The key employment sites across the Greater Norwich Area, as identified in the GNLP Employment, Town Centres and Retail Study 2017 (questions 27 to 30). 1 The existing development boundaries/limits are taken from: Broadland Site Allocations DPD (2016); Old Catton, Sprowston, Rackheath & Thorpe St Andrew Growth Triangle Area Action Plan (July 2016); Norwich Site Allocations and Site Specific Policies Local Plan (December 2014); South Norfolk Site Specific Allocation and Policies Document (October 2015); Long Stratton Area Action Plan (May 2016); Wymondham Area Action Plan (October 2015); & Cringleford Neighbourhood Development Plan (February 2014). 5 1.5. As well as seeking views on the sites already identified, it is also possible that you may wish to put forward additional sites which you consider would be as good as, or better than those already identified; this is your opportunity to do that (see question 3 of this document below). 1.6. The main Growth Options consultation document asks various questions about the how much growth is likely to be needed between now and 2036. Question 3 covers jobs growth and questions 4 to 6 housing growth. Consequently no decisions have been made yet as to precisely how much land is needed to accommodate the additional development. The Growth Options document also sets out various possibilities for how the total growth will be distributed, with questions 9 to 12 covering this issue. The Growth Options include particular areas (such as transport corridors); or particular types of settlement (e.g. concentrated in larger towns or dispersed to a range of smaller villages); or whether a new settlement is a viable component of future growth. Consequently, at this stage, no conclusions can be drawn about which sites should to go forward into the GNLP until the amount and pattern of growth has been established. This sites consultation provides the opportunity for you to comment on the sites that have been submitted and to identify other potential sites for growth. To assist you in making your comments, it provides information on sites submitted by settlement and points you to individual site assessments done through the HELAA. 2. Settlement Summaries and Sites 2.1. Set out below in this document are a series of site details and settlement summaries, with accompanying maps available via the GNLP website at www.gnlp.org.uk : • site details are listed under the parish within which they fall (or within which the majority of the site falls); • you can make comments on the submitted sites online via the GNLP website, with interactive maps for each submitted site also available to help you (see paragraph 2.10 below for further detail); • sites are also illustrated in map booklets for each parish/town/city available via the GNLP website. Each map booklet contains an overall map for the parish, followed by a series of individual site maps. We have tried to show as much context as possible, therefore sites which are outside the parish, but close to the boundary, should also be clearly evident from the maps. • Hard copies of the maps and all other consultation documents are also available from the consultation deposit points: o County Hall, Martineau Lane, Norwich (main reception); nd o City Hall, St Peters Street, Norwich (2 floor reception); o Broadland District Council, Thorpe Road, Thorpe St Andrew (main reception); o South Norfolk Council, Cygnet Court, Long Stratton (main reception). 6 • as the title suggests, the settlement summaries have been written on a settlement basis, rather than a parish basis. Therefore, where a site clearly relates to a settlement in an adjoining parish, because of proximity and because future residents would use the services and facilities in that settlement, the site has been included within the summary for that settlement. For example, the settlement summary for Poringland includes several sites which are listed under the parishes of Caistor St Edmund, Framingham Earl, Framingham Pigot, and Stoke Holy Cross, but which are shown on the maps for both the parish they are in and are also shown on the overall parish map for Poringland. Where possible, where the sites details and the summary of the site appear under different parishes, we have tried to cross-reference these as clearly as possible. Proposed Sites 2.2. Basic site details are set out for all sites submitted up to 31 July 2017. The site details set out the location of the site, who has proposed it and what they would like it considered for. Whilst we have tried to take into account what the site has been proposed for, where sites have been proposed for specific house numbers the assessment will take into account the potential for housing development at the densities set out in the HELAA methodology, in order to make the assessment of sites consistent.
