South Norfolk Village Clusters Housing Allocations Plan (Reg. 18 Draft)
Representation ID: 1255
Received: 01/08/2021
Respondent: Professor Keith Waldron
Representation Summary:
I fully support the comments of Barford and Wramplingham Parish Council, and those of CPRE.
1) The target of “at least 1200 dwellings” is not a sustainable approach for the Cluster Plan. It also fails to take into account the contribution of windfall sites.
2) The GNLP requires 42568 new dwellings including a 5% buffer. There is no justification in seeking 49492 dwellings which is some 20% above recent high building rates.
3) Putting houses on the edges of villages will just stretch current services, and increase car journeys.
4) Farm land should be kept for future food production.
