Assessment of sites
• Why has the Norfolk HELAA been amended? The whole point was to ensure a sustainable pattern of development across Norfolk. You may want to thoroughly explain why such changes to the Norfolk-wide approach have been made.
• What extra distances have you used?
• Also, when you say ‘safe and convenient access to those services’, what mode of travel is that by? How has the quality of the route and likelihood of someone using the route in all weather, at all times of the year been assessed?

Throughout
• Throughout, in the form and character sections, you talk about having links to various other places /being well served. Is this a road link, pedestrian link, public transport? It might be an idea to say what mode the link relates to. The commentary seems all about the car at the moment.
• Do you need to summarise access to the various services in the main document?
• Did you want to say where the bus goes to and if there is a peak hour trip?
Maps
• The legend says that blue is rejected sites and sites being assessed in Neighbourhood Plans (NP). Are all blue sites doing both things? Could a site just be rejected and not be assessed in a NP? If a site is being rejected by the Local Plan, how can it then be successfully included in a NP?
• Should you plot on the maps where the services are?
