Duty to co-operate? Yes
Ditchingham Farms Partnership object to the plan because site reference SN0345 has not been allocated for housing. The site has no constraints to development. The site is very well related to the built-up area of Ditchingham. New homes on the site would reflect the existing pattern of development in the village. They could be integrated into the existing landscaping on the site without the need for extensive new planting. A high quality vehicular access is available and the Development of the site can improve pedestrian connectivity in the local area.
The Greater Norwich Local Plan provides a ‘minimum’ housing requirement for the area of 1,200 homes. This allows flexibility in delivery. It is important that a range of
sizes and types of sites are provided to deliver a range of housing for local people and to support local house builders.
To make the plan sound further sites such as this one should be allocated in order to provide a wider range of opportunities for local housebuilders.
