See attachment for full response.
Housing need for Greater Norwich is 40,541 with necessary buffer of 5%, giving total of 42,568. GNLP figure of 49,492 new dwellings to 2038 including buffer of 22% is therefore unnecessarily high.
GNLP forecast that ‘windfall delivery is likely to remain robustly high.’ Therefore no need to allocate new sites in the SNVCHAP.

Very little evidence that new housing estates on the edges of villages will bring boost to local services. Rather they will over-burden these services, leading to more car and delivery vehicle journeys, with residents travelling farther to access services.

Best way to protect character is to have no new allocations in these settlements, other than windfalls and those sites already allocated through JCS.
