South Norfolk Village Clusters Housing Allocations Plan (Reg. 18 Draft)

Representation ID: 519

Received: 21/07/2021

Respondent: CPRE Norfolk

Representation Summary:

CPRE Norfolk does not agree there is a need for a Village Clusters Plan for the reasons stated in Q1. If, despite this, the Village Clusters Plan goes ahead it should only allocate new sites for housing which meet a clearly demonstrable need. This need is highly unlikely to be for large ‘executive-style’ houses which have tended to proliferate in small housing developments across South Norfolk villages in recent years: these houses should not be part of the SNVCHAP. Instead, mechanisms should be in place to ensure that needed affordable housing in particular is provided.
