South Norfolk Village Clusters Housing Allocations Plan (Reg. 19 Pre-submission Draft)

I am fully supportive of the whole plan as it aims to provide additional accommodation in many rural parts of the District. This will enable young people, especially, to remain in their locality and to sustain local services and facilities. Overall the plan will also contribute to the required increase in housing during the next few years.

The SNVCHAP should not be running on a different timetable to the GNLP. The housing numbers are unnecessarily high and unsound, in part due to housing within the SNVCHAP being located in more unsustainable locations which will affect the ability of the GNLP authorities to meet Climate Change targets.
To address these issues and to make the two plans sound they should run to the same timetable. As outlined above the inclusion of unnecessary housing numbers within the SNVCHAP in unsustainable locations also makes the SNVCHAP unsound and therefore it should not be adopted.

The Cluster plan is unsound , little villages like Bawburgh deserve to stand on their own and not be swallowed up, 35 houses would make no difference on a big site. This is huge , we can't cope. The road is already a rat run, unleashing 70 odd more cars plus service vehicles on and off a small hill will be dangerous . the village green is already over crowded particularly in the summer months. The school is overcrowded. The sewage system overflows, The river can't cope with more rain water surges. Few pathways or public transport. Leave the view.
Bawburgh is one of the prettiest villages (which is why it is conservation area) near Norwich don't turn it into a town centre , respect the term "Conservation Area"
No more mass housing in Bawburgh, or under pressure go for far less dense maybe 4/5 houses which would hav eless impact on the view, services and amenities

Respondent: Bunwell Parish Council
Bunwell has an ideal windfall site GNLP 2126 of 0.52 hectares which is conveniently placed in the village centre. The Settlement Limit passes across one third of the site. Given the above consultation statement, this would have been a good opportunity to reposition the Settlement Limit to the site borders for future development opportunities of the entire site. Other than three developed sites, no ‘provision’ whatsoever appears to have been made to the village limits and we would question the soundness of the Settlement Limit assessments by not doing so.

Although JBPL and Welbeck Land welcome the progression of the VCHAP, it is felt this should be considered at the same time as the rest of the GNLP. It
remains difficult to comprehend that two interrelated documents are being considered on separate timetables. Especially, as the VCHAP must deliver a minimum of 1,200 dwellings to support the GNLP meeting its need of over 49,000 dwellings over the plan period. These representations conclude that the VCHAP will unlikely deliver the 1,200 dwellings required, and in turn will
significantly undermine the GNLP that is already being drastically constrained by the Nutrient Neutrality issue.
