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

Representation ID: 2875

Received: 07/03/2023

Respondent: Cornerstone Planning Ltd

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

Site SN0475REVA or SN0475REVB should be an allocated site in the Plan. The suitability assessment paints an unnecessarily pessimistic picture regarding the sustainability credentials of the site. Any adverse impacts would be outweighed by the social and economic benefits of the provision of an affordable housing-led scheme in Colton/village cluster (including much-needed accommodation for staff at the nearby Barnham Broom Golf & Country Club, N&N NHS Trust and UEA) and provision of public open space in Colton. The Plan is therefore unsound, in that it is inconsistent with national policy (NPPF paragraphs 78-79).

Change suggested by respondent:

Site SN0475REVA or SN0475REVB should be an allocated site (affordable housing led scheme) in the Plan.
