Response to Question 2 - Policy SNVC 1 (Standard Requirements) – Support the need for a Standard Policy covering over-arching requirements to ensure specific infrastructure constraints are addressed. The policy and/or supporting text would need to indicate clearly:

(b) indicate the appropriate funding / /delivery mechanisms, for example, use of community infrastructure funds; planning obligations; or planning condition.

Response to Question 3 – Policy SNVC 2 (Design) – Support the need for a policy on design; and welcome the proposed broad criteria. However, it is felt that the criteria should be expanded to include reference to healthy living – i.e. ensuring opportunities for cycling and walking and life-long-housing in line with Agreement 20; and Section 7 (Health) of the Norfolk Strategic Planning Framework (2021).
(Please see further detailed comments provided by the Lead local Flood Authority – below in respect of Policies SNVC 1 and 2).
