Natural England welcomes the opportunity to comment on South Norfolk Council’s South Norfolk Village Cluster Housing Allocation Plan (VCHAP) which aims to deliver at least 1,200 homes across smaller sites in villages, and help to ensure a consistent approach to planning across the South Norfolk rural area, with policies aligned with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
