Policy 1 sets out the proposed housing target for the period between 2018 and 2038, and defines the settlement hierarchy and distribution strategy for Draft GNLP.
Rackheath is located within the Norwich Urban Area and Fringe Parishes area, which is identified as the main focus for growth in Draft GNLP. The settlement hierarchy and the strategy directing growth to the Norwich Urban Area and Fringe Parishes area including Rackheath is supported.
It is acknowledged that the proposed housing target in Policy 1 is derived from the standard method for calculating local housing needs, as required by Paragraph 60 of the NPPF. The proposed allocation at land to the west of Green Lane West in Rackheath (Ref. Policy GNLP0172) would contribute towards the housing target and the delivery of housing in the short term to maintain a sufficient land supply. No other comments are made on the housing target in respect of the proposed allocation.
No changes are requested to Policy 1.
