Question 2: Is the overall purpose of this draft plan clear?

Representation ID: 21370

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Glavenhill Ltd

Agent: Stephen Flynn

Representation Summary:

The overall purpose of the plan is generally set out clearly within the introduction. However, Glavenhill Ltd wishes to make a number of observations and suggestions, including on how achievable the Plan's commitments are. Furthermore, Glavenhill Ltd consider that it is premature to ask stakeholders to comment on the acceptability of the overall growth strategy, when 15% of the new allocations (South Norfolk small sites) are missing. We appreciate the intent to get on with producing the plan, but these sites form a fundamental part of the overall strategy and without identification of these, the strategy is clearly not sound.

Question 5: Is there anything you feel further explanation, clarification or reference?

Respondent: Glavenhill Ltd

Agent: Stephen Flynn

Representation Summary:

Glavenhill Ltd has a number of comments/questions on the following: It would be useful if actual numbers of required homes were specified in the document. Does the delivery percentage figure for 2015/16 and 2017/18 relate to the combined annual requirement for these years? Please can this be clarified? More information is needed on the City Deal: what it is and what it commits the Councils to deliver in terms of extra housing and employment over and above the JCS targets?

Question 8: Is there anything that you feel needs further explanation, clarification or reference

Representation ID: 21379

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Glavenhill Ltd

Agent: Stephen Flynn

Representation Summary:

Explanation and justification should be provided for removing the Norwich Policy Area (NPA). If it is the case that the Strategic Growth Area effectively replaces the NPA then the plan should ensure that new allocations are focussed within that area, particularly the Cambridge Norwich Tech corridor part of it.

Question 9: Do you support, object, or have any comments relating to the approach to Housing set out in the Delivery Statement?

Representation ID: 21380

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Glavenhill Ltd

Agent: Stephen Flynn

Representation Summary:

The emphasis on the opportunity to "strengthen Greater Norwich's role as a key part of the national economy with the Cambridge Norwich Tech corridor becoming an increasingly important axis linking to two other nationally significant growth corridors" is supported. However, no evidence of delivery of the 36,000 commitments and existing allocations being carried forward is provided within this consultation. It is noted that 13,430 of the commitments are in the Growth Triangle where delivery has been slow to date.

Question 10: Do you support, object, or have any comments relating to the approach to Economic Development set out in the Delivery Statement?

Representation ID: 21381

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Glavenhill Ltd

Agent: Stephen Flynn

Representation Summary:

The Economic Development section of the Delivery Statement then fails to mention the Cambridge Norwich Tech Corridor at all. Support for and delivery of economic growth within this corridor as a particular focus of the growth strategy should be emphasised within this section if there is a real commitment to making this happen.

Agent: Stephen Flynn

Representation Summary:

We support the importance of early engagement with infrastructure providers and the delivery of required infrastructure to support growth.

Question 12: Do you support, object, or have any comments relating to the Climate Change Statement?

Representation ID: 21384

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Glavenhill Ltd

Agent: Stephen Flynn

Representation Summary:

The climate change statement is supported. However, Glavenhill Ltd consider that if the Growth Strategy includes 9% dispersal to small village clusters which could potentially be in the rural parts of South Norfolk and some within the rural parts of Broadland (outside of the old NPA) this is incompatible with the specified climate change ambitions, particularly insofar as they relate to reducing car and other journeys.
