On behalf of Colney parish, Colney committee have considered the plans, and would like it noted that they fully endorse the consultation response submitted by CPRE Norfolk regarding the plan.

We therefore request that the actual zoning in the final GNLP be altered to where the proposed accommodation is being advanced. But we reserve the right to object to any proposals for this particular area on the grounds that it is outside the development boundary which we wish to protect along the lines of the Parish Plan.

Colney Parish Meeting is pleased to offer comments on the proposed zoning for the land surrounding Colney Hall as part of the Greater Norwich Development Plan consultation.

According to the provisions in the attached map of the site, this area is zoned for “older people’s accommodation”.

The actual area identified for this purpose is misleading as it contains historic parkland outside the development boundary.

Only the Hall itself and a small area of land to the west of the drive would be available for this use.

The owner has told us he intends to build specialised housing on the former rose garden. This is the area at the top of the drive with a semi-circular shape on its northern boundary.

This suggested area is outside the development boundary of the Parish. The Parish Committee wishes to protect this development boundary and will only support proposals which satisfy the agreed purposes of its Parish Plan.
