In regard to GNLP 0041, the officers say that given the site is already developed (and has been added to since the Reg 18 stage of the recommendations with a phone mast etc) "there is a case for its inclusion in the settlement limit and it is identified for further assessment for this....will be addressed for the Regulation 19 version of the plan." The site is already included in the Wroxham Conservation area which is noted in the Wroxham Neighbourhood Plan. We feel there is a strong case for its inclusion in this plan. This has NOT been done nor has the adopted Broadland DC Playing Pitch Strategy with regard to relocation been fully considered in our opinion.
Another club in our league in Norfolk (Gorleston FC) has already demonstrated there are funds available from the Football Foundation for a similar relocation, also Long Melford FC in Suffolk for a new pavilion. Both obtained over £600k from the FF; so the claim that substantial investment is required is accurate but those funds are available from the football funding body for the right types of application. Given the potential for a community football hub within the Growth triangle we believe there is a strong viable case for another Step 5 club within the National football pyramid to receive funding - GIVE US A CHANCE!
We have the support of Sport England/Norfolk FA and Wroxham Parish Council who stated the current site would be ideal for a retirement location as identified as being needed in the Neighbourhood Plan.
There doesn't seem to have been much co-operation with other authorities eg North Norfolk who have included sites for over 300 homes at Hoveton/Stalham/Ludham in their Draft Plan which will all need to use the transport infrastructure passing thro' Wroxham, a Key Service Centre. 20-30 additional homes in Wroxham would hardly seem to make much difference. For these reasons, we believe the recommendation not to include GNLP 00041 within the plan is unsound. With support, the proposed relocation for a much needed centre of football excellence is deliverable.
Include site GNLP0041 as a reasonable site in the GN Local Plan and incorporate it in the Wroxham settlement limit.
