Received: 22/03/2021

Respondent: Orbit Homes

Agent: David Lock Associates

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

We note that the GNLP will not replace the existing adopted Area Action Plans and that following the adoption of the Reg 19 plan, there will be a large number of separate yet overlapping DPDs making up the statutory development plan for the area.
Having both policy and allocations set out in a number of separate documents (with different plan periods and dates of adoption) is not unusual. However, it can cause complexities for stakeholders in assessing and coming to an informed view about the overall sustainability and environmental impact of the ‘plan’ in its entirety if sites are being allocated in a number of plans concurrently
but not being assessed in terms of their total impact.
This is something that any Inspector may need to come to a view on through the Examination into the Reg 19 Plan and its accompanying SA. However, in the interim, it would be useful to aid understanding and provide clarity if Appendix 4 of the GNLP was expanded to provide a matrix/ ‘progress’ table of:
(a) the policies and allocations already adopted and what sites and developments are already committed under these policies.
(b) the development to be delivered under the other DPDs yet to be produced/Examined.
(c) what policies/sites are yet to be implemented through the AAPs.
In order to ensure that the full impact of the Reg 19 plan has been robustly assessed, we would welcome clarity from the GNDP as to how the cumulative SA testing of these plans with the Reg 19 plan has been undertaken.
3.9 Similarly, it may be worth setting out in both the plan and the Local Development Scheme (LDS) how the new settlement assessment process currently identified in paragraph 401 of the GNLP dovetails with the timescales for the various DPD adoptions (most notably, the South Norfolk Village Clusters document).

Representation on behalf of Orbit Homes, J Alston and Sons and Pelham Homes in relation to Silfield Garden Village.

The team led by Orbit Homes are generally supportive of the GNLP (Pre-submission) as currently drafted but consider that some aspects of the Pre-submission GNLP would benefit from amendment and/or further detail to ensure the GNLP meets the soundness test as set out at paragraph 35 of the NPPF. Please see the enclosed representation submission for details.

Respondent: Orbit Homes

Agent: David Lock Associates

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

We support the overall principles and statements of intent set out in section 3. However, we consider that as it stands, there is a ‘disconnect’ between these statements of intent and the way in which the Plan proposes these are to be delivered through the identification and allocation of locations/sites for new growth to 2038.

Most notably, we are concerned that the GNLP decisions around the scale and nature of new growth reflected in the currently proposed allocations do not support the Council’s objectives. Anew settlement or garden village model has the ability to achieve the change from ‘edge of
settlement piecemeal growth’ (that currently in the plan to 2038), to a net zero carbon emission development (the optimal way to deliver on the Council’s objectives and targets); continuing the focus on ‘edge growth’ to 2038 will not.

Change suggested by respondent:

In order to have a plan which is effective in its ability to deliver on its objectives – and therefore
be found sound - we suggest that a number of adjustments could be made to the Reg 19 Plan:

1. More emphasis on the Cambridge-Norwich Tech Corridor as a spatial influence and driver of sustainable growth and alignment with the GNLP spatial locations
for growth
2. Strengthening the GNLP policy framework to ensure a move to more sustainable transport modes and climate-resilient growth.
3. More Proactive Planning for a New Settlement
