Policy 7.5 Small Scale Windfall Housing Development

Respondent: Trustees of Richard Gurney Children's Settlement

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

Policy 7.5 is not positively prepared or justified as it does not take account of the disparate characteristics of the 'smaller parishes' and 'larger parishes' in Greater Norwich. Within the larger parishes group highly sustainable settlements where at least up to 9 dwellings could be accommodated, for instance those in the Norwich Urban Fringe.

The recently published Builder Better Commission report and the Government's Design Code Template encourage development that respond to local area characteristics.

Change suggested by respondent:

Policy 7.5 should be modified to include a new category of parishes: those which are within the Norwich Urban Fringe, with this category permitting up to 9 dwellings.

Full text:

There are insufficient small sites in Sprowston, and Policy 7.5 is inadequate to meet this need. See summaries for full detail.
