GNLP public consultation seeking views on potential development sites - see council document below for details and weblinks:

 

Greater Norwich Local Plan 

Regulation 18 Consultation – New, Revised and Small Sites
29 October – 14 December 2018

The Greater Norwich Local Plan (GNLP) is being produced by Broadland District Council, Norwich City Council and South Norfolk Council working together with Norfolk County Council through the Greater Norwich Development Partnership (GNDP).

Regulation 18 public consultation on New, Revised and Small Sites for the GNLP will commence at 9am on Monday 29 October and will close at 5pm on Friday 14 December 2018. 

We are seeking your views on new, revised and small sites put forward by landowners, agents and developers for consideration for future development in the GNLP.  You can find further information about the sites and make comments online at www.gnlp.org.uk .  It is very important to note that this is an early consultation stage and no final decisions have been made on any sites.

This current consultation follows an initial Regulation 18 consultation that took place between January and March 2018 which asked for views on more than 600 suggested sites and wider strategic planning issues.  More detail about this first stage of consultation can be found at www.gnlp.org.uk.  Approximately 240+ new sites or revisions to existing sites were put forward during the consultation and it is these sites that we are now asking for your views about.  In addition this current consultation also includes small sites below 0.25 hectares, which have not been consulted on previously.  Except for the sites we have been asked to revise, we are not consulting again on the sites we asked for your views on during the January to March 2018 consultation.  Only those parishes which contain new, revised or small sites are included in the current consultation.

A few key points should be noted about this latest consultation on sites:

  • An initial Housing and Economic Housing Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) has been undertaken for the newly submitted and revised sites which should help you make your comments.  Further detailed site assessment work will be needed before a site can be considered for allocation in the GNLP so the inclusion of a site as potentially suitable for development in the HELAA does not confer any planning status on that site, or any commitment it will brought forward for development.
  • Small sites below 0.25 hectares have not been included in the HELAA as they are below the site size threshold set in the methodology.  Due to their size the small sites are not proposed to be allocated individually in the plan, instead we will consider them in the context of extending/altering settlement boundaries to allow for smaller scale development to come forward.
  • Far more land has been submitted for consideration than will be needed in the GNLP.  Many sites will be inappropriate for allocation due to constraints (such as landscape, flood risk, poor access to service etc.) and others, whilst not unacceptable in principle, will be less suitable for allocation than “competitor” sites.  Growth will be carefully planned to ensure it is located in the most appropriate locations and will be supported by appropriate and timely infrastructure provision.
  • The current list of sites will need to be refined.  Some sites, or parts of sites, have been submitted twice (once by the landowner and once by a land promoter/agent), some sites are already allocated in an adopted local plan and have been resubmitted (perhaps with requests to change the allocation boundary, to update adopted policy clauses or alter the mix of development types proposed) and some sites may now have planning permission.
  • It is also possible that further sites will be promoted during the production of the GNLP.

Hard copies of consultation documents and maps are available to view at the following deposit points:

  • Norfolk County Council, County Hall, Martineau Lane, Norwich (main reception)
  • Norwich City Council, City Hall, St Peters Street, Norwich (2nd floor reception)
  • Broadland District Council, Thorpe Road, Thorpe St Andrew (main reception)
  • South Norfolk Council, Cygnet Court, Long Stratton (main reception)

The quickest and easiest way to respond to the consultation is online at www.gnlp.org.uk but if you are unable to respond online please email your comments to gnlp@norfolk.gov.uk or contact us on 01603 306603 to request a response form.  You can also email or phone us if you need consultation information in large print, audio, Braille, an alternative format or a different language.  All responses must be received by 5pm on Friday 14 December 2018.

Kind regards

Mike Burrell

3 new sites for Spooner row , drill down to South Norfolk section where proposals can be seen and if registered you can comment upon !!

Proposal for new houses behind the existing houses in School lane , a massive development east and west of the railway line and following the line of the river !! and 30 new houses along Station road and end of Queens st where it meets Station road behind the new ones already ( stupidly) granted permission

I have objected to all 3

To help, click on https://gnlp.jdi-consult.net/localplan/readdoc.php?docid=41&chapter=5&docelemid=d8549#d8549  which will take you to the list of proposed new sites, then scroll down the list until you reach 'Spooner Row'. There are 3 new sites for Spooner Row reference no's: GNLP 2082, GNLP 2101 and GNLP 2181.  When on the GNLP website click on theacrobat reader & View Map icons to view the site details and the maps (there are no street names, but you can still work it out).

If you want to comment you will need to register (if not already registered), which can be done at the section above the list of proposed new sites on the same web page.

As we still do not have a 5 year land supply this whole process and the Planners themselves need to question their existence becuase the developers just carry regardless and don't give a stuff for local views aided and abetted by a cash short District council who simply say they are doing the Govt bidding.

The announcement this afternoon from the Chancellor no doubt will simply re enforce this view and he will claim that they are building affordable homes , when in fact no one can afford them

They are ruining this village, it will be unrecognisable when they have finished.

One of the sites is 77.26 ha and covers a very significant area of the village and will impact almost all residents. Spooner Row will become a town. I am quite outraged by the online summary provided, as Spooner Row has already been identified for further growth (by planners who live elsewhere), it is not a situation of 'if' as several planning applications (with multiple houses) have already been permitted. The village remains without adequate infrastructure and services, and it looks like that will continue with this weak summary:

To conclude, if Spooner Row is identified for further growth, the additional sites offer some options for housing (and possibly provision of services) at different scales.

I completely agree with the last post the village will be ruined. I know nothing stays the same and change happens however to build to such an extent will ruin the village, it won't be a village just an extension of Wymondham and will join Wymondham in time.

Also hardly any will be affordable I expect...

When I moved to South Norfolk I moved here because of its rural and attractive countryside and well-being. I didn't move here to be part of 'Greater Norwich' where large-scale house building would be the result of the district council not having control over the number of houses that are built. A perpetual 5-year housing supply 'need' has become the norm and that 'need' is never met unless you are a local person wanting to build one sustainable property such as Top Common, then it is refused. This is all wrong. This public consultation is ''Greater Norwich' going through the necessary motions, its local plans will be ignored as they are now, and real 'local' community needs will not be met. 

Norfolk is well-known for its poor roads, what is 'Greater Norwich' doing about this?

PLEASE NOTE that the closing date for the above GNLP Consultation is the 14th December.   Sites proposed include those for Spooner Row as well as for Wymondham and the 'New Garden Village'  for 6,500 houses at Park Farm, Silfield.

It looks like Spooner Row is no longer classified as a Norwich Service Village but instead as 'Other Village (with accessible primary school)' under the GNDP. I wonder if this means the allocated development sites for Spooner Row will be limited in the future? - there has been a lot put forward as possible sites for consideration under the emerging Greater Norwich Local Plan. Spooner Row should never have been allocated as a Norwich Service Village in the first place, particularly as this was decided without public consultation and we do not have the infrastructure that was claimed. If my interpretation of this reclassification is correct, then I think this is a good thing for the village.  See Appendix 3 and Table - there's no need to sign in to view the document:  https://gnlp.jdi-consult.net/localplan/readdoc.php?docid=12&chapter=11&docelemid=d4549#d4549

With the thousands of new homes destined for Wymondham and the Norwich area, what is the GNDP doing about increasing the bed numbers at the hospital as it can't cope now? Also in the news today, it said that a record number of GP surgeries are closing down throughout the country. A large number of new houses in this area without an increase in GP's will impact on us all.

The answer to this is somewhat surprising. Hospitals size in Govt issue although advised by Local Authorities and the Planners. I think an increase is required but there appears to be very limited scope to put pressure on to do this.

The Director of Place for South norfolk and Broadland Phil Courtier outlined at a briefing we had the other day that Medical Practices are even worse because the larger the number of patients on their books the more money they get ( paid per head) So any pressure to provide another surgery, assuming we have the staff to man it is not actually welcomed. 

They are his words and not mine so please do not shoot the messenger

Thanks, Julian.

This really isn't on. Local Authorities and Planners get to make a big financial gain from all the new houses, yet we don't get the hospital services needed for a growing population. Being ill and stuck in a hospital corridor, on a trolly is no joke.

It isn't good enough that GP services are also not increased in line with extra people moving into the area. It is more than just about GP's getting paid per head, we deserve better access to a doctor and reduced waiting times to obtain an appointment, which is getting worse. The GNDP should put the pressure on the Govt to ensure proper NHS provision is made rather than brush it aside as someone else's fault and responsibility.

More people should speak out about this. When you are seriously ill you will want adequate services there to help you!

Following the above comments, I was reminded of an objection in a recent planning application which I think sums up this whole unsatisfactory state of affairs :

 

" Whilst I appreciate the need for housing,  the seemingly reckless and cavalier way development is taking place does not seem to reach any notion of sustainability for a healthy, thriving, community.

  It delivers a cynical, worn down Community, who are not getting the education, and health care in a local way as they should."

I notice in the latest SNC's Link publication (Summer 2019) the Message from the Leader included that new jobs, new homes, and new infrastructure will all delivered in the right order. That doesn't appear to have happened like that in Spooner Row. Its all about new homes, new homes, and new homes. Where's the infrastructure to the new jobs he speaks of? There's currently a strong need to sort out the daily congestion at Thickthrorn roundabout and improve the NHS provision.
