Greater Norwich Local Plan

NEW! Click here to read the comments which have been submitted by Forncett Parish Council (Added 16/03/18)

All of what follows is a summary gleaned from the web-site and a meeting for Parish Council reps. Hopefully correct ... but no guarantees! The GNLP team have recently said 'we are currently working on making some improvements to the website' - so some details of how to locate items may be subject to change.

Over recent years we have had various South Norfolk Development Plans. This Greater Norwich Local Plan encompasses Broadland, South Norfolk, Norwich City (in collaboration with Norfolk County Council) and, if adopted, will supersede all individual plans and last until 2036.

Everything you need to know at www.gnlp.org.uk ... but you might need patience to find your way around the site ... so read on!

Various 'Roadshows' are being held throughout the area: the one at South Norfolk Council Offices is Thursday 22nd February 10.30 am to 4.30 pm

Public consultation on 'Regulation 18' - the 'juicy bit' about development priorities, preferred sites etc - finishes on Thursday 15th March (NOW EXTENDED TO THURSDAY 22nd MARCH). Express your views online (preferred) or phone 01603 306603 to get a 'paper' response form. In summer 2019 at 'Regulation 19' draft plan will be produced. If approved by the District Councils, the government inspector and the Government it should become 'the plan' in late 2020.

The Old Sale Yard site

Written by Richard Ball / Brian Frith.

Update 21st March.

At the Parish Council meeting on 20th March, the representatives of the developers explained the reasons for the major changes in the layout since outline approval was granted.  After many questions and queries from the 14 or so members of the public present, the Parish Council discussed and summarised its views for submission to South Norfolk Council. These comments can be read here.

Update 17th March.

We have now heard that representaives of the Developers will be coming to the Parish Council meeting on 20th March to describe and discuss the plans, in the 'Public Open Session - at about 7.40 pm.

Update March 2014.

The site is now cleared and the developers (Bennett Homes) have put forward detailed plans for the development, following the outline permission granted some time ago.

There are still 17 houses, but the main change from the outline scheme is that the access to the site will be using the entrance formerly used by CPS, rather than the disused 'side entrance' round the corner towards Long Stratton.
