Policy BRU2: Land north of Berryfields, Brundall
5.22 This site was allocated in the 2016 Broadland Local Plan and it is intended to carry this allocation forward, recognising the public benefit in providing informal open space. There is a shortage of recreational space to meet the existing needs in Brundall and this was to be provided for through the two allocations (BRU2 and BRU3) that are carried forward from the preceding Local Plan. Both sites now have planning permissions for residential development that include the provision of open space that exceeds the normal requirements of a residential development, and so would contribute to the delivery of open space provision to meet the needs of the community, albeit in an alternative form than that in the allocations. However, the delivery of the residential developments, and the open space provision within them, is not guaranteed. Therefore at this time there remains an open space shortage and so the continued open space allocations are justified.
5.23 The site was also promoted through the local plan process as GNLP0325. It now has a permission for 155 dwellings and a supermarket which includes alternative provision for recreation (reference: 20161483). These dwellings have been counted in the plan's commitment figures.
Policy BRU2
Land north of Berryfields, Brundall (approx. 7.3 ha) is allocated for recreational open space.
The development will be expected to address the following specific matters:
1. Vehicular access from Berryfields.2. Footway provision on the northern side of Berryfields and a suitable crossing may be required.3. Adequate landscaping and green infrastructure should be provided with a particular emphasis on retaining existing trees and hedging where possible.4. The open space will be primarily for formal recreation uses such as playing pitches.
Reasons
The site has planning permission for residential development. Policy deleted as it is not justified following discussion at the hearing sessions

Policy BRU3: Land east of the Memorial Hall, Brundall
5.24 This site was allocated in the 2016 Broadland Local Plan and it is intended to carry this allocation forward, recognising the public benefit in providing informal open space. There is a shortage of recreational space to meet the existing needs in Brundall and this was to be provided for through the two allocations (BRU2 and BRU3) that are carried forward from the preceding Local Plan.

However, the delivery of the residential developments, and the open space provision within them, is not guaranteed. Therefore at this time there remains an open space shortage and so the continued open space allocations are justified.
5.25 The site was also promoted through the local plan process as GNLP0436. It now has a permission, granted at appeal, for up to 170 dwellings with alternative provision for open space (reference 20171386). These dwellings have not been counted in the plan's commitment figures at this stage as the appeal decision was received after the 31st March 2020.
