1.1 This is the second document that makes up the Greater Norwich Local Plan. It contains planning allocations for the sites to deliver the strategy, including undeveloped allocations carried forward from the Broadland, Norwich and South Norfolk Local Plans. The sites document identifies and allocates strategic housing and mixed-use sites as well as strategic sites for employment. Other allocations provide housing sites and sites for other uses (including employment, recreation, open space, and community uses) to meet the strategic needs set out in the GNLP Strategy, without being strategic in themselves.
1.2 The first section of this document contains the strategic allocations and the remainder is then organised according to the settlement hierarchy by:
- Norwich and the fringe parishes.
- Main towns.
- Key service centres.
- Broadland village clusters.
- Non-residential allocations in South Norfolk.
- Gypsy and Traveller sites are grouped together at the end of the document.
1.3 Maps and site policies are included for all allocated sites.
1.4 This document does not contain any residential sites in smaller South Norfolk villages as South Norfolk Council are preparing a separate village clusters plan covering new and carried forward sites for housing in their village clusters. The GNLP has considered non-residential sites in South Norfolk villages.
1.5 As this is a strategic plan, with the exception of some high density city centre sites, sites of less than 0.5 hectares and those proposed as settlement boundary extensions have not been included.
