POLICY 7.3 - THE KEY SERVICE CENTRES (underlined in the original)
The Key Service Centres of Acle, Blofield, Brundall, Hethersett, Hingham, Loddon / Chedgrave, Poringland / Framingham Earl, Reepham and Wroxham will continue to be developed to enhance their function as places to live and providers of employment and services to serve the settlement and its hinterland, with significant levels of development expected to take place in the majority of centres. This will provide for a minimum of 3,6793,812 additional homes and sites for 11.8 hectares of employment / commercial land and related infrastructure.
The main areas for development are:

The sites to meet the above targets are in the GNLP Sites document.
Other residential development will be acceptable elsewhere within settlement boundaries subject to meeting the criteria of other policies in the development plan.
Additional sites may be provided in Key Service Centres by:
- Development within settlement boundaries; or
- Affordable rural exception sites, which may include an element of market housing (including self/custom build) if necessary for viability. These sites should be adjacent or well related to settlement boundaries with good access to services, including safe routes to schools, subject to other policies of the local plan.

Other small-scale employment development will be acceptable in principle elsewhere in the key service centres subject to meeting other policies in the development plan.
Enhancements to the multi-functional green infrastructure network will be provided by development to contribute to the strategic network as set out in maps 8A and B and to linking local networks.
