Long Stratton

365

Owing to the scale of the existing commitment in Long Stratton, which will both provide a bypass (see paragraph 230) and the growth of services supporting its classification as a main town, this plan does not make further allocations in addition to Long Stratton’s Area Action Plan (AAP). Evidence113 shows that the scale of the commitment means that parts of the site allocated in the AAP will not be delivered until after 2038.  There may be further potential capacity for development within the existing allocation, beyond the 1,875 homes that are the subject of current planning applications; however, these would be unlikely to be delivered until late in the plan period, or beyond.

The AAP identifies some infrastructure capacity constraints, particularly in relation to Long Stratton Water Recycling Centre, although Anglian Water plans to increase capacity to serve growth.  The GNLP is not intended to replace the AAP, which may therefore be reviewed separately later to address the delivery of additional housing in Long Stratton, if required.
