Respondent: Norwich City Council
The safeguarded Trowse Railhead and adjacent Lafarge plant are located in east Norwich adjacent to the Deal Ground site (allocated in Norwich's Site Allocations Plan under policy R9, with extant consent for 670 units of housing) and in close proximity to other allocated sites including the Utilities site (R10), Gothic Works (R11), and Land adjacent to the Football club (CC16 - part developed). The adopted Joint Core Strategy identifies east Norwich as a priority for regeneration in policy JCS12. Whilst the need to safeguard the railhead under policy MP10 is accepted, the minerals and waste local plan should acknowledge its proximity to sensitive residential users and to the Deal Ground and other sites with major regeneration potential including Carrow Works. This could be acknowledged in the explanatory text for MW2 and/or MP10.
