Preferred Options consultation document

Representation ID: 98281

Received: 30/10/2019

Respondent: Broadland District Council

Representation Summary:

Whilst Neighbourhood Plans do not deal with Minerals and Waste matters directly, it is important to note that several of the proposed sites are within areas that have emerging neighbourhood plans. The final content of those plans are not yet known to establish if there is any conflict between the sites identified, but it is worth noting that the following sites are affected by this;
MIN 96 - land at Grange Farm, between Spixworth Road and Coltishall Lane, Spixworth
Given the points made above, the production of the Minerals and Waste Plan should have due regard to emerging Neighbourhood Plans within the district.

Whilst Neighbourhood Plans do not deal with Minerals and Waste matters directly, it is important to note that several of the proposed sites are within areas that have emerging neighbourhood plans. The final content of those plans are not yet known to establish if there is any conflict between the sites identified, but it is worth noting that the following sites are affected by this;

MIN 37 - land east of Coltishall Road, Buxton
MIN 64 - land at Grange Farm, Buxton Road, Horstead
MIN 96 - land at Grange Farm, between Spixworth Road and Coltishall Lane, Spixworth

I also note that MIN 213 - land at Mansom Plantation, Stratton Strawless is adjacent to Hevingham Park Project 8 in West Broadland GI Project Plan. If this project is carried out then there may prove to be a conflict in relation to increased traffic and activity in this area.

Given the points made above, the production of the Minerals and Waste Plan should have due regard to emerging Neighbourhood Plans within the district.
