Question 12: Policy WP3 'land uses potentially suitable for waste management facilities'
Representation ID: 92147
Received: 13/08/2018
Respondent: Norwich City Council
The explanatory text for Policy WP3 states that modern waste management facilities can require purpose built buildings and structures that are suited to industrial areas, however this is not reflected in the text of the policy itself. It would be helpful to add clarification into the policy wording, to require that waste management activities should take place within purpose designed facilities where appropriate - this would apply particularly to criteria (b) and (c), ie. land either in existing B2/B8 use or allocated as such.

Question 36: Policy MP10 'safeguarding of port and rail facilities, and facilities for the manufacture of concrete, asphalt and recycled materials'
Representation ID: 92149
Received: 13/08/2018
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.
