Village Clusters Development Plan

South Norfolk District Council have issued their draft proposals for new housing in our area as part of the Great Norwich Local Plan. There are two sites indicated in Bressingham as suitable for development plus one other site short-listed as possible if needed. These are shown on the plan below.
This is currently a consultation policy so is open to change. We have until the 2nd August to submit a response. If you have any comments and wish to make them direct to South Norfolk this must be made via the questionnaire on the South Norfolk website. The form can be found by going to:www.southnorfolkandbroadland.gov.uk/emerging-local-plan/south-norfolk-village-clusters-housing-allocations-plan and following the links.
The Parish Council will be making formal representation to the District council and would welcome opinions from residents. Please forward your comments by email to the Parish Clerk (bandf.pc@outlook.com) so we can collate them into our response.
