The South Norfolk Village Clusters Housing Allocations Plan (VCHAP) Regulation 19 Pre-submission Addendum will be published between 9am on Monday 12 August and 5pm on Monday 7 October 2024, in accordance with Regulation 19 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012. Representations are invited on the legal compliance and soundness of the Plan. Any representations submitted must be received by South Norfolk Council within this timeframe.
The purpose of the VCHAP is to deliver growth that will support the vitality of the rural communities of South Norfolk. Following the Regulation 19 Publication in 2023 one of the proposed sites was no longer considered deliverable and another needed to be reduced in scale, which led to a shortfall in the overall target number of new homes (minimum of 1,200).
The proposed Addendum includes the additional and amended sites proposed for allocation within the VCHAP to address this shortfall. The document also includes a number of other focused changes to the proposed VCHAP. The published document only deals with the changes that are being proposed to the Regulation 19 VCHAP document that was published in 2023.
