The Local Plan for the Broads: Issues and Options Consultation

Norwich City

Norwich

City

The Broads part of Norwich is the river only as it flows through the centre of the City. But to the east, there are some built up areas. Cremorne Lane for example is an area of housing. The Utilities Site is an area of brownfield land that is allocated for mixed use in the current local plan.  Close/adjoining the main settlement. Limited impact from flood risk.

Great Yarmouth

Great Yarmouth Borough

Main town

There are some dwellings on Riverwalk, to the south of Bure Park, near to the permission for dwellings and residential moorings. To the north of Gapton Hall Retail Park is some more urban uses, more industrial.  Close/adjoining the main settlement. Seems all of the Broads part is at risk of flooding.

Beccles

Waveney

Market Town

To the east of the River Waveney are some dwellings, hotel and the Lido. There is also Hipperson’s Boatyard. And Morrison’s and fuel station.  Close/adjoining the main settlement. Nearer to the road, no risk of flooding, but nearer to the water, flood risk. The incremental impacts of even small-scale developments or activities can ultimately have cumulative adverse effects on the local landscape character.

Thorpe St Andrew

Broadland

Fringe Parish

There are areas of housing and pubs. There are development boundaries in place already. Close/adjoining the main settlement. Some of the area at risk of flooding. No obvious changes to the existing development boundary.

Loddon

South Norfolk

Key Service Centre

There are some dwellings along Mill Road and Pyes Mill Road, but these are some distance from the main area of Loddon. There is also the Loddon Boatyard. Other than the boatyard, Mill Road and Pyres Mill Road tends not to be at risk of flooding.

Oulton Broad

Waveney

Main Town

There are areas of housing and pubs and shops. There are development boundaries in place already. The scheme at the former Pegasus boatyard site has permission. Close/adjoining the main settlement. Some of the area at risk of flooding. No obvious changes to the existing development boundary.

Hoveton

North Norfolk

Small Growth Town

There are areas of housing, shops, boatyards and pubs. There are development boundaries in place already. There is also an allocation on Station Road in the current Local Plan. Close/adjoining the main settlement. Some of the area at risk of flooding. No obvious changes to the existing development boundary.

Brundall

Broadland

Key Service Centre

Boatyards and residential to the south of the railway. Entire areas subject to policies in the Local Plan already. Over the railway from the main settlement. Most of the riverside area is at risk of flooding.

Bungay

Waveney

Service Centre

Built up areas to the south of the River Waveney, especially along Bridge Street. Close/adjoining the main settlement. Development likely to have adverse effects on landscape character.

Wroxham

Broadland

Key Service Centre

There are areas of housing, shops, boatyards and pubs. There are development boundaries in place already. Close/adjoining the main settlement. Some of the area at risk of flooding. No obvious changes to the existing development boundary.

Trowse with Newton

South Norfolk

Fringe Parish

Ski centre, campsite and a few dwellings along Whitlingham Lane somewhat separated from the main settlement. Flood risk to the west of the Lane. No obvious extensions to the neighbouring LPA’s settlement boundary.

Coltishall

Broadland

Village cluster

Dwellings and pubs along Anchor Street and Wroxham Road somewhat separated from the main settlement.  Tends to be limited flood risk away from the river.  Quite sensitive having a conservation area etc.

Reedham

Broadland

Village cluster

Dwellings, pubs and retail along the Riverside. Close/adjoining the main settlement. Some flood risk mainly up to the road itself. Visual impacts of built development could detract from the perceived naturalness and tranquillity of the area

Ditchingham Dam

Waveney

Open Countryside

North of the River Waveney, with some dwellings and business park. Over the river from the main settlement of Bungay. Most the area at risk of flood zone 2.

Ditchingham

South Norfolk

Village cluster

Ditchingham Maltings development, with some other dwellings near the Yarmouth Road/Ditchingham Dam roundabout. Also, sports facilities. Over the A143 from the main settlement. Limited flood risk issue – flood zone 2 if there is a risk.

Chedgrave

South Norfolk

Key Service Centre

Dwellings and boatyards to the north of the River Chet, and off Wherry Close. Close/adjoining the main settlement. Flood risk an issue for most of the built-up area.

Horning

North Norfolk

Small growth village

There are areas of housing, shops, boatyards and pubs. There are development boundaries in place already close/adjoining the main settlement. Some of the area at risk of flooding. No obvious changes to the existing development boundary. Capacity issues at Horning Water Recycling Centre a constraint.

Stalham Staithe

North Norfolk

Small Growth Town

There are areas of housing, shops, boatyards and pubs. Over the A149 from the main settlement. Some flood risk nearer the boatyard/river.  Proximity of A149, settlement and large boatyards make this area less sensitive.  Policy STA1 includes some landscape requirements which would help safeguard landscape character.

Ludham

North Norfolk

Large Growth Villages

Some boatyards and dwellings around Womack Water. Away from the main settlement. Most of the built-up areas are at risk of flooding. Womack water has special qualities which would be vulnerable to further development

Cantley

Broadland

Village cluster

Some dwellings along Station Road which are close/adjoining the main settlement as well as the Sugar Beat Factory. Parts of Station Road and parts of the Factory not at risk of flooding.

Filby

Great Yarmouth

Secondary Village

Dwellings and pubs to the west of Thrigby Road. Generally, the settlement is linear in nature. Generally, nearer the road, no flood risk, but nearer the Broad, tends to be at risk of flooding.
