Regulation 14 Consultation: Policies
Vision
By 2038 Horsford will be a flourishing rural village, within a short distance of Norwich. New development has completed the growth of the village to its natural sustainable limits. Improved, and access to new, green infrastructure links means people can enjoy and connect with the surrounding woodland and countryside. New homes that have been delivered are a range of high quality homes, and new community, sport and recreation facilities have been delivered alongside them. There continues to be thriving local businesses, and quality modern services which meet the day-to-day needs of the village. Access to services and facilities have been improved and, alongside highway improvements to better manage traffic, this means there are now safe and pleasant ways to reach them by active travel. Horsford is now a sustainable and more self-sufficient place where people want to live and work into the future.
Introduction to Land Use Policies
- The following policies relate to the development and use of land in the designated Neighbourhood Area of Horsford Parish. They focus on specific planning matters that are of greatest interest to the local community.
- There are many parts of the Parish that are not affected by these policies, and there are many other policy matters that have been left to the adopted GNLP and/or Broadland Development Management DPD. Many matters are already appropriately dealt with through existing national and strategic provisions. This has avoided unnecessary repetition of policies between this Neighbourhood Plan and the adopted Local Plans, though they have a mutual, helpful inter-dependence.
- Each policy is numbered and titled, and it is shown in bold. Where necessary, the area to which it will apply is shown on the Policies Map attached to the document. After each policy is some supporting text that explains the purpose of the policy, how it will be applied and, where helpful, how it relates to other development plan policies.
