Mr Paul Leeming Carter Jonas Harrogate 10 10.01 Agree Mr Robert King Mr. neil blackshaw Mr Ed Chambers Croxton Parish Council Thetford 10 10.01 Comment Thetford healthy town programme Thetford 10 10.01 Disagree Thetford Town Council THETFORD 10 10.03 Comment Mr Paul Leeming Carter Jonas Harrogate 11 11.01 Comment Mr Paul Leeming Carter Jonas Harrogate 11 11.01 Comment We generally agree with the mini-vision set out in Section 10 Vision and Objectives. It would be appropriate for the reference to the Planning Performance Agreements (PPA) to also reflect that the two landowners and their representatives are highly supportive of the use of such agreements. Such documents do not constitute legally binding contracts but oblige the parties to work in partnership and collaborate to determine and bring forward complex development proposals in a timely manner. Agree. Refresh section as per rep. Residents (both Croxton & Thetford) feel there has been inadequate consultation/discussion between developers (Pigeon) and this Parish Comments noted. As part of the planning application, there Council or the residents and that they are in fact not listening to the must be proof of how BDC's Statement of Community many concerns raised. Involvement have been followed. Raise at PPA discussions. A clear statement is required as to how the development in the SUE will be controlled and managed over the long term - 20 years. The policy framework currently provided by the CS and the TAAP is simply not adequate to achieve the certainty of outcome that is required. The PPA is not the vehicle to achieve quality of design, housing targets etc etc; it is, as this section states merely to guide the process. This section should specify the content of the outline Disagree. The issues raised here could duplicate the local list, planning application and indicate what information will be required as policy requirements in the Core Strategy and eventually the a means of determining the application. The conditions imposed on TAAP and that is really what the PPA is for. The PPA will also the outline will have to be supported by clear policy. In our view there bring forward specific site issues that are not yet understood are significant gaps in the policy framework which cannot be through the TAAP process. The Draft Final TAAP provides a remedied during the application process and must therefore be clear direction for the policy framework and it will be amended incorporated in the TAAP. The masterplan does not provide a sound and revised as a result of the responses we received and or adequate basis for a conditional planning approval. The further developing evidence base - as such there is a clear policy amendments suggested by THTP are aimed at strengthening the framework emerging and at an advanced stage. We will be policy framework. taking on board comments from THTP if there is merit to do so. No further action. The Committee notes that the statements set out on page 35 fail to set out how a larger, distinctive community might be delivered. Detailed arrangements for the provision of standard ‘third tier' services are not spelt out. No suggested precepting mechanism is clearly stated. We have concerns in relation to the approach taken with regards to the Thetford Enterprise Park (TEP) as suggested in para 11.10. This is muddled and states that the TAAP will make provision for 40ha in the Urban Extension including the TEP; the TEP is not part of the SUE and is an existing site with planning permission. To some extent this reflects our concerns regarding the structure of the TAAP document which mixes town wide issues with those pertaining to the SUE. We would also suggest that this approach is not consistent with the Core Strategy Policy CP3 (E) as outlined above which suggests that some 30-40ha strategic employment land should come forward within Thetford. Comment noted. Comments noted. This version of the TAAP was drafted October/November 2010 and the PPA has moved on considerably since then. As such we can expand this section of the TAAP accordingly. Detailed delivery issues and responsibilities will be thrashed out through the PPA. We will add Keystone to the delivery partner list. We will improve the community section of the TAAP such as integration. Refresh PPA section and improve community section. Reference to the TEP will be improved and made clearer. On this basis to accord with the Core Strategy would suggest that an additional 12-22ha of strategic employment land needs to be provided through the TAAP (once the TEP is accounted for). A most recent land use schedule (February 2011) suggests that the quantity of employment land will amount to 22.6ha split over the various phases and will therefore accord with the Core Strategy requirement. Disagree. The strategy for the TAAP is to allocate that 22 Ha We would suggest that in addressing this issue it may be appropriate within the Urban Extension as stated in the representation. This for the TAAP to include a Plan wide policy to demonstrate how it will is covered within Policy TH13. The approach to existing satisfy the employment requirement set out in the Core Strategy. employment land is covered in Policy TH40. No further action.

There should be a new policy that addresses the housing provision in the SUE, specifically; Each phase is expected to provide a mix of housing type, size and affordability. Affordable housing should be to the same standard as comparable market housing. There should be no more than 10 contiguous units of affordable housing. All housing should be designed to lifetime homes standard and a proportion to wheelchair standard. Proposals will be expected to show a mix of housing provision that can be demonstrated to cater for all age groups in each phase of development compatible with the Lifetime Neighbourhood concept. Proposal for gated housing areas will not be approved REASONS The proportion and type of affordable housing and the mix are reliant on high level policies in the CS . There are no specific policies in the TAAP which is an unacceptable weakness. The CS refers to the housing needs but no attempt has been made to specify what these are in Thetford as things stand. It is accepted that demand may change and that there needs to be flexibility and that too rigid a policy would not be appropriate. However, without more specific policy-based requirements there is a high risk that the aim of a balanced community will not be achieved due to market and other pressures. We note that the proposed masterplan, as displayed in Map 11.1, shows "formal and semi-natural parkland" covering the scheduled monument at Gallows Hill, with Table 11.2 showing the draft land-use amounts. It is not clear from the table whether "amenity open space" includes the scheduled monument or whether the monument is excluded from the land-use breakdown. Clarification on this point Land use budget and masterplan need refreshing in light of all would be welcomed. comments received. Comment noted and the TAAP will clarify. Liaise with landowners and ensure the land use budget shows the desired information. Has the potential for land supply difficulties identified by site investigations been taken into account in the development phasing Revisit trajectory to ensure and housing trajectory? Has a contingency plan been defined to deal The Housing Trajectory needs to be revisited to ensure consistency with masterplan with land supply difficulties? How flexible and amenable are phasing consistency with the masterplan and phasing. Contingency is to phasing. Amend section 9 re Core plans to potential land supply difficulties? look at Core strategy review. Strategy review. We note the proposed phasing of the urban extension in Map 11.2. It would be beneficial if the gradual development of the urban extension could be linked to the regeneration of the town centre, to ensure that development on the edge of Thetford does not outstrip efforts to improve the town centre. Certain targets could be employed based on numbers of houses delivered in the urban extension linked to specific developments and improvements within the town centre. I disagree with this analysis. Surely the local landscape character is very much of large woodland blocks around a significant sector of the town. Reference (para 11.15) is made to the setting of buildings at Kilverstone Hall but makes no mention of setting of the Gallows Hill Scheduled Monument. Noted. Para 11.19 should make reference to the use of green roofs across the plan area. Representation raises some valid points, but this is best covered off as part of the PPA. Current best practice is to 'pepper pot' affordable housing and make the development tenure blind. At present there is no further local evidence beyond that which informed the Core Strategy. Unreasonable to restrict and constrain the delivery of homes and jobs by linking them to redevelopment and regeneration proposals which are beyond the control of the Urban Extension site owners / developers. The TAAP encourages and facilitates the early delivery of the Town Centre regeneration to meet existing needs as well as arising needs by positively identifying redevelopment opportunities; having a supportive and flexible approach to town centre planning and by restricting the quantity of town centre uses at out of town locations. No further action. This refers to looking into the town. Open landscape refers to the agricultural fields. No further action. No further action for the TAAP but feed comments to PPA process. Expand para 11.15 to cross refer to TH4 and TH5. There is specific evidence for a green roof area within the Urban Extension from the GI Study which is what the TAAP reflects. This is a specific response to a specific piece of evidence. BDC as a LPA is very supportive of green construction and through Core Strategy policy DC16 we allow for good and sustainable design. No further action. National guidance on best practice for the design of streets and roads published by the Government. Add as footnote or in glossary.
