A message from the Parish Council on the latest development in the VCHAP house building plan for Norfolk:
You will recall that some sites were deemed unsuitable in the overall plan, necessitating a shortfall to be addressed elsewhere. South Norfolk Council carried out a Focused Regulation 18 consultation on alternative sites in January 2024. This affected Alpington, as one of the alternative sites under consideration was for 12 houses on land south of Wheel Road, Alpington (reference SN0433). This was in addition to the preferred sites for 25 houses at Church Meadow, Alpington, and 25 houses at the old concrete works in Bergh Apton, already included under the VCHAP.
South Norfolk Council has confirmed that the Wheel Road, Alpington site is not included in its Regulation 19 Village Cluster Housing Allocation Plan Pre-submission Addendum document, which outlines a small number of new site allocations.
Thank you to those who made representations at the consultation stage.
