Yes. The A12 corridor is where the highest concentration of existing services and facilities are located and it is one of the Council's corporate priorities that new planning policies help ensure that "we will have the right mix of homes in our towns and villages"It therefore follows that appropriate sites on the edge of the existing urban area should be released from the Green Belt. We would welcome the consideration
of suitable sites within this area, such as Nag's Head Lane, because they have the lowest propensity for landscape harm when compared with the alternative growth options as set out in the Interim Sustainability Appraisal (Interim SA). However, we would not consider it appropriate to take an 'all or nothing' approach to growth in the A12 corridor based on the growth options put forward in the Interim SA and that a combination of options may be appropriate by picking the best available sites.
