Description
Introduction
Cringleford Town Council (CPC), located within the South Norfolk Council district, is seeking to appoint a consultant to assist in the review and re-write of the Cringleford Neighbourhood Development Plan (CNDP).
Background
The 2014 CNDP was one of the first Neighbourhood Development Plans (NDP) to be adopted nationally. This plan will expire in 2026 and therefore a review / rewrite is required to take effect from 2026. A desktop exercise was undertaken by a consultant followed by meetings between Councillors, in which the advantages and disadvantages of writing a new plan were considered. At its July 2024 meeting Council agreed to write a new plan.
Brief
CPC requires quotes from consultants suitably experienced in spatial planning, policy preparation, community engagement, national and local planning policies, and a good working knowledge of neighbourhood planning, to assist CPC with the project.
Cringleford Parish has already undergone considerable development and there are very few areas left where large-scale development can take place. However, one of our main aims in writing a new plan is to protect the Parish from further housing, and control redevelopment of existing stock via a Design Code that can based on defined areas of Cringleford using an up-to-date Character Appraisal and an up-to-date Housing Needs survey. Protecting local green spaces, whether parish or private, and views based on a Biodiveristy / Ecological survey of parish is a further requirement.
The review must also note and take into consideration the newly adopted Greater Norwich Local Plan and any significant strategy and policy changes that may be under current consideration by the UK Government.
A working group will be established to oversee the CNDP review. The Working Group will be made up of Parish Councillors, ideally with representatives of local community groups, and residents.
The working group will meet on a regular basis for the duration of the commission and will be responsible for managing the overall direction and progress of the assignment, ensuring that the commission is executed in accordance with the brief and that key deliverables are produced to the required quality and within the agreed timescale. It is expected that representatives of the consultant team will service these meetings.
