Received: 26/11/2018

Respondent: Costessey Town Council

Representation Summary:

Costessey TC could support a regional facility such as a concert hall, Exhibition Centre (eg like the NEC in Birmingham) on this site, but NOT residential development or light industrial use. CTC would prefer to keep the use as a Showground as it is an important facility in East Anglia. NB: Food hub is proposed further out along the A47 with potentially a new town. CTC could not support new dwellings further dwellings on this site as the road access is difficult as evidenced by the congestion on the existing Longwater interchange.
