Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy
Representation ID: 19866

Respondent: Dr Matthew Tomlinson
The draft plan only pays lip service to the environmental consequences of this dramatic expansion. In many areas valuable natural areas are proposed to be fit for development rather than agricultural land. The proposed expansion of roads and consequent traffic has the implication for driving climate change rather than curbing it. The lack of sustainability in the draft plan needs to be addressed for a more secure future for Norwich residents.
