Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 20446

Received: 07/03/2020

Respondent: Mireille Heald

Representation Summary:

I support the shift away from cars.
This is incompatible with building the Norwich Western Link and A47 dualling. The phenomenon of induced traffic when building new road infrastructure is well known.
These projects are very expensive and money could be much better spent on upgrading single carriageways across the valley and providing public transport and cycle infrastructure.
Promised mass transit on the NDR should also be provided before building new roads is considered.
