Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 20449

Received: 07/03/2020

Respondent: Dr Iain barr

Representation Summary:

Transport strategy as stated seems very dated. I would suggest to completely revise strategy. Road building will not help meet biodiversity and climate change targets, and I don’t feel that these are being taken seriously at all. The Western Link road is a terrible waste of money and should be scrapped as an idea. The NDR had a huge biodiversity effect and yet NCC claim otherwise. I have no confidence in their ability to deliver climate promises at all. Spend the 300 million on public transport- that would be forward thinking and sensible.
