Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 20974

Received: 14/03/2020

Respondent: Mr Andrew Cawdron

Representation Summary:

The need for the Norwich Western Link Road remains unproven, the option selected may well not help Taverham, Easton or Costessey, (particularly with their huge housing targets to add to Longwater Lane junction and other transportation issues).
Growth of Norwich Airport for both leisure and business travel is not compatible with Carbon targets and potentially the Paris Agreement.
The impacts of the A47 road improvements on the environment have been played down, particularly the junctions proposed in the Tud Valley section, which will affect and harm the fragile environments there, particularly during construction and then long after.
