The proposal for continued lobbying of statutory providers for the timely delivery of improvements to strategic infrastructure, such as the energy supply network, is welcomed and supported. This will be critical to ensuring the timely delivery of the planned growth.

In relation to education provision, the Consortium are committed to continued engagement with Norfolk County Council in relation to the potential to accommodate a secondary school on site GNLP0132. Further clarification is required in relation to funding mechanisms, and the inter-relationship with the CIL regime, to ensure that implications for viability are fully understood and mitigated at Plan-making stage. This is essential to ensure that the policy framework is drafted to appropriately reflect these considerations, and ensure that strategic sites are not over-burdened with the delivery of strategic infrastructure beyond that directly required by the development.
