The landowners and promoters SUPPORT the retention of the HNF2 allocation for employment uses. The landowners and promoters also SUPPORT the change of wording in the opening sentence which states that the allocation will be to provide a full range of employment uses including for those benefitting from a location close to the airport, as opposed to the extant policy wording that links the full range of employment uses to airport related.

The Imperial Park (GNLP 1061) situated within the Airport has extant planning permission for aviation uses and is much more suited to that restriction.

The landowners and promoters COMMENT on a tension that is caused between the safe operation of the adjacent Norwich Airport and the requirements for substantial landscaping buffers and planting. Civil Aviation Authority Guidance sets out clear requirements for how planting is to be managed to assist in minimising aviation hazards posed by wildlife. The landowners and promoters would strongly suggest amendments to the policy wording to reflect the primacy of the CAA guidance.

Notes accompanying the policy refer to the site being promoted with a larger boundary. This was done to reflect extant policy Guidelines for Development that accepts a slightly larger area for development incorporating land that was safeguarded for Broadland Northway. To avoid future confusion, the landowners and promoters would strongly suggest that the allocation boundary is extended to reflect the full extent of anticipated development.
