We support the approach to infrastructure as set out, it is considered essential to deliver infrastructure in order for development to be sustainable.
The proposed new settlement Honingham Thorpe would provide on site infrastructure solutions from the start. Technical work is being undertaken to ensure a comprehensive multi-functional green infrastructure network forms the spine of the proposed development; supporting a modal shift, connecting future residents to services withing the settlement, and improving connectivity for the surrounding villages.
The site is also well related to the planned road improvements being delivered by Highways England to dual a section of the A47 between Easton and North Tuddenham, a grade separated junction is proposed directly to the north of the site, allowing for monies to be spent on providing other essential infrastructure such as schools and shops within the settlement.
