We support the approach to the economy.
The Food Enterprise Park will deliver a large amount of employment in a rapidly growing sector, helping to support the growth of Greater Norwich’s post-carbon economy and world-class agri-tech and knowledge intensive jobs.
The proposed new settlement Honingham Thorpe would support and enhance the Food Enterprise Park, providing the opportunity for a holistic approach with a mutually supportive provision of jobs, education and housing which would help to attract skilled workers, companies and investment. Additionally, the proposed new settlement would support changes in working practices including working-from-home, and the needs of small and start-up businesses with smaller and flexible spaces within the village centre. The new settlement would aim to create a circle economy, ensuring economic growth is retained within the Greater Norwich area, and is not lost to other locations along the A11.
