Respondent: Norwich International Airport

Agent: Barton Willmore

3.2 Norwich Airport supports the vision for economic growth during the Plan period. Site 4
can be considered a strategic employment site, supporting the GNLP’s vision as it is
located with immediate access onto the strategic highway network (Broadland Northway).
Broadland Northway provides easy access to the region’s other strategic roads, including
the A47 and A140. Site 4 is also located in proximity to proposed residential / mixed use
sites shown in BDC’s Growth Triangle Area Action Plan (adopted in July 2016), which will
continue to come forward in the GNLP.
3.3 To support the previous representations in March 2018, Norwich Airport provided evidence
in a Local Market Analysis Report, undertaken by Roche and Bidwells, that demonstrated
Site 4’s potential to include large-scale B2 and B8 uses for which there is a proven demand
and lack of comparable space in the region. Its size gives the Site the flexibility to support
a wide range of economic sectors. A copy of the Report is available at Appendix 2.
