4.2 Site 4 can contribute to the region’s large-scale development. As mentioned in Question
6, it can support a number of uses, including large-scale B2 and B8 employment space.
4.3 Norwich Airport proposes an allocation at the Site of a mixture of aviation and nonaviation
uses, with the flexibility to release land for general employment depending on
market demand. Part of the Site benefits from extant planning consent restricted to
aviation-related uses. The lack of market demand has meant that there has been no
uptake in aviation floorspace. This has been the case since the original planning
permission for aviation-related uses was granted by NCC and BDC in 2013. The planning
flexibility to include non-aviation related employment floorspace will help bring the Site
into economic use and contribute towards the provision of infrastructure required to
support aviation-related employment, which is considered a knowledge-intensive sector
by the GNLP.
