Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 22384

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Norwich Green Party

Representation Summary:

Economy: We object to: concept of 'growth axis along Cambridge Norwich Tech Corridor'. We are concerned about land use, transport and environmental implications of dispersing development along A11 corridor in open countryside such as Snetterton Heath, in small towns and on strategic employment sites on periphery of Norwich. A wide corridor 100kms in length has been progressed without policy testing, SEA and prior public consultation.

Infrastructure: We oppose 'improve connectivity' in relation to major road building schemes. Add reference to reduce the need to travel and manage demand for private car travel.

Delivery: Oppose statement at it stands. Delivery must not be driven by numbers of homes, jobs and by infrastructure alone. Integral to delivery is also the need to set climate change targets.
