Respondent: Breckland District Council
BDC seeks confirmation that the proposed growth from GNLP will not be of detriment to the growth planned within Breckland.
In particular the Council is concerned that the cumulative growth impacts on transport, power, water supply have been adequately addressed.
For information, BDC has significant growth in these areas with 4000 dwellings and employment land west of London Road at Attleborough, the significant employment growth plans for Snetterton Heath and housing and employment growth along A47 particularly at Dereham.
BDC has concerns whether the proposed improvements on A11 and A47 will be sufficient to meet the needs of the cumulative grois there sufficient Railway capacity to cope with increased growth. Equally is there sufficient Railway capacity to cope with increased growth.
Under the Duty to Cooperate, Breckland District Council would welcome the opportunity to engage with GNLP to explore a joint approach to any constraints which may arise as a result of the cumulative growth in both planned areas.
