Comment
Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy
Representation ID: 22488

Respondent: Highways England
The proposed long-term future target year is a minimum of 44,340 new homes in twenty years, between 2018 and 2038. The proposed new allocation is 7,840 distributing in Norwich urban areas and in different main towns, key service centres and village clusters. The only thing I could raise is that the number of housing for annual target around two thousand is very high which may become a road junction capacity issue within medium to long term delivery target.
Thank you for inviting Highways England to comment on the Regulation 18 Draft Review of the Greater Norwich Local Plan (GNLP), which is prepared jointly by three local authorities - Broadland District Council, Norwich City Council and South Norfolk Council through the Greater Norwich Development Partnership (GNDP). This document expresses our views on the Draft Strategy and Site Allocations for future development as mentioned in this GNLP.
Highways England is responsible for the operation, maintenance and improvement of the Strategic Road Network (SRN) in England on behalf of the Secretary of the State. In the area within and surrounding Norfolk, this relates to the A11 and A47 trunk roads.
Consequently, our comments on the draft Local Plan which are set out below are limited to those aspects/strategies which may have impacts related to these two trunk roads.
