Para 123: does not reference local rail transport links. need to improve local rail services on the Bittern and Wherry lines to encourage rail use. E.g. more routes between Norwich Brundall Reedham and Gt Yarmouth.
The growth of Norwich Intl Airport is not consistent with reducing carbon emissions.
The Norwich Western Link should focus on improving existing road links rather than building a new road across the Wensum Valley.
Para 126 references ““a radical shift away from the use of the private car”. But this will only happen if there are clear plans on how this can be achieved and there is insufficient detail in the GNLP on this.
Para 129: “…our proactive approach to co-ordinating development providers, organisations and agencies as well as through interventions in cases where the market cannot deliver infrastructure.” Comment: there will need to be much more active intervention and co-ordination of infrastructure development than has hitherto been seen if this ambition is to be realised. It cannot simply be aspirational but clear plans need to be established to achieve this in practice.
I attach the feedback from Broadland Green Party members on the GNLP Consultation.
Each section is identified but not all questions have been answered. However, all questions are included to maintain the numbering.
