We note that the introduction includes:
"14. Transport priorities which influence the GNLP are set out in several other strategies including: the Norfolk Local Transport Plan; the Norwich Area Transportation Strategy; the emerging Transport for Norwich strategy and Transforming Cities. These are in addition to national and regional rail and road investment strategies and programmes."

The Norfolk Local Transport Plan and the Transport for Norwich strategy are both currently in the early stages of review, with no published drafts. The current Norfolk Local Transport Plan was published in 2011, and the Norwich Area Transportation Strategy was adopted in 2004 (with Implementation Plan update in 2013). Given the age of these documents, we suggest they have reduced influence on the transport priorities of the GNLP, especially when considering the additional emphasis that has been placed on sustainable transport in recent years and the technological and social changes which have resulted in modal shift. In order to future-proof the transport priorities of the GNLP, it is considered to be essential that the evidence base relied upon is up-to-date, or that contingencies are ensconced within the GNLP. We therefore anticipate commenting further within the GNLP process once these documents are published as part of the wider evidence base.
