Representation Summary:

As a resident of Norwich I would like to express my views on and criticism of the Greater Norwich Local Plan.

The Plan is unsound because the Norwich Western Link Road should not be included in the Plan. This proposed road scheme is not compatible with planned carbon reduction objectives. The proposed road should also not be in the Plan because there are many insurmountable planning issues associated with it, in relation to Wensum SAC and the concomitant Habitats Regulations. The Wensum is a precious chalk stream habitat.

The Plan is unsound because it lays out no coherent policy on climate change, and proposes no carbon budget for the area.

The Plan is unsound because it massively increases housing numbers beyond what the government is requiring, numbers in excess of what is environmentally sustainable.

The Plan is unsound because it does not amount to "balanced sustainable development" and does not comply with UN Sustainable Development goals to protect the environment whilst achieving social and economic gains.
