Highways England supports the delivery of employment sites where there is good connectivity with existing and future housing proposals, particularly where their location can minimise the need to travel, particularly by private car.

Where the proposed growth is located near or close to the Strategic Road Newtork, appropriate transport assessments will be required to understand the need for essential highway and other infrastructure to support delivery.

The proposed sites within the Colney Strategic Employment Zone is likely to have a significant impact on the B1108/A47 Watton Road junction, and it is suggested early assessment on the junction and the A47 at this location is required to ensure that these sites are deliverable.

The existing A47 Longwater junction suffers significant congestion at peak times and the proposed sites in and around Costessey will likely to have a substantial impact on its performance. It is suggested early assessment on the junction and the A47 at this location is required to ensure that these sites are deliverable, together with its connections to the proposed Western bypass.

With regard to Easton and Honingham Highways England agrees with the statements that there could be significant constraint to the proposed development with the existing highway infrastructure and further assessment is required. We welcome the provision of a Road Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) to create sustainable transport opportunities.

With regard to Wymondham the proposed reasonable alternative site (contingency) will require a new junction onto the A11. Whilst this is agreeable in principle it will need further investigation.
