In particular the Council is concerned that the cumulative growth impacts on transport, power, water supply have been adequately addressed.

The Greater Norwich Energy Infrastructure Study April 2019 identifies shortfalls in supply for new development proposed in the GNLP and will also impact on development outside GNLP. It refers to Sall Grid which supplies North Norfolk and Breckland along with Diss Grid which supplies West Suffolk and Breckland which are at full capacity.
