  • Greater Norwich Local Plan Consultation

    If you wish to comment on the Greater Norwich Local Plan, please see the following information:

    Dear Consultee

    This email is to update you on the status of the Greater Norwich Local Plan (GNLP).

    In accordance with the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (as amended) and Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 (as amended), the Greater Norwich Development Partnership is inviting comments on the proposed Main Modifications to the GNLP.

    The GNLP was submitted to the Planning Inspectorate in July 2021 for examination.  Examination hearings, led by independent Inspectors appointed by the Secretary of State, took place during 2022 and 2023.  As set out in the hearing sessions, there are a number of main modifications required to the Plan in order for the Inspectors to consider it sound and legally compliant.  Schedules of proposed Main Modifications have been prepared and the Partnership has been notified by the Inspectors that the consultation on the modifications can proceed.

    The consultation will commence at midday on Wednesday 25 October 2023 and conclude at midday on Wednesday 6 December 2023.

    The proposed Main Modifications to the GNLP are those which the Inspectors consider are necessary to make the GNLP sound and/or legally compliant.  They are proposed without prejudice to the Inspectors’ final conclusions on the GNLP which will take account of representations submitted in response to this consultation.  The Main Modifications have been subject to updated Sustainability Appraisal and Habitats Regulations Assessment which are also available to comment on along with Policies Map changes.

    Representations relating to the Main Modifications should be made regarding legal compliance and soundness issues only.  This is not an opportunity to raise again matters relating to other parts of the submitted GNLP that have already been considered by the Inspectors during the Examination or to submit further evidence.  The Inspectors will only consider representations which relate specifically to the proposed Main Modifications and the other consultation documents before reaching their final conclusions on the Plan.

    Alongside the consultation documents, the Partnership is publishing Additional Modifications which it intends to make on adoption of the GNLP, along with other documents for information only.  These are outside the scope of the Main Modifications consultation and comments are not invited on them.  They do not form part of the Inspectors’ examination of the Plan.

    Where you can view the consultation documents

    The consultation documents will be available to view on the GNLP website at www.gnlp.org.uk.  Hard copies will be available for public viewing during normal office hours at the following locations:

  • New Benches!

    Have you noticed all the new benches around the parish?!

  • Traffic Delays – Local Survey works

    Survey works on A1067 Fakenham Road, Broadland Northway/Fakenham Road roundabout, Weston Road, Ringland Lane, and The Broadway

    Ferrovial Construction, a contractor working on behalf of Norfolk County Council, intends to carry out survey works on the A1067 Fakenham Road and the Fakenham Road/Broadland Northway roundabout, as well as on three minor roads between the villages of Weston Longville and Ringland, starting later this month. Some short delays to travel and intermittent noise are likely while the surveys are being carried out.

    The survey works involve excavating in the highway and associated verge to identify utility services and are being conducted as part of the council’s Norwich Western Link project. The works are due to start on Monday 27 March.

    A1067 Fakenham Road and Broadland Northway/Fakenham Road roundabout survey works

    From Monday 27 March to Wednesday 29 March, a short section of one lane of the A1067 Fakenham Road near to the Broadland Northway roundabout will be subject to a single lane closure with two way lights to protect workers carrying out the surveys between 8am on 27 March until 5pm on 29 March. Traffic will be controlled by temporary traffic lights and some short delays are lik
    Then from Thursday 30 March to Friday 31 March the surveys will be centred on the roundabout that connects Broadland Northway to the A1067 and short sections of the approaches. This will also involve a single lane closure to protect workers carrying out the surveys between 8am on 30 March until 5pm on 31 March. Some short delays are likely.

    Weston Road, Ringland Lane and The Broadway survey works

    Each of these roads between the villages of Weston Longville and Ringland will be closed to through traffic at different times. Works are scheduled as follows:

    • Weston Road closed from 8am on Wednesday 5 April through to 5pm on Thursday 6 April
    • Ringland Lane closed from 8am on Tuesday 11 April through to 5pm on Wednesday 12 April
    • The Broadway closed from 8am on Thursday 13 April to 5pm on Friday 21 April

    The road closures will be in place from 8am on the first day and are due to remain in place for the duration of the surveys, finishing no later than 5pm on the final stated day, however if there is an opportunity to finish the surveys early and remove the road closures sooner, we will endeavour to do so. Access to properties will be maintained and a signed diversion route will be in place throughout the road closures.

    The County Council and Ferrovial Construction thank people for their patience while this survey work is carried out.

    For Further Information

    Norwich Western Link project team, [email protected], 0344 800 8020.

    The Norwich Western Link is a new 3.9 mile dual carriageway road that would connect the A1270 Broadland Northway to the A47 west of Norwich. As well as improving travel between these two major routes, the new road would tackle traffic congestion and delays on the local road network and in communities, and prevent them from worsening due to planned housing and job growth in Greater Norwich.

    Up-to-date information about roadworks in Norfolk is available on the County Council website at www.norfolk.gov.uk/roadworks
