Representation Summary:

National Highways welcomes the opportunity to comment on the Norfolk Minerals and Waste Local Plan 2038. The document provides a vision for the future of the area and sets out a number of key objectives and planning policies that will be used to help support growth across the region.
National Highways has been appointed by the Sectary of State for Transport as strategic highway company under the provisions of the Infrastructure Act 2015 and is the highway authority, traffic authority and street authority for the Strategic Road Network (SRN). It is our role to maintain the safe and efficient operation of the SRN whilst acting as a delivery partner to national economic growth. In relation to this consultation, our principal interest is safeguarding maintenance and the operation of the A47 and A11 which route through the Plan area.
National Highways welcome the decision that each site must be accompanied by a transport Assessment as and when they come forward to understand the impact on the road network (Policy MW2: Transport). We look forward to working with you as the Minerals and Waste Plan emerges. We welcome any opportunities to join in discussions on site location where there is a potential for changes to existing trip generation or where new sites are proposed.
I hope that the above comments are useful in the progression of the Norfolk Minerals and Waste Local Plan, and will allow you to move forward, and we will continue to work with yourselves as you move forward.
