Enquiry type
Email

I have toiday received your email providing a link to the letter from the Inspectors, re. further hearings and the list of questions PINS is now seeking answers on. I have read through that list, and although there is reference to the Drayton Lane (south) works, there is nothing referring to Bugg's Grave.

Would you please be good enough to tell me whether or not the planned road works will or will not affect the existing Buggs Grave crossroads and, if the proposed works will have a disruptive effect, will you add to your list of questions: "Will NCC consider re-alinging the works proposed for the Bugg's Grave crossroads in order to minimis the impact on this locally important hostoric site?"

Advice given

Thank you for your e-mail of 15 August 2014 regarding the examination of the Norwich NDR scheme.

Unfortunately, there isn't scope for the Examining Authority (ExA) to amend or add questions to its second round of written question now that they've been formally issued.

The Bugg?s Grave junction (Reepham Road/Drayton Lane) has been subject to much discussion at hearings and through written representations. A response to question 1.4 of the Examining Authority?s second round of written questions may be of interest to you and may show options for re-construction of the junction. You will be able view the response on the Norwich NDR pages of the National Infrastructure Planning Portal website after the Deadline 6 (8 September 2014) when all responses have been received.

I also advise you write directly to the applicant with your query for a detailed response should you wish; you can contact the applicant by:

Email: norwich.transport@norfolk.gov.uk Telephone: 0344 800 8020 Post: Norfolk County Council, Norwich Area Transport Strategy, Department of Planning and Transportation, Norwich, NR1 2BR

I will consider your e-mail a response to the ExA?s second round of written questions and will be publish it along with the other responses we receive to the ExA?s questions after the 8 September 2014 unless you notify me that you do not wish it be considered. The applicant has the opportunity to comment on any of the responses to ExA?s questions at Deadline 7 (29 September 2014) and therefore they may choose to comment on your response.

Alternatively, you can raise this at one of our hearings in person (I suggest the hearing on Thursday 18 September which is on minor changes would be appropriate). If you wish to do this then you will need to register your intention to speak in advance of the hearing by Deadline 6 (8 September 2014); you also have the option of requesting this subject be discussed at the hearing without attending yourself. This request would also need to be made by Deadline 6 (8 September 2014).

I hope this information helps, should you have any further questions please do get in touch.
