We wish to make additional representations to those already made in relation to the A47 road improvements consultation, on behalf of our clients, Clarion Housing Group. In making these further comments we reaffirm our support of the grade separated junction in this position as part of the A47 highway improvements We note the indicative location for the potential future FEP access , that is being proposed by yourselves, facilitates the possibility to provide a satisfactory vehicular link to the Food Enterprise Park(FEP) which is required to connect to the A47 once the dualling has taken place. The level and type of vehicular traffic that will be seeking access and egress from the FEP will require a road connection that is substantially better than the current configuration of Blind Lane however. In addition, there are existing employment at Honingham Thorpe Farm Business park (300 staff) as well as the farming activities that would need to be accommodated at this junction. The proposed scheme will enable growth in and around Norwich, specifically the FEP and the Honingham Thorpe Settlement which would deliver c5,000 new homes.
