Why we need to

In 2019 Norfolk County Council (NCC) shared their plans to link the end of the current Norwich Northern Distributor Road (NDR), now called Broadland Northway, on the A1067 with the A47 near to Easton – the proposed ‘Norwich Western Link’ (NWL).

We have considered the road proposals in detail as NCC’s plans have progressed, and continue to raise our grave concerns about its impact on wildlife.

The landscape between the A47 and A1067 is a well-connected network of vital wildlife habitats including ancient woodlands, grasslands, chalk streams and floodplain. It supports ancient oak trees and species including bats, badgers and farmland birds such as yellowhammer and linnet. 

Norfolk Wildlife Trust is actively opposing the development alongside a growing collective of regional and national environmental organisations.
