Norwich Northern Distributor Road (NDR)

About this project

The proposed NDR would be a dual-carriageway distributor road which would link the A1067 Fakenham Road at Attlebridge in the west, to the A47 at Postwick in the east over a length of 20.1km. The alignment includes 8 at-grade roundabout junctions, 2 grade-separated junctions and 7 bridge crossings."

Following the Preliminary Meeting, the Secretary of State is now considering whether this application should now be handled by a panel of examining inspectors. Therefore it is not yet possible to publish a Rule 8 letter, which would include the timetable for the examination. To minimise disruption, this notice of procedural decisions requests written representations and other material from interested parties. The Rule 8 letter, including the timetable, will be published by the end of June 2014.
