Scheme Objectives
The scheme objectives, as laid out in the Major Scheme Business Case, are to:
- Reduce congestion on strategic routes to the north of the city
- Reduce noise, air pollution and accidents for communities in the northern suburbs of Norwich and outlying villages
- Enable the removal of through traffic from the city centre, and implementation of widespread pedestrianisation/bus priority measures
- Provide direct access to growth locations, helping to deliver significant housing and employment growth as set out in the EEP RSS/RTS
- Support the continued success of the Norwich economy as the driver to growth across the north of the region
- Provide improved access to north and north east Norfolk
The Greater Norwich Development Partnership, a non-departmental public body which includes Norfolk County Council and Norwich City Council, has described the dual carriageway as "an integral part of our plans to improve the local public transport network and reduce reliance on the private car."
The road is rated priority 'A1' by the East of England Regional Assembly and strongly supported by Norfolk County Council.
Although the distributor road is not mentioned on the transport page of the official Eco-town website, it is included on the 'masterplan' map as a white line without meaningful labels and is regarded as an integral part of the proposal by the Greater Norwich Development Partnership.

Famous quotes containing the words scheme and/or objectives:
“We doubt not the destiny of our country—that she is to accomplish great things for human nature, and be the mother of a nobler race than the world has yet known. But she has been so false to the scheme made out at her nativity, that it is now hard to say which way that destiny points.”
—Margaret Fuller (1810–1850)
“Along the journey we commonly forget its goal. Almost every vocation is chosen and entered upon as a means to a purpose but is ultimately continued as a final purpose in itself. Forgetting our objectives is the most frequent stupidity in which we indulge ourselves.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
