Regional Policy and Context Sample Clauses

Regional Policy and Context. 2.3.1 There are a number of regional planning and transport policies and priorities that are reflected in the proposed scheme. These are detailed below. 2.3.2 The New Anglia Strategic Economic Plan (SEP) was published by the New Anglia LEP in 2014 and outlines the LEP’s ambition to transform the economies of Norfolk and Suffolk which will establish the ‘New Anglia’ area as a centre of global business excellence. It seeks to deliver more jobs, new businesses, new housing, and increased productivity by 2026. 2.3.3 Lowestoft is identified as a larger economic sub-region in the north east of the area, with a strong base in manufacturing and food and drink processing, and strong tourism and leisure industries, all of which have potential for growth. 2.3.4 The area’s main growth opportunity is in the energy sector, for which it has been designated one of six CORE and will receive a comprehensive package of business support. The Port of Lowestoft is important to the offshore energy industry. It also has an established reputation as a centre for servicing the offshore oil and gas industry, and more recently for the construction, operation and maintenance of North Sea wind farms. It is the closest port to the East Anglia Array Wind Farm, consisting of up to 1,800 wind turbines, 14km off the coast. Plans are also being developed for the Galloper Wind Farm, 27km off the Suffolk Coast. 2.3.5 The SEP identifies eight growth locations – areas which are expected to grow by at least 1,000 jobs and 1,000 dwellings5, including Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth. Transport performs a pivotal role in connecting and accessing these growth locations, and a programme for New Anglia’s strategic transport infrastructure investment is essential to deliver the objectives of the SEP. For this reason, most of the strategic interventions in the SEP are transport-related, and include:  Improvements on national trunk roads in the area;  Schemes to directly unlock employment or housing growth; and  Sustainable urban transport packages – public transport, walking and cycling schemes, network management measures and maintenance schemes. 2.3.6 The SEP’s transport priorities will directly support development and help prevent transport constraints from being a barrier to growth. The SEP notes6 that the limited opportunities to cross Lake Lothing force traffic onto a few congested routes, and specifically identifies the existing Bascule Bridge as a bottleneck causing traffic congestion. 2.3.7 This...
