<p>In October 2023, the Government approved funding at Outline Business Case stage
for the Norwich Western Link. This was subject to the scheme gaining the necessary
planning and environmental consents. It is for the scheme promoter, Norfolk County
Council, to seek those consents and to work with Natural England. The Council is still
engaged in that process and has submitted a planning application for the scheme. The
Council has also written to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food & Rural
Affairs to seek clarity on the implications of the recent Natural England report for
the scheme.</p>
