Dr Andrew Boswell’s High Court challenge to road building schemes in Norfolk will be held on Wednesday 10 May and Thursday 11 May 2023. Dr Boswell is challenging 3 schemes on the basis that the cumulative impact of carbon emissions from the schemes has not been considered. He also argues that the licensing relating to the Norfolk colony of barbastelle bats has not been done correctly.
The three road schemes are:
Changes to the Thickthorn Roundabout junction on the A11 on the edge of Norwich
Dualling of the A47 from Blofield to North Burlingham
Dualling of the A47 from Easton to North Tuddenham
The above schemes were approved by the secretary of state in 2022, but Dr Boswell says the decisions were unlawful - hence the challenge.
