THE NORFOLK COUNTY COUNCIL

(LITTLE MELTON, VARIOUS ROADS)

PROPOSED TRAFFIC ORDER AND ROAD HUMPS

NOTICE 2025

The Norfolk County Council propose to make the following speed limit order under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and give the following road hump notice:

The Norfolk County Council (Little Melton, Various Roads) (20mph Speed Zone and 30mph Speed Limit) Order 2025

The effect of this Order would be to:

1. Consolidate and vary the orders being revoked below, ensuring the 20mph speed limit on the existing lengths of road U78410 Gibbs Close, U7840 All Saints Close, U71839 Homecroft, U71784 Limes Close, U78008 Mill Road, and U78362 Ringwood Close remains unchanged, but will be enforced by a 20mph speed zone instead of the current 20mph speed limits.

2. Consolidate the 1998 Order ensuring the 30mph speed limit on the existing lengths of road U78135 Braymeadow Lane, 7P908 Braymeadow Lane, and the C772 Green Lane remain unchanged.

3. Consolidate and vary the 1998 Order by reducing the current 30mph speed limit to 20mph and implementing a speed zone along the following roads:

   a. U78047 Burnthouse Lane from its junction with the C169 Great Melton Road southwards for a distance of 144 metres. The U78047 Burnthouse Lane 20mph speed limit has been implemented by reducing the 30mph speed limit from its junction with the C169 Great Melton Road southwards for a distance of 95 metres, and by reducing the National speed limit from a point 95 metres south of its junction with the C169 Great Melton Road southwards for a distance of 49 metres.

   b. C169 Great Melton Road from the centreline of its junction with the C169 School Lane for 14 metres westwards.

   c. C169 School Lane (previously known as ‘C169 The Street’) from the centreline of its junction with U78008 Mill Road eastwards to a point 21 metres west of the centreline of its junction with U78135 Braymeadow Lane.

The remaining lengths of road referred to in the 1998 Order will remain subject to a 30mph speed limit as detailed in Schedule 2 of the proposed Order.

The purpose of this consolidation and variation is for clarity and the efficient administration of the speed restrictions. This includes making typographical corrections, removing superfluous wording, and updating legislative references.

The following previous orders are revoked in their entirety:

• The Norfolk County Council (Little Melton) (30mph speed limit) Order 1998 (referred to as the "1998 Order")
