Hethel - Speed Limit Changes and Prohibition of Motor Vehicles

THE NORFOLK COUNTY COUNCIL

(BRACON ASH, VARIOUS ROADS) (HETHEL)

PROPOSED TRAFFIC ORDERS 2025

Norfolk County Council propose to make the following Orders under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984:

The Norfolk County Council

(Bracon Ash, Chapman Way and C186 Wymondham Road) (Hethel)

(50 mph Speed Limit) Consolidation and Variation Order 2025

The effect of this Order will be to:

1. consolidate The Norfolk County Council (Hethel, B1135 Stanfield Road) (50 m.p.h. Speed Limit) Order 2001 whereby the 50 mph speed limit on the existing length of road specified in that Order will not be changed. The road classification and name would be updated from the B1135 Stanfield Road to the C186 Wymondham Road to reflect the recent downgrade to its classification. The road description would also be updated ‘to its junction with the B1113 Norwich Road’ replacing ‘its junction with the B1113 Hethel Road’.

2. vary the existing Order by prohibiting any motor vehicle from exceeding 50 miles per hour along the following length of road:

i) Chapman Way (New Link Road) – from its junction with the C186 Wymondham Road for 19 metres northwards

The existing Order is proposed to be consolidated for clarity and efficient administration of the restrictions. As part of the consolidation the existing Order is being updated to reflect current legislation, or are being clarified to make them clearer, or are being amended to correct minor errors. The reference to ‘vehicles’ is being updated to ‘motor vehicles’ to reflect current legislation.

The Norfolk County Council (Bracon Ash, Chapman Way and Potash Lane) (Hethel)

(30 mph Speed Limit) Order 2025

The effect of this Order will be to prohibit any motor vehicle from exceeding 30 miles per hour along the lengths of road specified in the Schedule below:

SCHEDULE – In the Parish of Bracon Ash

Proposed 30 mph Speed Limit

(Prohibition of Motor Vehicles) Order 2025

The effect of this Order will be to prohibit any motor vehicle from entering or proceeding along the length of the C825 Potash Lane from its junction with the C186 Wymondham Road northwards for a length of 262.5 metres with an exemption to access adjacent land for agricultural purposes by the owner of said land or persons acting on their behalf insofar as such use is necessary.
