The leader of South Norfolk Council has called plans for a new railway station “a pipe dream” unless Network Rail are on board.
A report by Railfuture has called for the build of a new railway station on the Great Eastern mainline, in Long Stratton.
Long distance rail links in the region are set for improvement, both with Norwich in 90 and East West Rail.
But the independent organisation said improved local rail services could play a much more significant role in the transport needs of the Greater Norwich Area.
The plan considers where more than 49,000 homes could be built in Greater Norwich by 2038.
And the draft of the plan has now been published, with the public able to have its say.
Inclusion in the plan does not mean homes will definitely be built, but it does make it more likely that suitable applications will secure planning permission.
