Thorpe Marriott Greenway Design and Access Statement Broadland District Council Thorpe Lodge 1 Yarmouth Road Norwich NR6 7ND Thorpe Marriott Greenway Design and access statement Broadland District Council Thorpe Lodge 1 Yarmouth Road Norwich NR6 7ND www.broadland.gov.uk Produced August 2018 Thorpe Marriott Greenway Design and access statement The Thorpe Marriott Tree Belt is currently owned and managed by Broadland District Council. The areas owned by the council, and the subject of this application, are marked in red: 3 There are two small strips of land within the proposed development area, marked A and B, that are not owned by Broadland Council but are owned by Brown and Co. Agreement has been sought from the landowner to extend the proposals across these two areas of land. The Thorpe Marriott Greenway is designed to promote better greenspace and access in the Thorpe Marriott area. In order to enhance green links between the Thorpe Marriot estate, the Marriott’s Way, Nabour Furlong, Pendlesham Rise, Littlewood (three woodlands owned by Broadland District Council) and the NDR green bridge that leads to Drayton Drewray. The Council are proposing that a path connecting these sites be established through the tree belt that skirts around the Thorpe Marriott Estate. In order to complete this link the proposals would involve installing a new path through the tree belt. There is currently no formal footpath through the belt and, although public access is not restricted, it is not currently well developed or used. Broadland Council already own and manage similar sites where access is well established, providing the local area with valuable recreational greenspace for walking and cycling. 4 Wilde Woods - Rackheath (example) 1.2 kilometer circular woodland walk. Mixed broadleaf woodland. No formal dressing on paths. 5 Thorpe End woodland walk - Thorpe End (example) 726 kilometer circular woodland walk. Mixed broadleaf woodland. No formal dressing on paths. Plans to extend the path network to the west of the entrance included in Neighbourgh Plan. 6 The site The site covers an area of approximately 3110metres squared. The proposed path will span approximately 1722 metres in length. At the farthest south western section of the route the proposed path meets a small coppice wet woodland called Nabour Furlong. At this point the proposed path will link up to the permissive path in the adjacent field. The route will then follow the path until it meets up with an access point leading onto the Marriott’s Way. There is currently no formal footpath through the belt and, although public access is not restricted, it is not currently well developed or used. There would be 9 access points in and out of the woodland belt in the form of wooded kissing gates. Access points are marked in red on the plan below: Access point where highway crossing would be installed. Example of wooden kissing gates and fence such as those that are proposed to be installed at the entrance points as marked on the above plan. Image courtesy of Wikimedia Commons 7 Access across Reepham Road There will be an access point installed as part of the proposals to allow users to cross Reepham Road, leading to a footpath and pedestrian bridge over the Broadland Northway towards Drayton Drewary. The crossing point and route is indicated on the plan below: Creating access across the road will require the current hedging to be removed adjacent to the crossing point. This shall allow for maximum visibility splays and awareness to approaching drivers of pedestrians waiting to cross the highway. A kissing gate will be installed at the woodland edge of the remaining hedgerow, slowing users down on their approach to the highway. There will be a formal surfaced crossing point both sides of the highway which will overcome the need to step off the raised verge onto, and off, the road. A dropped kerbed ‘pram crossing’ type arrangement will be installed on the woodland side of the crossing point.

Pyehurn Mews. 10 The proposed path The proposed path would be approximately 1.5 metres wide and would be created through scraping the woodland surface by approximately 75mm, installing a geo-textile fabric, and infilling with 75mm of 20cm hoggin. Where specific root protection is deemed necessary, for larger specimen trees, a cell web membrane with a no-dig zone would be installed. This information will be covered in greater depth in the arboricultural method statement and arboricultural impact assessment. Area using permissive path Figure 5 11 Method for creating a scraped and dressed path 1 2 3 Once geo-textile is in-filled a Hoggin dressing 4 of 75mm depth will be applied 5 Permissive path The permissive path section of the route, marked blue in figure 5, is already well frequented. This permissive path will join the tree belt to the Marriott’s Way. Steps will be installed where the path meets the Marriott’s Way to enhance this already well used entrance and access point. This proposed route skirts around the edge of the woodland area of Nabour Furlong avoiding it completely - the rationale being that using this path avoids impacting the ecologically sensitive area and the wet ground of this site. 12 Community engagement On the 3 May 2018 Broadland District Council sent a consultation letter out to the 157 residents whose properties directly abut the Thorpe Greenway site. The letter was written to make residents aware of Broadland District Council’s intention to submit a full planning application later in the year. 10 letters objecting to the scheme were received, as well as a letter and a phone call in support of the scheme. The content of the objections from residents were primarily focused on security concerns - there was a perception that the path could potentially increase rates of crime in the area by facilitating an easy route in and out of back gardens. Whilst some properties along the route are hardly visible from the prosed path, such as those in the image below, others are more exposed. As a result of resident concerns Broadland Council Officers met with the Norfolk Police Architectural Liaison Officer and walked the proposed site. View from the The Architectural Liaison Officer suggested a series of proposed path precautions that have subsequently been designed into towards properties on the proposed scheme to limit the likelihood of any the western Taverham associated crime. One of these precautions is to use section of the route. defensive planting on site where rear boundaries are the most exposed. Blackthorn, Hawthorn and Holly can help to create a defensive boundary reducing the likelihood of any potential intruders. Installing kissing gates was also suggested by the Architectural Liaison Officer as a way of slowing anyone down on their approach into, and out of the Thorpe Greenway site. These have now been included in the proposed scheme at access points. Support for the scheme voiced an interest in using the tree belt for recreational purposes and as an off road link to and from the Marriott’s Way. The ecological enhancements that the scheme proposes to deliver (in terms of tree planting and bird and bat box installation) were also supported. Both Drayton and Taverham Parish Councils were consulted about the Thorpe Greenway project. This was done through the consultation of the emerging West Broadland Green Infrastructure Plan that this project forms a part of, and also as a standalone project. Officers from Broadland Council have also met with members of the Taverham Neighbourhood Plan group. There are plans to meet with local groups in the future to discuss using the site for community projects. 13 .

Photos from the survey 2. Results from the online survey 3. Results from the drop-in consultations 4. Results from the SUSTRANS survey 5. Action Plan The Marriott’s Way is England’s longest disused railway trail at 26 miles. Parts of the trail have been used for walking, cycling and horse riding since the 1970s. The route is entirely in public ownership; with the majority of the route owned and managed by Norfolk County Council and other sections owned and managed by Norwich City Council and Broadland District Council. Around 110,000 people walk, cycle or ride on the Marriott’s Way annually. About 385 cyclists per day on average use the Marriott’s Way to cycle into the City. It is part of Sustrans National Cycle Route No. 1. The trail follows the route of the River Wensum (which has been designated as a Special Conservation Area) upstream as far as Lenwade. The whole length of the Marriott’s Way has been designated as a County Wildlife Site. Marriott’s Way ends in Aylsham, from where the Bure Valley Path (managed by Broadland District Council) continues through to Wroxham and Hoveton. The four local authorities (Norwich City Council, Norfolk County Council, Broadland District Council and South Norfolk Council) are all working closely together to improve the Marriott’s Way as a route for walkers, cyclists, horse riders, and as an important wildlife corridor.

  • Newsletter July 2017
    Newsletter July 2017 Dear Parents/Carers As the academic year draws to the end I would like to take this opportunity to thank the students of Taverham High School for their hard work, enthusiasm for learning, for participating in all the enrichment activities and trips that have taken place this year. I have thoroughly enjoyed sharing their achievements and celebrating their success. I very much look forward to the results days which will be difficult to compare to last year due to the new specifications and grading system but which I am sure will support the students to reach their future pathways. I would like to thank the parents and carers who have diligently supported events and activities and given us honest feedback to improve our systems and processes. Finally I would like to thank the hard working staff and governors who work tirelessly to ensure students are taught well, supported and cared for. I have just returned from the Year 9 Hautbois trip and the staff have thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the year group, providing them with different challenges and cannot speak highly enough of the young people we have in our care. I thank all staff for their enthusiasm and willingness to maintain the richness of our school curriculum and positive ethos. I would ike to wish Mrs Burgess and Mrs Greer best wishes as they finish this summer for maternity leave. We need to say goodbye to Mr Willis as he has gained a full time post in charge of music at Fakenham High School. Mr Money will be leaving us as a classroom teacher but returning to support the Art department in a technician capacity.

  • Drayton Assessment Booklet
    Settlement Name: Drayton Settlement Drayton is classified as an urban fringe parish in the Hierarchy: emerging Greater Norwich Local Plan. There are good public transport links to Norwich along the Fakenham Road (A1067). Transport connectivity has also been recently improved by the opening of the Broadland Northway (A1270). There is a good range of local services mainly concentrated in the village centre, near the junctions of Drayton High Road with School Road and Costessey Lane. Drayton is located close to the River Wensum, itself designated as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC), and there are Sites of Special Scientific Interest as well. Away from the River Wensum, two county wildlife sites, Canham’s Hill and Drayton Woods, provide a landscape gap between Drayton and Hellesdon to the east and between Drayton and Horsford to the north. In recent decades Drayton has seen new development at Thorpe Marriott. Drayton Neighbourhood Plan was ‘made’ in July 2016 and covers the period to 2026. The vision for the Neighbourhood Plan is based on their desire to maintain the quality of life in their parish by preserving the balance between the built and green environment, improving negative elements of the built environment and infrastructure whilst developing and strengthening opportunities for the people of the parish, encouraging increased prosperity, and building up the facilities available to residents, and those that work there. At the base date of the GNLP there is one carried forward allocation for 250 homes and a total of 68 additional dwellings with planning permission on small sites. Drayton is located within the north and north-west sector of the urban fringe along with Hellesdon and Taverham in the ‘Towards a Strategy’ document.

  • Joint Five Year Infrastructure Investment Plan - FINAL
    Greater Norwich Growth Board Joint Five Year Infrastructure Investment Plan - FINAL February 2019 Introduction The projects identified within this Infrastructure Investment Plan are those currently considered to be a priority for delivery to assist in achieving the economic growth targets as set out in the Joint Core Strategy and the Greater Norwich City Deal; one of the key strands of the City Deal was the delivery of an infrastructure programme facilitated by a pooled funding arrangement between the Authorities. Income received from the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is pooled within the Infrastructure Investment Fund (IIF) which is administered by the Greater Norwich Growth Board (GNGB). The projects which receive IIF funding during the forthcoming financial year will be adopted as the 2019/20 Annual Growth Programme (AGP). The projects listed within the subsequent four years are the IIF funding priorities till 2023/24. See Appendix A This Plan incorporates the updated position on infrastructure delivery, includes revised CIL income projections, provides updates on projects accepted within previous AGPs and outlines planned preparatory work for infrastructure schemes for future years. Development of the Joint Five Year Infrastructure Investment Plan Prior to the development of this Plan, the Greater Norwich Infrastructure Plan (GNIP) was updated1. The GNIP identifies infrastructure priorities to the end of the current Joint Core Strategy (2026) and details the progress of infrastructure delivery within the Greater Norwich area. The three District Councils will consider this Plan in January/February 2019. Projects listed within the forthcoming financial year should be considered as the proposed AGP for 2019/20. Thus approval of this plan will commit IIF funding to those projects.

  • 224 Fakenham Road, Taverham, Norwich NR8 6QW Proposal
    Planning, Design and Access Statement Application site: 224 Fakenham Road, Taverham, Norwich NR8 6QW Proposal: Demolition of existing 1.5 storey dwelling and erection of three dwellings (outline with all matters reserved) 1 Planning, Design and Access Statement: 224 Fakenham Road, Taverham – 3 dwellings Site and context The site The site comprises an 0.14Ha broadly rectangular shaped parcel of land to the north of Fakenham Road in Taverham. A one and a half storey property is currently located on the site. In respect of topography the site and the surrounding area is flat. The site lies within the settlement boundary of Taverham which is identified in the JCS as an urban fringe parish. The property on the site is a one and a half storey dwelling with two storey properties to both the east and west and to the rear (located on the Thorpe Marriott Development.) There are no mature trees nor trees subject to a TPO on the site itself, however there are mature trees in the front gardens of both 222a Fakenham Road and 226a Fakenham Road. The existing property, nor those adjacent dwellings are highly prominent in the wider views, being set some significant distance back from the highway and screened by other development and mature trees. Existing access to the site is served from Fakenham Road which is subject of a 30mph speed limit and the site accesses and egresses on a straight section of the road with good visibility. The site is not within a conservation area nor affects the setting of any listed buildings.
