The views of the Committee were as follows: • Policy 1 o It was felt that the existing status of the open spaces meant that no greater protection through Local Green Space designation is required. • Policy 2 o Accept amendments to the policy to strengthen the wording. • Policy 3 o Add additional evidence of parking issues, with emphasis on the recent Transforming Cities findings which highlight areas of Thorpe St Andrew as problematic due to on-street parking. • Policy 4 o Accept comments regarding formatting and strengthening policy wording. o Decline the amalgamation with other policies. • Policy 5 o Note that the Broads Authority may wish to have further discussions regarding the policy. • Policy 6 o Accept comment on adding maps throughout the document. • Policy 7 o Correct typographic error. • Policy 9 o Add non-designated heritage assets to the policy 6 HEA SCREENING REPORT The Committee reviewed the HEA Screening Report for consultation. It was confirmed that a SEA Screening Report would also be required and that this was underway. There was some concern from Broadland District Council that a consultant was not undertaking the work, but that they would be wiling to assist where possible in completing the Report. This Screening Report should be consulted upon prior to the public consultation. The Committee NOTED the HEA Screening Report. The meeting closed at 6:35pm Signed: …………………………………….

  • Appeal Statement for 156 Wroxham Road, Sprowston, Norwich, NR7 8DE - Broadland District Council Application Number 20160492
    Appeal statement for 156 Wroxham Road, Sprowston, Norwich, NR7 8DE - Broadland District Council application number 20160492 In their Planning Rejection notice dated 9th February 2017, Broadland District Council states that “Wroxham Road is a long road which runs through the town of Sprowston and that the section between the Norwich Outer Ring Road and the Park and Ride roundabout is fronted by buildings of various periods and designs with various space intervals between the buildings on either side. Given this varied character and appearance, it is considered that number 156 is only read in conjunction with the neighbouring buildings on the same side of Wroxham Road between Merlin Avenue and Goshawk Mews (numbers 154a to 166 Wroxham Road)”. However, as Broadland District Council correctly point out, Wroxham Road is fronted by buildings of various periods and designs with various space intervals between the buildings on either side. Therefore, what relevant basis is there that this group of properties should be treated differently than the general area? In application number 20160492 for front, side and rear extensions to number 126 Wroxham Road approved by Broadland District Council 12th May 2016, the two storey side extension (which has now been constructed) is partly constructed not only up to the boundary between the two buildings but also within the grounds of the adjoining property number 124 Wroxham Road. Similar situations are apparent in the immediate vicinity and photographs are attached to this appeal document showing this to be the case. Numbers 114, 116, 136, 154, 156, 158, 169, 171, 175, 207 Wroxham Road and 47 Merlin Mews are all examples of extensions being constructed neither on or very close to the neighbouring property.

This information forms a basis for the fen management strategy. Vegetation resource Mammals Birds Invertebrates Summary of special features for each valley: This section mainly identifies the botanical features within each valley. The distribution of birds, mammals and invertebrates is either variable or unknown, and so has been covered only in a general sense in the section on species requirements. However, where there is obvious bird interest concentrated within particular valleys, this has been identified. The botanical section provides a summary analysis of the fen vegetation resource survey and considers the relative importance of fen vegetation in a local and national context. A summary of the chemical variables of the soils for each valley has also been included. Ant valley Bure valley Muckfleet valley Thurne valley Waveney valley Yare valley The fen resource for the future: Identifies aims and objectives to restore fens to favourable nature conservation state Environmental constraints and opportunities - Using the fen management strategy: - During the fen vegetation resource survey, chemical variables of the substratum associated with various plant communities were measured.

  • Upton-Report-2017
    Upton with Fishley Parish Council Report to Chairman Parish Councillors and Residents 2017 Frank O'Neill - Broadland District Council Member for Blofield with South Walsham Date: 20 April 2017 This is my second Annual Report since I was elected to represent residents of Blofield with South Walsham. The Ward encompasses the following parishes: Blofield to include Blofield Heath; Hemblington; South Walsham; Upton with Fishley and Woodbastwick to include Ranworth, Panxworth. Quite what should go into this report I am still not sure. What follows is therefore a potpourri of events and issues that have drawn my attention through the year. Property development within the villages is an issue that always focuses attention. Change is not always good but some change is inevitable. Of course the greatest development activity is in Blofield but other parishes are not immune. I will not dwell on individual cases where the issues and outcomes are already known. This report comes primarily to the elected representatives of this parish. It is with them I have most regular contact. through the year. Might I ask that this report is published on the Parish web site for circulation in the wider community? I would be grateful.

  • Changes to Our Services Why Not Get
    July 2020 Changes to our Gardening Why not get services competition - involved? Page 4 - 5 results! Page 15 Page 13 Door to Door / July 2020 Thank you for your support! 2020 will probably not go down in many people’s estimation as a favourite year and we are only halfway through! The Coronavirus pandemic, and the Government’s restrictions, presented us all with an extraordinary set of curbs on our daily lives. At Broadland we had to change the way we work overnight. This has meant that we had to ask for a lot of patience and understanding from our tenants. Elaine and Michael sanitising communal touch surfaces in Dereham We had to suspend our routine repair service and instead focus only on emergency and urgent repairs - those that most impacted on your ability to live in your homes. Between lockdown and the start of June, we undertook almost 1,540 such repairs. A key priority was ensuring adequate cleaning and sanitising programmes in sheltered schemes, and communal areas in places such as flats, to reduce the risk of casual transmission of the virus. By 1 June, we had completed more than 1,000 additional cleaning visits. Despite the pandemic, we continued to prioritise compliance checks, including gas servicing. I know that some tenants have been unwilling to allow us into their homes, as they were shielding. This does mean that some gas checks are overdue, which worries me. I hope that we can find a way to catch up on the outstanding gas servicing visits before the end of August, ideally in July! Our offices remain closed for the foreseeable future.

  • Investigation Report Into the Flooding in Broadland Various in 2013- 2016 Report Reference: FIR037 Report Prepared by Nathalie Harris and Published on 16 August 2019
    Investigation Report into the flooding in Broadland Various in 2013- 2016 Report Reference: FIR037 Report prepared by Nathalie Harris and Published on 16 August 2019 1 Executive Summary (a) Flooding incidents and causes This report includes the internal flooding of 36 properties and highway flooding of 3 roads over a series of dates ranging from 2013-2016. Principally those included in this report are individual properties located across Broadland District within the following parishes: • Acle • Beighton • Blofield • Buxton with Lammas • Foulsham • Great and Little Plumstead • Hellesdon • Horsford • Lingwood & Burlingham • Newton St Faith • Pettywell • Reepham • Salhouse • Strumpshaw • Wroxham Catchments: • Hellesdon • Lackford Run • Reepham Beck The flooding that occurred was caused by: • Drainage system overloaded • Increased run-off • Drainage system or outfall blockage, unmaintained or obstructed • Surface run-off from roads • Surcharging of the drainage system; Entry of flood water into property • Property(ies) had structural issues • Neighbouring property • Obstruction of surface run-off flow paths by structures • Obstruction of surface run-off flow paths by debris. This led to the internal flooding of 36 properties. (b) Key recommendations Risk Management Authorities should; • Communicate with affected residents where their assets have given rise to the flooding of properties. • Review the appropriateness of their response to flooding. 2 • Determine the integrity and/or capacity of their assets and their maintenance where they have contributed to the flooding of properties to understand the systems role in accommodating rainfall events as well as mitigating flooding. Property owners of affected properties should; • Confirm the integrity, capacity and appropriateness of their property drainage • Determine if works are needed to remove the risk posed by structures that form obstructions to flows.
