RESOLVED that this be noted. 45/16 DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST 45/16/01 There were no Declarations of Interest to record other than those already recorded in the Register of Members Interests. RESOLVED that this be noted. 46/16 MINUTES OF THE LAST BOARD MEETING 46/16/01 The minutes of the last Board meeting held on 19 May 2016 were approved and signed as a true record. Arising therefrom: 46/16/02 Planning (29/16/03) The Project Engineer reported that he had commented on the site MP/ development plan for the proposed development in Reepham and would GE comment on the planning application once it had been submitted to Broadland DC. Broadland DC appointed member Mr G Everett would also liaise with the Project Engineer on this as he was the councillor for the Reepham ward. RESOLVED that this be noted. 46/16/03 Creation of new IDBs/New Business Development (41/16/02) The Chief Executive reported that Defra was currently going through the legal process required and was on schedule to constitute the new Pevensey and Cuckmere Water Level Management Board on 1 October 2016. RESOLVED that this be noted. 47/16 MINUTES OF THE LAST EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING 2 ID Norfolk Rivers IDB, Minute Action 47/16/01 The minutes of the last Executive Committee meeting held on 19 May 2016 were considered in detail and approved. There were no matters arising. 48/16 OPERATIONS REPORT 48/16/01 The Operations Report was considered in detail and approved (a copy of which is filed in the Report Book). Arising therefrom: 48/16/02 Health and Safety (2) There were no accidents, incidents or near misses to record during this reporting period. 48/16/03 Water Level Management Plans – River Nar Restoration (4) East Lexham Estate and West Lexham Lakes The Operations Engineer provided an update on plans for the next four phases of work and reported that consultation with local landowners, stakeholders and statutory authorities was scheduled to take place in October 2016. 48/16/04 Mr N Foster recorded that he was waiting to see the detailed design PG drawings for these works as he had some concerns about what the works would actually achieve, given that the lake would virtually disappear and the River Nar upstream at Litcham was barely visible. The Operations Manager reported that he should receive the design plans in the near future and would then discuss these with Mr Foster to address his concerns. RESOLVED that this be noted. 48/16/05 Water Level Management Plans – River Nar Restoration (4) West Acre Mill The Operations Engineer reported that following consultation with local landowners, stakeholders and statutory authorities, works on site had commenced today, 18 August 2016. RESOLVED that this be noted. 48/16/06 Hydrology (6) Members considered the national update on recent weather conditions in the UK together with the rainfall data local to Norfolk. Mr M Sayer suggested that more localised updates would be more relevant. 49/16 PLANNING 49/16/01 The Planning Report, (included within the Operations Report and a copy on file in the Report Book), was considered in detail and approved. Arising therefrom: 49/16/02 Members considered and approved the responses made to Local Planning 3 ID Norfolk Rivers IDB, Minute Action Authorities during this reporting period, as recorded in the Planning Report, concerning planning applications with surface water drainage discharge that may have an impact on the Board’s drainage infrastructure. RESOLVED that this be noted. 49/16/03 The Project Engineer reported that it was his understanding that application PF/16/0407 to North Norfolk DC planning had been declined. RESOLVED that this be noted. 49/16/04 The Project Engineer reported that as previously agreed he was copying the relevant appointed members into his comments to the local authority planning departments. 49/16/05 The Chairman informed members of the proposed development of 200 MP houses at the Greens Road/Aylsham Road junction in North Walsham. North Norfolk DC appointed member Mr P Moore reported that North Norfolk DC councillors were aware and concerned about this proposed development which was located close to the Skeyton Beck watercourse, which is very narrow and would not be capable of taking fast surface water run-off. All concurred that if the development proceeded it may be necessary for the IDB to take a surface water development contribution from the developer in order to make improvements to the IDB drainage infrastructure to enable the system to take the increase in surface water run- off created by the development. RESOLVED that this be noted. 49/16/06 Crane Fruehauf Site Planning Application The Project Engineer would forward his comments on this application to Mr MP P Moore, North Norfolk DC appointed member. RESOLVED that this be noted. 50/16 ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT 50/16/01 The Environmental Report was considered in detail and approved (a copy of which is filed in the Report Book). Arising therefrom: 50/16/02 Giant Hogweed (1) Members considered the report on the large outbreak of non-native invasive CL/ species Giant Hogweed on the River Bure, which officers had reported to PJC the EA so that this could be included in the EA’s eradication programme. Members also noted the request to report any outbreaks to officers but not to attempt to deal with the plant as it may cause burns and other reactions to the skin. It was agreed and thereby RESOLVED that Norfolk Rivers IDB would fund £2,000 per annum towards work to eradicate Giant Hogweed in the Board’s district, in addition to its annual contribution of £1,667 to the Norfolk Non-Native Species Initiative, (NNSI). 50/16/03 Whiteclawed Crayfish (8) Members considered the report on the Technical and Environmental Officer CL/ 4 ID Norfolk Rivers IDB, Minute Action and Assistant’s recent training in how to survey and better understand the PJC ecology of the whiteclawed crayfish, and their attainment of a licence to do so. The whiteclawed crayfish, which is native to the IDB’s watercourses, still populated some parts of the River Wensum tributaries and the Upper Bure but is under threat of extinction due to the introduction of the non- native signal crayfish and outbreaks of crayfish plague. It was agreed and thereby RESOLVED to approve the recommendation to increase funding by £5,000 per year for four years for the Board’s Biodiversity Action Plan, (BAP) from 2017/18 to allow the Technical and Environmental Team to gain a better understanding of the ecology of the whiteclawed crayfish in the IDB’s watercourses and to possibly increase these populations, which would be of both national and international ecological importance. 51/16 FINANCIAL REPORT 51/16/01 The Financial Report for the period 1 April 2016 to 30 June 2016 was considered in detail and approved (a copy of which is filed in the Report Book). Arising therefrom: 51/16/02 The Chief Executive reported that the Highland Water Contribution from the EA was projected to be higher than originally estimated because of the increase in maintenance works undertaken. RESOLVED that this be noted. 51/16/03 The Chief Executive apprised members that the loss made on rechargeable works to 30 June 2016 was due to the Board agreeing to subsidise works on the Blackwater Scheme, however subsequent recharge works to date had realised a profit of circa £10,000. RESOLVED that this be noted.

  • Great Dunham | Norfolk PEACE of the COUNTRY
    Great Dunham | Norfolk PEACE OF THE COUNTRY Tucked away in the village of Great Dunham, this four-bedroom property built in the mid-90s offers the tranquillity of the Norfolk countryside from the comfort of a modern home. With a large back garden and a setting next to the village green there is all the space you could want, but with easy access to the A47 and the market town of Swaffham. • Executive, Detached family home sitting in an established plot with generous gardens • Rural living with modern comforts and found within 2.5 Miles of Litcham School • Versatile accommodation which includes Entrance Hall, Shower Room, Music Room, Open Plan Kitchen/Family Room • Four Bedrooms (master measuring 21’4 x 21’), Family Bathroom and En-Suite • Utility/Boot Room, Off Road Parking and Double Garage with Front & Rear Gardens • Total Accommodation extends to 2391 sq.ft • Energy Rating D Space and Convenience The moment you pass through the gated entrance and along the gravelled drive and see the front lawn leading up to this family home, there’s the impression of spaciousness. A newbuild on land previously attached to the adjacent property, when the present owners moved into it in December 1996 they installed a new kitchen and carried out landscaping work in the large back garden, and it has been their family home ever since. The feeling of space persists once inside the property. “There’s a very large master bedroom with views over the rear garden. This is a feature but could easily be developed into two separate bedrooms if desired.” And below it, with a recently installed log fire to enjoy, “The back room facing the garden was used mainly for dining in the past but is now primarily enjoyed as a music room.” Add to that the potential for a conservatory, and to perhaps utilise the large roof void, then there is even more room that could be made use of if so required.

  • Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office
    Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office This list summarises the Norfolk Record Office’s (NRO’s) holdings of parish (Church of England) registers and of transcripts and other copies of them. Parish Registers The NRO holds registers of baptisms, marriages, burials and banns of marriage for most parishes in the Diocese of Norwich (including Suffolk parishes in and near Lowestoft in the deanery of Lothingland) and part of the Diocese of Ely in south-west Norfolk (parishes in the deanery of Fincham and Feltwell). Some Norfolk parish records remain in the churches, especially more recent registers, which may be still in use. In the extreme west of the county, records for parishes in the deanery of Wisbech Lynn Marshland are deposited in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, whilst Welney parish records are at the Cambridgeshire Record Office. The covering dates of registers in the following list do not conceal any gaps of more than ten years; for the populous urban parishes (such as Great Yarmouth) smaller gaps are indicated. Whenever microfiche or microfilm copies are available they must be used in place of the original registers, some of which are unfit for production. A few parish registers have been digitally photographed and the images are available on computers in the NRO's searchroom. The digital images were produced as a result of partnership projects with other groups and organizations, so we are not able to supply copies of whole registers (either as hard copies or on CD or in any other digital format), although in most cases we have permission to provide printout copies of individual entries.
