  • Consultation on Planning Applications Site Between Wroxham Road
    Planning Committee 1 February 2013 Agenda Item No 9(ii) Consultation on Planning Application: Erection of Up to 3,520 Dwellings, 16,800 m2 Employment Space, 8,800 m2 Shops, Services, Cafes and Restaurants plus Hotel Accommodation, Two Schools, Community Space, Energy Centre, Cycle and Vehicle Parking, Public Open Space and Accesses on Site between Wroxham Road, Sprowston and St Faiths Road, Old Catton Report by Head of Development Management Summary: The Broads Authority has been consulted by Broadland District Council in respect of an application for a mixed use development on land to the north of Norwich. Recommendation: That no objection is raised to the application, but that comments are made regarding landscaping, bio-diversity mitigation and off- setting. 1 Background 1.1 The Joint Core Strategy (JCS) for Norwich City, Broadland District and South Norfolk Councils identifies 37,000 houses and 27,000 jobs to be delivered in the Greater Norwich Area up to 2026. The JCS was adopted in 2011, however, following a partially successful legal challenge in 2012, parts of it have been remitted back to the three authorities for repair. The revised JCS was submitted to the Secretary of State before Christmas. As part of the “repair” process the GNDP have identified that a floating small sites allowance of 2,000 homes is appropriate for the Broadland part of the Norwich Policy Area (NPA) leaving 7,000 new homes to be appropriately located within the NPA. The revised JCS “allocates” 7,000 dwellings north east of Norwich (including 25 hectares of employment land at Rackheath.

  • War Vets Showed Athletic Prowess in Winter Olympics
    War Vets Showed Athletic Prowess in Winter Olympics Jan 31, 2014 By Kelly Gibson The Winter Olympics are relatively young, appearing on the sporting scene for the first time in 1924. As early as 1928, though, war veterans participated. Here are a few of the better- known Olympian-vets among them. (Vets of the 10th Mountain Division who skied in the Olympics and biathlon vets are covered in separate articles.) Eddie P.F. Eagan (1897-1967) b. Denver, Colo. Eagan served stateside with the Artillery Corps during WWI, from July 4 to Dec. 28, 1918. However, during WWII, he saw service in the China-Burma-India and European theaters with the Army’s Air Transport Command. He served as chief of special services from May 13, 1942 until Sept. 30, 1944. As the only American to win a gold medal at both the Summer and Winter Olympics, Eagan showed natural athletic talent growing up. He is best known for his success as a boxer, winning titles in middle and heavyweight competitions. In 1919, he won the heavyweight title in the U.S. amateur championships as Yale’s boxing captain. Eagan, attending Oxford as a Rhodes scholar, became the first American amateur boxing champion of Great Britain. In 1920, Eagan participated in the Summer Olympics in Antwerp, where he won a gold medal in the lightweight boxing division. Despite having no experience with a bobsled, Eagan was invited to join the four-man team participating in the 1932 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, N.Y., along with fellow veteran Billy Fiske.
