It sets out who was consulted, how consultation was undertaken and when, for each stage of consultation. The main points raised as a result of each consultation are summarised including how representations were taken into account as part of the preparation of the Local Plan. 1.2 The preparation of the Local Plan has included evidence gathering, thorough research and extensive consultation from the outset. This Consultation Statement evidences the positive and responsive stance the Council has taken towards consultation and community involvement and demonstrates how the Council has proactively engaged with all stakeholders to develop the Local Plan, in accordance with Local Plan Regulations, the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and the Council's adopted Statement of Community Involvement (SCI). 1.3 This version is an early draft published to support the extended Regulation 18 stage consultation on the First Draft Local Plan and documents the process to date. It will be updated at each significant stage of Plan preparation. Legislation and the Statement of Community Involvement 1.4 The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act (2004) sets out the approach to plan preparation, including a strong emphasis on community engagement. Under Regulation 22(1)(c) of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012(1), the Local Planning Authority has a requirement to prepare a statement to submit to the Secretary of State alongside the Local Plan which provides detail on: i. which bodies and persons the local planning authority invited to make representations under regulation 18; ii. how those bodies and persons were invited to make representations under regulation 18; iii. a summary of the main issues raised by the representations made pursuant to regulation 18; iv. how any representations made pursuant to regulation 18 have been taken into account; v. if representations were made pursuant to regulation 20, the number of representations made and a summary of the main issues raised in those representations; and, vi. if no representations were made in regulation 20, that no such representations were made. 1.5 This interim Consultation Statement covers the above stages i - iv. 1.6 Further, consultation has been carried out in accordance with the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) paragraph 16(c) which requires plans 'be shaped by early, proportionate and effective engagement between plan-makers and communities, local organisations, businesses, infrastructure providers and operators and statutory consultees.' The Council has undertaken early and continuous community and stakeholder engagement 1 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2012/767/regulation/22/made 2 First Draft Local Plan - Interim Consultation Statement 1 Introduction in the Local Plan-making process to ensure that the needs and aspirations of the community and stakeholders have been fully taken into account in documents and decisions which help shape development in North Norfolk. Local Planning Authorities are required to produce a Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) to set out how and at what stages the community can take part in and influence the plan-making process. These documents guide engagement activity. The Council’s first SCI was adopted in April 2006 and the Regulation 18 Stage A consultation (discussed further on the following page) was carried out in accordance with its requirements. Subsequent consultations were undertaken in accordance with the approach and procedures set out in the updated SCI (adopted by the Council's Cabinet on 5 January 2016). Relationship to other Submission Documents 1.7 This Consultation Statement is one of a number of documents to be submitted to the Secretary of State alongside the emerging Local Plan. Other relevant documents which should be read alongside this Statement include: the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) for the plan: The SA process has been carried out alongside the preparation of the emerging Local Plan policies and site allocations and has informed its content, including policy drafts and the consideration of options for site allocations, including reasonable alternatives; the Duty to Cooperate: Statement of Compliance: The Duty to Cooperate statement demonstrates that North Norfolk District Council (NNDC) has successfully complied with the Duty to Cooperate requirement during Local Plan production, as prescribed in the Localism Act (2011) and the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (2012), including evidence of joint working and its effectiveness, outcomes arising from such working, and how joint working will continue into the future; The Equality Impact Assessment (EquIA): This is a tool that helps public authorities make sure their policies, and the ways they carry out their functions, do what they are intended to do for everybody. Carrying out an EquIA involves systematically assessing the likely (or actual) effects of the above on people in respect of age, disability, gender, race, religion, belief and sexual orientation. the Soundness Self-assessment: This self-assessment sets out how the Council considers that the Local Plan addresses key soundness requirements including whether the Local Plan is positively prepared, justified, effective, and is in accordance with national policy. The soundness self-assessment also includes an assessment of the effectiveness of the Plan, including whether

    History of Royal Cromer Golf Club established 1888 Information obtained from minute books, letters, members records, journals and periodicals. Royal Cromer Golf Club History Established 1888 Royal Cromer Golf Club owes its existence to the enthusiasm and love of the game of a Mr. Henry Broadhurst M.P., a Scot who lived at 19, Buckingham Street, The Strand, London. In the 1880's, whilst holidaying in Cromer, he recognised the potential of land to the seaward of the Lighthouse as a possible site for a Links Course. The popularity of North Norfolk at this time had been noted in the London City Press in a report dated 5th September 1886: "The public are greatly indebted to railway enterprise for the opening up of the East Coast. More bracing air and delightful sands are not to be found in any part of England. The only drawback is that the country is rather flat. This remark, however, does not apply to Cromer, which bids fair to become the most popular watering place, it being entirely free from objectionable features". The site of the proposed golf course was owned by the then Lord Suffield KCB, who kindly consented to the request of Broadhurst and some twenty other enthusiasts to rent the land. The Club was instituted in the Autumn of 1887 with Lord Suffield as President. Doubtless it was his friendship and influence with the Prince of Wales which precipitated the Prince's gracious patronage of the infant club on 25th December 1887. Thus Cromer had a Royal Golf Club even before its official opening the following January.

If you would like this document in larger print or in any another format please contact Town Clerk, Holt Town Council, [email protected] or telephone 01263 712149 2 Holt Neighbourhood Plan Pre-Submission Version v1 Holt Neighbourhood Development Plan Foreword Welcome on behalf of Holt Town Council and Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group to the Holt Neighbourhood Plan, which will have a positive impact on many aspects on the future of Holt. We have to be realistic about housing in that the necessity for more homes is nationwide and we shall not escape certain numbers being allocated to Holt. However, with the Holt Neighbourhood Plan addressing topics such as character, style and size, we at least have the opportunity to guide planning to suit the needs of our own residents and necessary infrastructure, as our Plan will be a document which gives legal weight. Neighbourhood Development Plans arise from the Government’s Localism Agenda to ensure that local communities are closely involved in the decisions that affect them. Through the aspirations and needs of the local community of Holt you have identified matters which will help to determine how our town changes over the coming years. The Holt Neighbourhood Plan has been developed over the course of the last few years and drafted by a Steering Group that includes Town Councillors, local business owners and representatives from the local community.

  • Heritage & Community Railways Unite to Encourage Day Trippers to Make A
    Heritage & Community Railways unite to encourage day trippers to make a day of it – on the trains! August 27, 2021 The Heritage Railway Association (HRA) is backing Community Rail Network’s ‘Days Out by Rail’ campaign to encourage more day trippers to leave the car at home and take the train, well two trains in fact, for an educational and fun filled day out at one of the many Heritage Railways accessible from the main line. The idea, to use community railways to travel to one of the 32 heritage railway lines connected to the national network or have an interchange with it*, is part of a wider national awareness campaign to highlight green, scenic leisure travel by rail. The eight-week initiative being led by Community Rail Network’s tourism arm, Scenic Rail Britain, is raising awareness about rail as one of the greenest ways to travel – especially combined with walking, cycling and buses – avoiding traffic jams and parking and making the journey part of the experience. HRA CEO, Steve Oates said: “Days Out by Rail may sound familiar for those of us of a certain age who remember as a child setting off for a day out on the train with the family Rover Ticket or Away Day special on the Intercity 125. Updating the idea of Days Out by Rail not only encourages travel but, this time, sustainable travel. What better way to enjoy the UK rail network through the ages in one day, travelling from a local station on the national network to link up with a heritage line? “It is definitely much more relaxing that being behind the wheel in a traffic jam on your way to a tourist attraction.

Even schemes buoyed by a visit from the S of S for Transport are still at an early stage, eg Skipton - Colne at Decision to Initiate, and Ashington - Blythe – Tyne at Decision to Develop. No scheme can proceed into delivery until it has a Decision to Deliver. So, taken at face value, even Phase 2 of the Western section of East West Rail (Bicester - Bedford) has yet to be confirmed.
