  • Greater Norwich Development Partnership
    Joint Core Strategy for Broadland, Norwich and South Norfolk Public Consultation Regulation 25 March 2009 Public Consultation - Regulation 25, March 2009 IMPORTANT NOTE – development of this document In 2007 and early 2008 the Greater Norwich Development Partnership (GNDP) undertook a considerable amount of work to develop a Joint Core Strategy for the area covered by Broadland, Norwich and South Norfolk councils, except for the Broads Authority area. This involved a major consultation exercise from November 2007 to February 2008, looking at ‘issues and options’. The document which formed the focus of this work, and the summary leaflet, looked at possible approaches to a wide range of topics including different ways of accommodating the level of new development necessary to meet the requirements of the East of England Plan. This included looking at alternative locations where large scale development might be located in the area close to Norwich. The GNDP intended to produce a ‘preferred option’ for public consultation last summer. However, changes to the plan-making process in June 2008 meant that the preferred option stage was removed. To comply with the new procedures the Partnership carried out a technical consultation with statutory agencies, service providers, organisations that deliver infrastructure, and other key stakeholders in August 2008. It asked them for guidance to develop the ‘content’ of the strategy and asked whether our current approach is one they could support. Technical consultees were asked to consider three options for the distribution of major growth in and around Norwich and on major sites. During autumn 2008 the information provided by technical consultees and further results from evidence studies, were presented to Councillors from the four GNDP councils who agreed to publish the emerging Joint Core Strategy for full public consultation.This consultation document now includes the favoured option for large scale housing growth in and around Norwich, and on major sites (see Appendix 0 on page 59).

  • Technical Consultation Regulation 25
    Joint Core Strategy for Broadland, Norwich and South Norfolk Technical Consultation Regulation 25 August 2008 Page 2 of 83 Technical Consultation - Regulation 25, August 2008 IMPORTANT NOTE – development of this document In 2007 and early 2008 the Greater Norwich Development Partnership (GNDP) undertook a considerable amount of work to develop a core strategy for the districts of Broadland Norwich and South Norfolk, except for the area under the jurisdiction of the Broads Authority. This led to a major consultation exercise from November 2007 to February, 2008, looking at ‘issues and options’. The document which formed the focus of this work, and the summary leaflet, looked at possible approaches to a wide range of topics including different ways of accommodating the level of new development necessary to meet the requirements of the East of England Plan. This included looking at alternative locations where large scale development might be located in the area close to Norwich. The intention was that this should lead to the publication of a ‘preferred options’ document in late summer/ autumn 2008. However, in June, 2008, new regulations governing the plan making process came into effect, removing the preferred options stage. Instead, the new regulations require authorities to consult ‘specific’ and ‘general’ bodies (as defined in regulations) on what the ‘content’ of the strategy should be. The regulations also require authorities to consider whether residents and businesses should be included at that stage. The next stage prescribed by the new regulations is the publication of a draft plan for full consultation and submission to the Government Office for the East of England, along with any representations made, for consideration at an independent examination.

  • Dickleburgh Conservation Area Character Appraisal and Management Guidelines
    Dickleburgh Conservation Area Character Appraisal and Management Guidelines December 2017 Working with you, working for you Content Introduction 3 Historical Development 4 Character Assessment 5 Conservation Management Guidelines 13 Appendix 1(i) - Listed Buildings in 15 Dickleburgh Conservation Area Appendix 1(ii) - Unlisted Buildings in 16 Dickleburgh Conservation Area which are of townscape significance Appendix 2 - Policy & Consultation 17 Appendix 3 - Conservation Area Boundary 19 Appendix 4 - Historic Map 20 Appendix 5 - Streetscape 21 Appendix 6 - Natural Character 22 2. Dickleburgh Conservation Area Character Appraisal Introduction The historic settlement of Dickleburgh grew along what was the Pye Roman Road and later became the Norwich to Ipswich turnpike. This accounts for the straightness of Ipswich Road and The Street, and the prevailing historic linear settlement pattern (Norwich Road slightly deviated to the west of the Roman Road line). Since the construction of the bypass in the 1990s the overall character of the village has changed with significant expansion to the east, and this is where the school and the village hall are now located. The most imposing building in the village remains the medieval church and it stands out as a striking landmark. Apart from The Gables and the former Baptist Church, it is the historic grouping of relatively humble cottages and smaller houses along The Street and Norwich Road that mainly forms the character of the area. The tight clustering of properties along The Street to the South of the church are also of interest because of their unusual window arrangements, an indication of former commercial uses. Under the terms of Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, the Local Planning Authority is required to identify areas of special architectural or historic interest whose character or appearance it is desirable to preserve or enhance, and to designate them as a conservation area.

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.
