Final Version Proposed Quarry at Haddiscoe, Norfolk Environmental Impact Statement (Company Profile) 3.0 PLANNING BACKGROUND 3.1 Company Profile 3.1.1 Earsham Gravels was established in 1947 by Mr Bryan Bennett the father of the current owner and Managing Director Mr Jimmy Bennett. 3.1.2 The family first started in business by taking over a Sand and Gravel Quarry in the Waveney Valley at Earsham which had opened some time during the Second World War to supply various construction projects taking place at the time to support the war effort. The surrounding land and the mineral working were purchased by Mr Bennett shortly after the war had ended and extraction has continued at Earsham since that time. 3.1.3 Earsham Gravels became a limited Company in 1952 and continued to work land adjoining the original working area but this time in the ownership of the Earsham Estate. 3.1.4 Since that time the Company has continued to grow and now has a workforce of sixteen including two third generation members of the Bennett family. 3.1.5 Whilst the Company has retained the name of the parish where working first commenced, it has undertaken projects elsewhere in the County of Norfolk. In the 1980’s the Company worked from a small hoggin pit at Bergh Apton which has since closed and been restored. More recently the Company is currently working Sand and Gravel from a Quarry at Mundham, processessing and selling mineral dug from Mundham at a facility on the edge of Norwich at Caistor St Edmund. 3.1.6 The Company continues to be a family run business and is owned and controlled by the Managing Director, Mr Jimmy Bennett. 3.1.7 The Company takes an active role in encouraging and sponsoring local organisations and charities. 3.1.8 The Company also allows recreational activities to take place on its restored water-filled gravel pits at Earsham, including water skiing and fishing. 3.1.9 The Company has an adopted Environmental Policy which is designed, inter alia, to protect the environment, build good community relations and make best use of aggregates extracted (refer to Part V, Appendix R). October 2011 Created by Stephen M Daw Limited - 24 - .

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions Morningthorpe Recycling Centre Drainage Improvement Works Q. What is happening at Morningthorpe Recycling Centre? A. Morningthorpe Recycling Centre is having essential drainage improvement works and repair work carried out to the hard standing. Q. Why is the work needed? A. To run a waste site we are issued with an environmental permit and there are requirements for effective surface water drainage management. Morningthorpe Recycling Centre is a very old site and the surface water drainage needs upgrading to ensure we remain compliant with the tough regulations which protect the environment from the impact of dealing with waste at the site. The site also needs other essential repair work namely to the hard standing to ensure a safe surface for the public and also to allow bins to be lowered and lifted safely from our lorries. Q. How long will it take? A. The work will start on Tuesday 13th June and will last just under 8 weeks with the site reopening on Saturday 5th August. Q. Why is the work going on during the busy summer? A. A programme of work to upgrade surface water drainage has been ongoing across Norfolk’s Recycling Centres since 2008. Morningthorpe is the final site to be upgraded in the current programme of work. Planning permission was granted in January 2017 and an Environmental Permit was issued in 2016. The works were programmed to avoid the busy Easter and May Bank Holidays with the aim of reopening the site as close to the start of the summer holidays as possible. The work could not be further delayed due to the urgent need for repairs to the hardstanding.

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.

Recycling Centre Infrastructure Strategy Aims Norfolk's
Provision of Household Waste Recycling Centre Services Appendix M – Recycling Centre Infrastructure Strategy 2015 Review Aims Norfolk’s recycling centre service forms part of the waste disposal service provided by Norfolk County Council (NCC), with a core aim of reducing the impact of waste on the environment. The aims of the recycling centre strategy are set out below: • Review the existing strategy and determine whether it meets current requirements; • develop a strategic network of recycling centres that promote the waste hierarchy; • maintain or increase customer satisfaction; and • reduce costs and make savings to the authority; Executive Summary The existing service standard for recycling centre provision has been in place since 1985. Improvements to kerbside recycling, recycling centres and travel times provide an opportunity to review the standard 30 years on. Forecast population growth and inadequacies in some sites mean that development of the current network will be required over the next few years. The recycling centre strategy proposes a series of changes including updating the service standard to a more relevant ‘drive-time’, updating the current infrastructure to meet both current and future needs over the next decade and a number of cost-saving options including redesigning the network and reviewing the locations of sites to allow a smaller, more strategically linked, network of sites to cover Norfolk.
