The things we enjoy about North Norfolk are often the result of the activities of local communities and the environment. Sometimes these are incidental, sometimes they have evolved over a very long time, sometimes they are planned; whatever the case we need to try and ensure that future communities can enjoy the same kind of North Norfolk that we do. That is not to say that things will remain the same; the area faces many pressures and challenges, including meeting people's housing needs, providing well-paid jobs, protecting the environment and addressing the threats from flood risk and coastal erosion. The process of preparing new planning documents is a long and complex one. We have spent a great deal of time exploring the issues, options, and considering alternatives, consulting with a wide range of organisations, and speaking to the community. This process has allowed us to discuss many issues with many people and this has provided a solid foundation on which to present the sites which are allocated for a variety of uses.
