The site is to the Northern end of the village, with the boundary of cliffs running down to the North sea to the North East and Cromer Road to the South West. The site is heavily wooded, with open fields to the North West and South East. The original Hall sits towards the North West of the site with the later school buildings to the middle and south. The site has been developed over the period having gone through a variety of uses, in 1886 the Hall was owned by Samuel Hoare who was an MP in Norwich in 1886, it has also been used as a Methodist holiday home before it became a special needs school in 1950.

The sections are intended to inform each other and build up a raft account of the available evidence and any necessary expertise.

A class base in the form of an ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder) modular accommodation to the East of the site. 2. A Science class base as an extension of the later school buildings. The proposals are set out in the Planning application. This Heritage Statement should be read in conjunction with the information in the Planning Application. 2.2 Summary of the Works Taken from the Design and Access Statement The New Buildings The ASD modular accommodation building consists one class base, three group rooms, a store, a Cleaner’s store, a DDA compliant W.C, a standard W.C, and lobby/cloak area.

Appearance The proposed modular accommodation building will be Plastisol coated steel in grey with areas of cedar timber cladding, a shallow pitched Polymeric single ply membrane roof covering. The windows will be double glazed.

The doors and windows will be a grey (RAL 7015) aluminium doubled glazed sealed units. Layout Following consideration of all potential locations on the site and consultation with the School the proposed locations support the specialist requirements of the School. Landscape An arboriculturist has surveyed the site and has indicated that one tree of limited value is to be removed to the south of the proposed ASD modular accommodation. The report also stipulates that a watching brief is undertaken during the excavations for services in the vicinity of ASD modular building and for the new soakaway for the Science class base extension. 7 Job No. 01-02-15-1-1007 3 Assessment of Heritage Significance Sidestrand Hall Special School 3.0 Assessment of Heritage Significance Over time our attitude towards such assets has evolved and sensitised, this has been aided by such groups 3.1 Significance of the Site as the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings and the Venice Charter, the Burra Charter together with the Heritage Lottery Fund and English Heritage.

  • Notice of North Norfolk District Council Interim Review of Polling Places
    Notice of North Norfolk District Council Interim Review of Polling Places 2020 Notice is given that North Norfolk District Council, in accordance with sections 18A to 18E of the Representation of the People Act 1983, is undertaking an interim review of some polling places within its area following the three elections held across the district in 2019. In total we are looking at reviewing polling arrangements in eight of our Polling Districts. The first three changes are to make permanent the arrangements which were put in place as a temporary measure in 2019 and are as follows: Matlaske (GR8) Matlaske Parish Council expressed a preference for their community to vote at Baconsthorpe Village Hall, rather than Little Barningham Village Hall due to a lack of parking at the latter location and this request was agreed. Sustead (ER8) The lack of availability of the polling station at Sustead saw voters from Bessingham, Metton and Sustead vote at Hanworth Village Hall and it is believed that this arrangement worked well and could operate in this way in the future, especially with the refurbishments of Hanworth Village Hall almost being complete. Tunstead (HT8) The polling station for Tunstead moved from the Primary School to the Community Room in the Horse and Groom Public House as the Primary School is no longer available to use following a change in its administration. The next five changes are the proposals to close existing Polling Stations and to use existing stations in nearby Polling Districts: Bale (PR1) The Parish of Gunthorpe is currently served by two Polling Stations either side of the A148 with Gunthorpe North (PR1) using Bale Village Hall and Gunthorpe South (PR4) using Gunthorpe Village Institute.

  • Overstrand Via Northrepps Stroll Along Winding Rural Roads, Climb up Steep
    Overstrand via Northrepps Overstrand via Northrepps Stroll along winding rural roads, climb up steep sandy lanes and footpaths in Northrepps before enjoying good views over the coast on the way back down to Overstrand Getting started Catch Sanders bus services 5 between Holt, Sheringham, Cromer and North Walsham and ask for the bus stop on the High Street in Overstrand. Timetable information can be found on the Traveline website or telephone 0871 200 22 33 or on Sanders website. Unfamiliar with the area? You might find it helpful to a map with you. The Ordnance Survey Explorer Series map covering Overstrand is Norfolk Coast East, map number 252. Overstrand lobster pots Refreshments There are several refreshment opportunities in Overstrand including the Cliff Top Café on Cliff Road (dogs welcome), the White Horse public house on the High Street and the Sea Marge Hotel, also on the High Street (dogs welcome). Along the way in Northrepps you pass close to the Foundry Arms public house on Church Street (dogs welcome). What to expect Allow up to two hours for this four mile rural walk which takes you inland and well away from the busy coast. The walk explores the hilly agricultural landscape via a mix of ‘quiet lanes’, public footpaths and farm tracks as well as through the fascinating village of Overstrand. Walking in winter or after a period of rain? Don’t forget boots or even wellies: you will be walking through a working agricultural landscape and the farm tracks will be muddy!

Description and Reasons for Notification: This stretch of cliffs between Overstrand and Mundesley on the north-east coast of Norfolk provides a fine series of geological exposures in unconsolidated Pleistocene sediments and in the underlying chalk. These cliffs, which extend for a distance of 6.5 kilometres and are up to 60 metres high, are subject to frequent cliff falls and slumping. This mobility creates a mosaic of habitats from bare clay and sand to ruderal communities and semi-stabilised grassland with occasional seepage lines which support an outstanding assemblage of invertebrates. Four aspects of the geology of the site are of special interest; the chalk, the Pleistocene sediments, fossil vertebrates and mass movement. The chalk is exposed on the foreshore and cliffs in a series of blocks which have been thrust upwards by glacial action. It has a rich fossil invertebrate fauna which has enabled much of the chalk to be assigned to the Lower Maastrichtian stage i.e.
