Water Cycle Study Stage 1
Greater Norwich Development Partnership Water Cycle Study – Stage 1 Final 3 Data Collection and Catchment Characteristics The data collection was the first process in Stage 1 of the Water Cycle Study. A request of information was sent to the stakeholders and interested parties and is outlined in Appendix H. Missing data were identified and subsequent requests were undertaken in discussion with the relevant stakeholders. The information was recorded on an external hard-drive and it is intended that this will be submitted to the GNDP on completion of the study. GIS formed the cornerstone of the data analysis, and where possible the data requested was inclusive of a spatial referencing so that it could be compared and contrasted with other datasets. The analysis was undertaken using MapInfo software. Other reports were reviewed to assist in the generation of this document. These are referenced in Section 10 and include: • JCS Strategic Growth Options • Corby Water Cycle Strategy – Phase 1 • North Northamptonshire Outline Water Cycle Strategy • Initial Growth Paper (GNDP) The major disciplines within the WCS are identified below. 3.1 Flood Risk & Hydrology The Environment Agency is responsible for managing flood defence in England and Wales and has provided the flood risk and hydrology information for the Study Area. A Strategic Flood Risk Assessment has been commissioned for the Greater Norwich area; however, this was not available for review during Stage 1 of the Water Cycle Study. Therefore, for the purpose of this report the floodplain outlines that have been used in the assessment of the growth areas are those provided by the Environment Agency. -
Norfolk Rivers Drainage Board
Water Management Alliance (Eastern) Norfolk Rivers Drainage Board BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN April 2018 NORFOLK RIVERS IDB – BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN Front cover images (L-R) ; Himalayan Basalm; Barn Owl; White Clawed Crayfish; Otter; River Nar; IDB Digger 2 FOREWORD This Biodiversity Action Plan (Second Edition) has been prepared by the Norfolk Rivers Internal Drainage Board, in accordance with the commitment to the Implementation Plan of the DEFRA Internal Drainage Board Review, requiring IDBs to produce their own Biodiversity Action Plans by April 2010. As such, the original version was published in January 2010. This revised version aims to continue to align the Norfolk Rivers IDB with biodiversity policy and more specifically, the Biodiversity document for England, “Biodiversity 2020: A strategy for Englands’ Wildlife and Ecosystem Services” and build on the Government’s 25 Year Environmental Plan; A Green Future. In doing so, the document strives to demonstrate the Board’s commitment to fulfilling its duty as a public body under the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006, to conserve biodiversity. Many of the Board’s activities have benefits and opportunities for biodiversity, not least its water level management and watercourse maintenance work. It is hoped that this Biodiversity Action Plan will help the Board to maximise the biodiversity benefits from its activities and demonstrate its contribution to the targets as part of the Biodiversity 2020 strategy and achieve wider environmental improvement within its catchments. The Board has adopted the Biodiversity Action Plan as one of its policies and subject to available resources is committed to its implementation. It will review the plan periodically and update it as appropriate. -

CENTRAL NORFOLK NCA EXTRACT BROADLAND DISTRICT LCA EXTRACT National Character 78. Central North Norfolk Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 78. Central North Norfolk Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment 1 2 3 White Paper , Biodiversity 2020 and the European Landscape Convention , we are North revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas East that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision- Yorkshire making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. -

Introduction This study provides information on the existing Green Infrastructure (GI), Biodiversity and designated Historic Environment assets for proposed allocations within the Greater Norwich Local Plan (GNLP) area. It also outlines opportunities for potential enhancements of GI related to these based on existing data. As such this is desktop study and does not replace detailed site survey and design work. The information provided will also make a link between county level GI strategy, local GI plans and proposed development sites. The aim being to help GI decision making at an allocation level. 2. Background The main GI datasets – Strategic GI corridors and GI assets (shown in Maps 1 & 2) are taken from mapping produced for the Norfolk Green Infrastructure Mapping Project produced for Local Authorities and published in June 20181. This mapped the current best assessment of existing GI assets from a wide range of sources and includes a range of formal and informal access sites across the county. This includes the Norfolk Trails network, Public Rights of Way (PRoW), open access land (as identified under the CRoW Act), accessible and partially accessible nature reserves, and coastal access land. -
