ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT About this document This Site Specifics Development Plan Document (DPD) is a Planning Policy Document and the policies within it will inform and guide decisions by the Broads Authority. In the document, sites are allocated in different areas of the Broads for different uses. The policies set certain requirements that development proposals on these sites should address. Consultation to date To date, this document has undergone public consultation on four occasions: i. Initial Stage Consultation: the consultation ran from 11 March to 3 May 2011. Consultees were asked to suggest what should be included in the DPD. ii. Draft Policies Stage: the consultation ran from 23 February to 5 April 2012. Consultees were asked if they agreed or not with the choice and detail of the draft policies and the provisional rejection of other policies. iii. Additional Consultation for West Somerton: 15 May to 31 May 2012. A simple survey was completed to provide the Authority with a broad measure of local support for amending the development boundary. iv. Pre-submission Consultation (first publication): 1 November to 13 December 2012. The document was published for comments relating to its soundness. Explanation for the delay in the submission It was intended to submit the Site Specifics DPD in early spring 2013 However, there are on-going legal proceedings with regard to a site at Thorpe Island, which may affect the proposed policy for that site (TSA2). Awaiting the outcome of these proceedings delayed the submission of the DPD. Due to the proceedings experiencing further delay it has been decided to removed TSA2 from the DPD in order that the submission process is no longer delayed. Changes since the first Publication DPD This document has changed since the first Publication document consulted on in November and December 2012. The changes are summarised as: policy TSA2 has been removed from this Sites Specifics DPD; spelling and grammar issues have been amended; some wording has been amended to make the messages clearer; minor mistakes or inconsistencies in the DPD which we have since identified have been corrected; 5 Broads Sites Specifics Development Plan Document – Second Publication. text has been
