SAB/pcmins/081018 /Page 1 of 11/221018 3 The Chairman welcomed Ruth Sainsbury Planning Officer to the Authority. The Authority contracted Ruth for a few months as a self-employed qualified Planner. She explained she was a Chartered Town Planner and had been a Senior Planning Officer at Broadland District Council for 17 years. At present, the main matter she was dealing with was the Marina Quays application at Great Yarmouth. 3/3 Minutes: 14 September 2018 The minutes of the meeting held on 14 September 2018 were agreed and the Chairman signed them as a correct record. 3/4 Points of Information Arising from the Minutes (1) Minute 2/10 Marina Quays: (Also part of the report under Minute 3/9) The Head of Planning reported that a number of objectors had convened a public meeting on 4 October 2018 to discuss the proposed development at Marina Quays in Great Yarmouth. Approximately 70 – 80 people attended the meeting where the developers described their proposals, the Authority’s officers set out the planning process and there was an opportunity for questions. There was a wide ranging discussion with the main issues being access relating to highways and an existing public right of way, design and scale of the development, the moorings and how the boatyard would operate. The applicant was considering how to proceed and a report would be brought to the Committee in due course, although this was unlikely to be before December 2018. (2) Matter arising from a previous meeting The Chairman commented that he wished to report back to the Planning Committee on a decision taken at the last Broads Authority meeting because it was originally raised at a Planning Committee meeting on 23 June in 2017. The matter concerned the conduct of a member and a subsequent Code of Conduct Complaint. He stated: ‘The Broads Authority resolved at its meeting on the 28th September 2018 : (i) to express its thanks to the Members of the Hearings Committee who had the task of dealing with the matter; (ii) to express its profound regret for the serious distress this issue has caused members of staff over a protracted period; (iii) to note that the investigation found that Officers did not in any way mislead the Planning Committee at all, far less “wilfully and deliberately”, and that the Authority reaffirms its unqualified confidence in its officers.’ SAB/pcmins/081018 /Page 2 of 11/221018 4 The Chairman stated that it would not be appropriate to discuss the matter and therefore it would now rest. (3) Minute 2/11 Lake Lothing Third River Crossing The Head of Planning reported that the Broads Authority’s comments had been submitted to the Planning Inspector. As part of their case, Suffolk County Council wished to agree a Statement of Common Ground with the Authority. Officers would prepare this with the Chair of the Planning Committee. 3/5 To note whether any items have been proposed as matters of urgent business There were no items of urgent business. 3/6 Chairman’s Announcements and Introduction to Public Speaking Public Speaking The Chair stated that as there were no planning applications for consideration there would be no public speaking. 3/7 Requests to Defer Applications and /or Vary the Order of the Agenda The Chair proposed to vary the order of the Agenda to take Agenda Item 12 before item 9 to avoid the Chairman of Somerton Parish Council (Mr Richard Starling), having an unnecessary wait as he was attending specifically for the item on Somerton Conservation Area re-appraisal. 3/8 Applications for Planning Permission There were no applications for planning permission to consider at this meeting. In accordance with Minute 3/7 and Standing Order No 3 (2)(a) Agenda Item 12 was considered at this point in the meeting. 3/9 Enforcement Update The Committee received an updated report on enforcement matters previously referred to Committee. Further updates were provided for: Burghwood Barns, Burghwood Road, Ormesby St Michael.

The Committee commended the detailed response prepared and thanked officers for the thoroughness in their examination. The Chairman proposed the recommendation in the report and it was RESOLVED unanimously that the report is noted and that the proposed response be endorsed for submission to Great Yarmouth Borough. 3/11 Great Yarmouth Third River Crossing The Committee received a report and presentation on the recent consultation on the planning application for the third river crossing across the lower Yare at Great Yarmouth submitted by Norfolk County Council. This development was a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) and therefore the Planning Inspectorate would determine the application. It was noted that initial discussions for a third river crossing had been held in 2007. Substantial funding towards the crossing had now been secured from the Department of Transport in 2017. The crossing was to be sited towards the south-east of the town approximately 1 kilometre south of the Haven Bridge at one of the narrowest crossing points of the river.
