Heard v Broadland DC MR JUSTICE OUSELEY: 1. The Claimant, Mr Heard, challenges the adoption by the Defendants of their Joint Core Strategy on 22 March 2011, a development plan document created under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 for their areas. The challenge is brought under s113 of that Act, on the grounds that the Joint Core Strategy, JCS, was not within the powers of the Act, or there had been a procedural failing which had prejudiced the Claimant. 2. The three Defendants are district councils: Broadland DC and South Norfolk DC which surround Norwich City Council’s area to the north and south respectively. The three have co-operated to produce a Joint Core Strategy for their areas. This includes the Norwich Policy Area, NPA, which covers the whole of the City Council’s area and, putting it very broadly, the parts of the other two Councils’ areas which lie closer to the City. 3. Part of the JCS involves meeting the growth requirements for the NPA laid down in the Regional Spatial Strategy, RSS, as adopted in 2008; it is now the Regional Strategy. The JCS, in order to meet its statutory obligation to conform generally to the RSS, had to provide for the stipulated levels of growth; but it was for the JCS to decide where that should take place. The JCS includes, as part of its provision for the RSS requirement, major growth in an area to the north east of Norwich known as the North East Growth Triangle, predictably, NEGT. 4. Mr Heard is a resident in that area north east of Norwich which is earmarked for major growth in the JCS. He is the chairman of an action group, Stop Norwich Urbanisation, SNUB. Although opposed to urbanisation generally, Mr Heard contends that the JCS is unlawful because the Strategic Environmental Assessment, SEA, which the Councils had undertaken, did not comply with two requirements: first, that it explain which reasonable alternatives to urban growth in the North East Growth Triangle they had selected to examine and why, and second, that it examine reasonable alternatives in the same depth as the preferred option which emerged. It was not said that the examination of the preferred option was itself inadequate, nor that changes in circumstance required a further examination of previously discarded alternatives. The Defendants contended that the work they had done was sufficient for these purposes. 5. His second ground was that the Strategic Environmental Assessment was further unlawful since it did not assess the impact of a proposed new highway, the Northern Distributor Road, the NDR, or of alternatives to it. The NDR was fundamental to the achievement of the full development of the North Eastern Growth Triangle, though there was a case for it even without that development. The Defendants contended that the NDR had been adequately assessed in documents prepared by the highway authority, Norfolk County Council, and that although the JCS supported and in some ways promoted the NDR, it was not for it to assess it or to consider alternatives to it. The County Council was part of the informal Greater Norwich Development Partnership, GNDP, with the three District Councils. 3 Judgment Approved by the court for handing down. Heard v Broadland DC The legislative framework 6. A plan such as the JCS has to be subject to what is called Strategic Environment Assessment, by virtue of Directive 2001/42/EC on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment.” This has been transposed into domestic law by the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004 SI no.1633. Regulation 8 prohibits a plan being adopted until regulation 12, amongst others, has been complied with. Regulation 13 requires the plan, when in draft, and its accompanying environmental report to be subject to public consultation. Regulation 8 prohibits

    WYMONDHAM COLLEGE 1964 MAGAZINE ALDERMAN SAM PEEL It is with deep regret that we record the death of Alderman Sam Peel, who was Chairman of the Norfolk Education Committee from 1941 until March of this year and a Governor of the School from its opening in 1951 until his death on the 18th May ; in his passing the school has lost one of its best friends and supporters . His name is indelibly linked with Wymondham College, for the first permanent building, named Peel Hall, contains within its walls the foundation stone laid by him in July, 1955 . He worked persistently for the causes that seemed to him worthwhile-the advancement of Wymondham College was one of them and rejoiced whole- hearted in their good fortune and success . Few men have been so free from a desire for personal aggrandisement. Above all he was steadfast in his friendships and possessed a kindliness that made it natural for him to give help where help was needed . Those of us who were fortunate enough to know him, will remember him especially for the inspiring addresses he gave in College Chapel . R.V.M. Volume 2, Number 1 .
