Minutes: (Page 1) To receive the Minutes of the last meeting held on 7 January 2011 3. Members to Declare any Interests Please indicate whether the interest is a personal one only or one which is prejudicial. A declaration of a personal interest should indicate the nature of the interest and the agenda item to which it relates. In the case of a personal interest, the member may speak and vote on the matter. Please note that if you are exempt from declaring a personal interest because it arises solely from your position on a body to which you were nominated by the County Council or a body exercising functions of a public nature (e.g. another local authority), you need only declare your interest if and when you intend to speak on a matter. If a prejudicial interest is declared, the member should withdraw from the room whilst the matter is discussed unless members of the public are allowed to make representations, give evidence or answer questions about the matter, in which case you may attend the meeting for that purpose. You must immediately leave the room when you have finished or the meeting decides you have finished, if earlier. These declarations apply to all those members present, whether the member is part of the meeting, attending to speak as a local member on an item or simply observing the meeting from the public seating area. 4. To receive any items of business which the Chairman decides should be considered as a matter of urgency 5.

Application C/6/2010/6005: Variation of Condition 1 of Planning Permission C/6/2009/6013 to Extend the Time Limit for the Use of Borrow Pit and Stockpile Field to 9 January 2012: Bloor Homes, Caister-on-Sea 5.1 The annexed report by the Director of Environment, Transport and Development was received. Planning permission was sought for the variation of condition 1 of planning permission C/6/2009/6013 in order to extend the use of the Borrow Pit and Stockpile Field to 9 January 2012. 5.2 The following comments were made in response to the report: Caister-on-Sea Parish Council had originally objected to this application. However, the proposal had been explained in more detail to the Parish Council and they had confirmed that they would agree to a further extension of time for 12 months, but at the end of the 12 months expect that piece of land to be restored and returned to the Parish Council for the Green Park Area that was originally agreed. The Parish Council also required a written agreement to this effect from the applicant and Norfolk County Council to confirm that no further extension of time applications would be allowed. Members were informed that if they approved the application, the Monitoring and Control Team of Environment, Transport and Development would continue to monitor the site and if it became apparent, around late summer 2011 that the expiry date could not be met, appropriate action would be instigated. One course of action could be to invite a further application for an extension of time. However, based upon the information that had been provided to Environment, Transport and Development the proposal was expected to be completed by 9 January 2012. Norfolk County Council could not enter into any agreements that no further extension of time applications would be submitted or allowed. Should the Parish Council require reassurance on this point, then it would be necessary for the Parish Council to enter into an agreement with Bloor Homes and they had been advised of this. When the Borough Council granted planning permission for the housing estate, a legal agreement was entered into requiring the application site to be restored to recreational open space and transferred to the Borough Council on its completion and prior to the 100th free market dwelling on the housing development being occupied.
