    BEETLEY PARISH COUNCIL Dawn Meadow Fakenham Road East Bilney Dereham NR20 4HT 01362 861112 Dear Parishioner PROPOSED MINERAL EXTRACTION AND WASTE DISPOSAL SITES IN BEETLEY, EAST BILNEY, OLD BEETLEY AND GRESSENHALL – THE LATEST NEW PLANS You may remember being contacted by a Committee of the Parish Council during 2008-09 regarding plans by Norfolk County Council to site a number of mineral extraction and waste disposal pits between the villages within the Parish of Beetley. A public meeting and several leaflet distributions were organised to discuss the plans. Due to changes in local government policy, and the timing of the 2010 General Election, the proposals were delayed and temporarily put on hold. Norfolk County Council has recently reopened the consultation process, and there are now advanced proposals to locate two new sand and gravel extraction pits and two new waste disposal sites in the area between the four villages of Beetley, East Bilney, Gressenhall and Old Beetley. Please note that the sites include some new areas not previously identified for potential development. The deadline for local villagers to raise objections to the plans is 15th August 2011, so it is important that you make your views known to Norfolk County Council as soon as possible. The four sites now under consideration: • MIN 10a – Mineral extraction is proposed on a large area of land bordering the B1146, between Beetley and East Bilney, on the Old Beetley side of the main Dereham - Fakenham Road. (In the original proposals MIN 10a was listed as three separate sites: MIN 10, MIN 11 and MIN 12, with revised boundaries.) It is proposed that minerals are extracted from this site and transported under School Lane, via an extension to the existing conveyor belt, to the current quarry at East Bilney.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.

Then from the 1840s it became a gateway to the world. Three new docks - Royal Victoria, Royal Albert and King George V - and the trades that grew around them transformed this area into the industrial heart of the world’s largest port. A busy day in King George V Dock (1965) But this success was not to last. © PLA / Museum of London When the docks closed in 1981 North Woolwich was left isolated and in decline. So a series of projects were established to revive the area, complete with new buildings and transport networks.

Introduction The idea of the Thetford Loops came as part of the Urban Design Framework Study completed by Roger Evans Associates in 2009. Essentially, it would be a cycling and walking route that passes by and takes in the various and numerous attractions that Thetford has to offer as well as providing a safe and convenient way for cyclists and walkers to get around the town for every day journeys. The original route resulted from a desk top study. The idea and draft route was part of the Thetford Area Action Plan (TAAP) Preferred Options Consultation held between February and April 2009. The consultation exercise resulted in some very helpful comments for all the draft policies in the TAAP. With regards to the Thetford Loop, there was general support if it is going to be designed and put in place in the right way, having regard to various issues such as illegal motorcycling and litter.

  • Thurrock Transport Strategy, 2013-2026
    Thurrock Transport Strategy 2013 – 2026 Executive Summary Background This Thurrock Transport Strategy describes Thurrock Council’s transport strategy for the period 2013 to 2026. Based on a robust evidence base and feedback from residents and key stakeholders, it sets out the aims, objectives and a series of policies for delivering transport improvements in Thurrock. As such, this document comprises the required strategy element of the third Local Transport Plan (LTP3) for Thurrock. In addition to a transport strategy, local highway authorities are also required to develop and submit an implementation plans alongside their strategy, and these implementation plans support the delivery of this strategy. The first of these implementation plans was published in March 2011 and spans the period from 2011/12 to 2014/15. The previous Thurrock Transport Strategy 2008 – 2021 set out the Council’s transport policies and priorities. However, there arose a need for this to be refreshed in response to a number of important changes to the context in which the Thurrock Transport Strategy was developed. These changes include: • Lakeside expansion to a Regional Town Centre consisting of 3,000 additional homes and 9,000 additional jobs; • Tilbury Port expansion including 4,000 additional jobs; • London Gateway Port consisting of approximately 12,000 direct jobs by 2021, with a further 30,000 indirect jobs created in the UK • The delivery of the local growth agenda in Thurrock, focussed around five growth hubs in Grays, Lakeside and West Thurrock, London
