Beccles Neighbourhood Plan – Agreeing to Consult Report by Planning Policy Officer Planning Committee 04 December 2020 Agenda item number 10 Beccles Neighbourhood Plan – agreeing to consult Report by Planning Policy Officer Summary The Beccles Neighbourhood Plan is ready for public consultation. Recommendation To agree that the Beccles Neighbourhood Plan proceeds to consultation. 1. Introduction 1.1. The Beccles Neighbourhood Plan is ready for consultation. The Plan says: ‘This document represents the Neighbourhood Plan for the town of Beccles for the period 2019 to 2036. The Plan contains a vision for the future of Beccles and sets out clear planning policies to realise this vision. The principal purpose of the Neighbourhood Plan is to guide development within the town. It also provides guidance to anyone wishing to submit a planning application for development within the town. The process of producing a plan has sought to involve the community as widely as possible. The different topic areas are reflective of matters that are of considerable importance to Beccles, its residents, businesses and community groups.’ 1.2. This report seeks agreement for public consultation to go ahead. It should be noted that the Broads Authority is a key stakeholder and is able to comment on the Plan. It is likely that a report with these comments will come to the next Planning Committee for endorsement. 2. Consultation process 2.1. East Suffolk Council will write to or email those on their contact database about the consultation. The Broads Authority will also notify other stakeholders who may not be on East Suffolk Council’s consultee list. Paper copies for inspection will be made available by Beccles Town Council, and by East Suffolk Council on request. The consultation will run for 8 weeks, which takes into consideration the Christmas holidays and any access restrictions related to COVID-19. Planning Committee, 04 December 2020, agenda item number 10 1 3. Next steps 3.1. Once the consultation ends, comments will be collated and the Town Council may wish to submit the Plan for assessment. The Town Council, with the assistance of East Suffolk Council and the Broads Authority, will choose an Examiner. Examination tends to be by written representations. The Examiner may require changes to the Plan. 3.2. As and when the assessment stage is finished, a referendum is required to give local approval to the Plan. However, given that referendums are not able to go ahead until May 2021 at the earliest, the Government has made provisions that plans that have been examined and are ready for referendum have significant weight. Therefore, when we get to that stage the Authority will use the Plan to help determine relevant applications, thereby affording the Plan significant weight.

Consultation Draft 1 INTRODUCTION Purpose of the plan 1.1 This document represents the Neighbourhood Plan for the town of Beccles for the period 2019 to 2036. The Plan contains a vision for the future of Beccles and sets out clear planning policies to realise this vision. 1.2 The principal purpose of the Neighbourhood Plan is to guide development within the town. It also provides guidance to anyone wishing to submit a planning application for development within the town. The process of producing a plan has sought to involve the community as widely as possible. The different topic areas are reflective of matters that are of considerable importance to Beccles, its residents, businesses and community groups. It should be noted that planning applications are submitted to and determined by East Suffolk Council and the Broads Authority (depending on where they are located). However, the Neighbourhood Plan forms part of the development plan and therefore is given equal weight to the relevant Local Plan in the decision-making process. 1.3 Some of the Neighbourhood Plan policies are general and apply throughout the Plan area, whilst others are site or area-specific and apply only to the appropriate areas illustrated on the relevant map. Nevertheless, in considering proposals for development, East Suffolk Council or the Broads Authority will apply all relevant policies of the Plan. It is therefore assumed that the Plan will be read as a whole, although some cross-referencing between Plan policies has been provided. 1.4 The process of producing the Neighbourhood Plan has identified a number of actions which have not been included in the policies’ sections. This is because these are

  • Approval of Greater Anglia DPPP
    Annette Egginton Head of Competition and Consumer Policy Directorate of Railway Markets & Economics Email: [email protected] 06 October 2016 Jamie Burles Managing Director Greater Anglia Dear Jamie Approval of Abellio East Anglia Limited (Trading as Greater Anglia) Disabled People’s Protection Policy (Condition 5 of your Station Licence and GB Statement of National Regulatory Conditions: Passenger) Thank you for providing updated versions of your Disabled People’s Protection Policy (DPPP) documents for review. A copy of your revised DPPP is attached to this letter, and will be published on our website along with a copy of this letter. I confirm that we have reviewed your DPPP against the 2009 Guidance “How to write your Disabled People’s Protection Policy: A guide for Train and Station Operators” (the Guidance) and can confirm that your revised DPPP meets the requirements of Condition 5 of your station licence and GB Statement of National Regulatory Conditions: Passenger (SNRP). We welcome your commitment to introduce a customer satisfaction survey measurement tool which will call back 5% of users of the pre-booked assistance service to ensure that the service met their expectations, which we believe are likely to be positive for passengers. Since your DPPP was originally submitted to ORR we have had several exchanges in the intervening period in order to bring about the changes required to make it fully compliant with the Guidance. We also sought views on your policies from Transport Focus, London TravelWatch and the Disabled Persons Transport Advisory Committee (DPTAC). The main areas where you clarified your policies during our review were: Provision of assistance where this has not been booked in advance: The guidance states that operators are expected to provide assistance to disabled passengers who arrive at a station and require assistance to allow them to travel, but have not booked in advance.

  • CHRIST IS AMONG US! HE IS and EVER SHALL BE! the Christmas Message of His Holiness Kirill Patriarch of Moscow & All Russia
    “Joy of All Who Sorrow” No. 62 January 2014 CHRIST IS AMONG US! HE IS AND EVER SHALL BE! The Christmas Message of His Holiness Kirill Patriarch of Moscow & All Russia Beloved in the Lord Your Graces the archpastors, all-honourable presbyters and deacons, God-loving monks and nuns, dear brothers and sisters! oday our churches are filled with people who have come to glorify the newly-born Divine Infant Jesus Christ and his Most Pure Mother the Virgin Mary. T The Nativity of Christ is the central event in all human history. The human person has always sought out God, yet God has revealed himself to humanity in his fullness only in the incarnation of his Only-begotten Son. With the coming of the Son of God and the Son of Man the world has discovered that God is Love and not merely a Higher Power, that God is Mercy and not merely the Dispenser of justice, that God is the source of life and joy and not only a dread Judge, that God is the Holy Trinity, the inner law of which is also love, and far from the solitary Master of the world. And today we celebrate an event which at its root has changed the entire course of human history. God enters the very depths of human life, he becomes one of us, he takes upon himself the weight of our sins, human infirmities and weaknesses – he brings them to Golgotha in order to free people from this unbearable burden. God henceforth is no longer to be found somewhere in the unattainable heavens, but is here, with us, among us.
