The things we enjoy about North Norfolk result, of course, from the interaction of local communities and the environment. Sometimes features are incidental, sometimes they have evolved over a very long time and sometimes they are planned; whatever the case we need to try and ensure that future communities have the opportunity to enjoy all that is best about North Norfolk, as we do. That is not to say that things will remain the same; the area faces many pressures and challenges that can only be addressed by looking at the problems afresh. We must, for example, find ways of meeting people's housing needs, enabling the provision of well-paid jobs, protecting the environment and addressing the threats from flood risk and coastal erosion. The process of preparing new planning documents is a long and complex one. We have spent a great deal of time exploring the issues, consulting with a wide range of organisations, commissioning specialist studies and considering existing evidence. This process has allowed us to discuss the issues affecting the District with many people and has provided a solid foundation on which to develop the document now before you. This Core Strategy, including Development Control Policies, provides a clear vision for how new development can address the challenges we face and identifies where, when, how much and how new development will take place in North Norfolk up to 2021. This vision will guide other documents in the North Norfolk Local Development Framework such as the Site Specific Proposals document which will outline the detailed allocations for land for different uses. I would like to thank all those who have contributed to the development of this Plan and hope it provides the basis for the provision of new development in North Norfolk to address the needs of the local communities in a sustainable and locally distinctive manner.

The LDF is a series of documents which together provides the planning policy context for North Norfolk. These will be produced over time and will eventually comprise: Core Strategy Development Plan Document (including Development Control Policies) Site Specific Proposals Development Plan Document (allocations for new development) Proposals Map (showing the areas where policies and designations apply) Development Briefs for Major Allocations Planning Obligations Supplementary Planning Document North Norfolk Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document Landscape Character Assessment Supplementary Planning Document 1.1.2 Details of these documents and the timescale for their preparation can be found in the Council’s Local Development Scheme. 1.1.3 This document is the Core Strategy and Development Control Policies and sets out the key elements of the planning framework for North Norfolk that will be used when considering individual planning proposals. It will cover the period to 2021, but can be reviewed on a regular basis during that time if necessary. 1.1.4 The Core Strategy and Development Control Policies Development Plan Document (DPD) replaced all 'saved' Local Plan policies. 1.1.5 A particular feature of the new system is the requirement for local planning authorities to adopt a spatial planning approach to the preparation of LDFs. Spatial planning aims to bring together and integrate policies for the development and use of land with other strategies and programmes which influence the nature of places and how they function (i). Details on how this was undertaken are provided in the section overleaf 'Preparation of the Core Strategy'. 1.1.6 The Core Strategy covers the whole of the administrative area of North Norfolk District except that part lying within the Broads Executive Area, for which the local planning authority is the Broads Authority (ii). That part of the District is covered by the Broads Core Strategy.

    Overview and Scrutiny Committee 14th January 2010 Agenda Item: Ward: All Key Changes to the Emerging Core Strategy Report by the Executive Head of Planning Regeneration and Wellbeing 1.0 Summary 1.1 The Core Strategy is the key element of the Local Development Framework as it will guide future development in the borough until 2026. The final stages of the preparation of the Core Strategy are being reached prior to it being submitted to the Secretary of State for formal examination. This report advises Members of the key changes that will be been made to the document, and the reasons for them, since the Revised Core Strategy document was published for consultation in June 2009. The report then sets out the next steps toward submission, examination and adoption. 2.0 Background 2.1 When adopted, the Core Strategy will set the overall vision and planning policy framework for the town to 2026. It will set out what we want to achieve in different areas of the borough and how we will go about doing it. It will also provide the context for all subsequent Local Development Documents and their policies. When preparing this pivotal planning document the Council must maintain consistency with national and regional planning guidance and take into account the views of the community and stakeholders. 2.2 A significant amount of work to progress the Core Strategy has already been undertaken. In October 2007 the Council did prepare a Submission version of the Core Strategy. At that time, it was then expected that a public examination of the document would take place in early 2008.

  • Britain's Great Little Railways Newsletter 63 April 2016 AGM And
    Britain’s Great Little Railways Newsletter 63 April 2016 AGM and SPRING GENERAL MEETINGS At 10.15 when I arrived at the Bradford Arms there was a blizzard in full progress and I wondered how many members would make it and even if we would be able to get home after the meeting. In the end the snow stopped fairly quickly and although the sun never came out the weather was just about acceptable for a train ride in the afternoon. Bruce Whalley hosted the meeting in the Bradford Arms and at his railway in the afternoon. The meeting saw the retirement of Maureen Atkinson, our Treasurer and also Mike Hanson. I would like to thank them both for the dedicated work that they have put in to assist the smooth running of BGLR. Peter Jackson has been appointed as our new Treasurer and can be contacted at [email protected] or on 07711 787289. His postal address is 35 Cowley Avenue, Greenhithe, Dartford. DA9 9QA The minutes of the two meetings have been circulated to all members and posted on the Members Only section of the website along with the Year End Accounts. The meetings were lively and interesting and it was good to meet the owners of the proposed Fenn Bell Miniature Railway which is currently in the planning application stage. After a pleasant lunch and distribution of the 2016 Posters and Brochures the members drove the short distance to Weston Park to play trains. A ride behind the Garrett was especially good despite the wind and near freezing temperature.

Main issues: • Preferred Site GNLP1048 – site promoter questions whether a larger number of homes on the site could be appropriate. Blofield Parish Council suggest looking at the Renenergy scheme and implications for the size of the site. • Unreasonable site GNLP2080 now has planning permission Sites not commented on through the consultation: Unreasonable Residential Sites • GNLP0099 • GNLP0288 • GNLP0300 • GNLP2172 2 Blofield Heath and Hemblington Cluster – General Comments STRATEGY QUESTION: Blofield Heath – Title SETTLEMENT/ SITE REFERENCE: (General Comments) TOTAL NUMBER OF REPRESENTATIONS: 1 SUPPORT/ OBJECT/ COMMENT 0 Support, 0 Object, 1 Comment BREAKDOWN: RESPONDENT SUPPORT/ BRIEF SUMMARY OF COMMENTS MAIN ISSUES DRAFT GNLP PROPOSED (OR GROUP OF OBJECT/ REQUIRING RESPONSE CHANGE TO RESPONDENTS) COMMENT INVESTIGATION PLAN Blofield Parish Comment • Site on Blofield Corner Road shouldn’t be Comments noted None Council approved as drainage strategy is into a blind ditch, it would be useful to link that evidence to this response. Due to drainage, not much has been done on site. • The site beside Heathlands on Woodbastwick Road also proposes to link up to this drainage path, there’s the issue of whether that also renders this site unworkable because of drainage. • The drainage strategy passed for Dawsons Lane is non-compliant and site specific for 12 properties and a small section of adoptable road, rest to be porous brick within the development itself.

This consultation seeks views on draft regulations concerning the interoperability of the railways. These regulations are necessary to meet the requirements of the Interoperability Directive 2008/57/EC which recast earlier versions and the deadline for implementation was 19 July 2010. The recast Directive contained new provisions for type authorisation of vehicles. It also has provisions for the reauthorisation process for vehicles authorised in another Member State which have been moved from the 2004 Safety Directive into the Interoperability Directive. ii.) The draft regulations will implement the Directive for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The reauthorisation of vehicles for the UK half of the Channel Tunnel are dealt with in bi-national safety regulations. All other requirements in the Directive in relation to the Tunnel will be implemented through these draft interoperability regulations. iii.) This consultation builds on two earlier rounds of consultation which were published by the Department in 2009 and 2010.

  • Shepway Core Strategy Local Plan 2013 1
    Shepway Core Strategy Local Plan 2013 The Adoption of the Shepway Core Strategy: Minor Editing (September 2013) Introduction This note has been produced to maximise transparency in the preparation and formal adoption of the final Shepway Core Strategy. It is not a statutory or formal council document, and has been produced optionally to provide additional public information. The Shepway Core Strategy was found ’sound’ by the independent Planning Inspector, Michael Hetherington in June, following Examination of the document (which was published in July 2011). This means that it could proceed to formal ‘adoption’ and come into force as the new development plan for the district. 1 The Inspector’s Report was considered by Shepway’s Cabinet on 23 rd July 2013. This flagged up the intention to consider including minor alterations, additional to the Inspector’s modifications, to ensure the adopted plan was factually correct and up-to-date. The Core Strategy is adopted including the ‘Main Modifications’ that make up the appendix and annexe to the Inspector’s Report. These changes substitute most of the modifications put forward by the council following the five Examination hearing days in 2012, in place of parts of the 2011 Core Strategy document. Main modifications were necessary for the plan’s policies to meet the national tests of soundness. Therefore in order to update other content e.g. factual illustration, descriptive text etc, some additional changes are required. This note sets out the nature of this editing. The legal basis stems from
