Further, the Council understands the indicative points and nature of future savings re cost reductions. The indicative aspirations to benefit our residents, local businesses and our staff working to a larger strategic scale. The Council recognises that the report points to risk due to the 3 indicative nature of the report at this feasibility stage and points to the need for an exit strategy should either council step- back from collaborative working. The Council further recognises that in the event of withdrawal at any stage over the next 5 year period there could be adverse consequences in terms of staff posts, departments that had been aligned and therefore service to residents. This may also result in any saving to that date being undermined in terms of budget to run the Council resulting in adverse costs to the Council. At this stage of the feasibility report it is not possible to fully quantify or mitigate for such an outcome over the next 5 years. In positive support of the Study Report, the Council recognises the need to better support the case for future collaborative working. Therefore the Council resolves in support of the Feasibility Study Report and collaborative working. (a) To commission a further robust and prudent stage, by conducting a business case study. (b)To enable a comprehensive report of departments and staff requirements with a view of reducing risk and to minimise possible adverse effects on staff, the running of the Council, adverse costs and service to residents in the event of a withdrawal and to better support the case for the possibility of collaborative working with South Norfolk District Council. (c) To complete the business case study and report within a 12 month period. (d)To not implement at this stage the recruitment of a Managing Director or heads of department teams. (e)To maintain current arrangements re planning interim position until the business case study is complete for further review and final member deliberation and resolve.” 13 Appointment of Joint Managing Director 160 – 162 To consider the report of the Head of Democratic Services and Monitoring Officer outlining proposed arrangements for the recruitment process for the Joint Managing Director in the event that the Feasibility Study report at Item 12 on the agenda is approved. 14 Planning Committee To receive the Decisions of the meetings held on (1) 6 June 2018 163 (2) 4 July 2018 243 15 Licensing and Regulatory Committee To receive the non-exempt Minutes of the meetings held on (1) 2 May 2018 164 – 165 (2) 15 May 2018 166 (3) 30 May 2018 167 – 170 4 16 Audit Committee 171 – 177 To receive the Minutes of the meeting held on 28 June 2018 17 Adoption of Horsford Neighbourhood Plan 178 – 235 To consider adoption of the Plan 18 Broadland Growth Limited At the Council meeting in December 2013, it was agreed that the Chief Executive, the Leader and the Portfolio Holder for Planning be appointed as three Directors of Broadland Growth Ltd.

  • 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.

  • Broadland Village Clusters – Site Summaries
    BROADLAND VILLAGE CLUSTERS – SITE SUMMARIES 1 BLOFIELD HEATH & HEMBLINGTON CLUSTER STRATEGY QUESTION: BLOFIELD HEATH & HEMBLINGTON OVERVIEW SETTLEMENT/ SITE REFERENCE: TOTAL NUMBER OF 11 REPRESENTATIONS: SUPPORT/ OBJECT/ COMMENT 1 Support, 2 Object, 8 Comment BREAKDOWN: The Blofield Heath and Hemblington cluster has 1 c/f allocation (BLO5), 1 preferred site (1048), 0 reasonable alternatives and 5 sites which are judged to be unreasonable. 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.

  • Power and Economy Developing the Zbs
    Power and Economy Developing the ZBs Ian Gaylor Steam Loco Design More than doubling the power output of a steam locomotive while simultaneously cutting fuel consumption by 25% is the surprising achievement of one current steam development programme. This fascinating story and the background lead- ing up to it is the topic of this article. The need for more powerful locos The railway in question is the nine mile long Bure Valley Railway running between the historic market town of Aylsham and Wroxham ‘the Capital of the Broads’. This 15" narrow gauge line is a major tourist attraction carrying over 130,000 passengersa year and runs on the former Aylsham extension of the East Norfolk Railway. The track bed was originally laid as a standard gauge line in 1880 but after closure in 1982 was relaid as a 15" gauge tourist railway in 1990 at a cost of £2.5m. As a volunteer engineman weaned on the continuous gradient of the Festiniog Railway in North Wales I was at first surprised to find that the line is very demanding for both locomotives and engine crew. However, all becomes clear when you assimilate three key points. Firstly, when the line was constructed the earthworks involved were kept to modest proportions and thus the line follows the gentle undulations of the landscape. This translates in railway terms to a series of switchback banks in the range 1in 100 to 135 which are too long to rush giving little respite in either direction and with one short section of ¼ mile at 1 Figure 1.

  • Norwich to Sheringham 79
    NORWICH TO SHERINGHAM 79 ‘Bittern Line’ diesel trains for Sheringham leave Norwich’s grand SHERINGHAM Victorian terminus and head east through Thorpe Junction and Wensum Junction before turning north away from the Yare Valley at NORWICH Whitlingham Junction. Trains follow a straight and level route to the Cambridge village of Salhouse before crossing the River Bure on the approach to Ipswich Hoveton & Wroxham station. This is a popular spot for visitors to the Norfolk Broads and is also the interchange point for the 15-in-gauge Bure Valley Railway to Aylsham. Continuing northwards across flat farmland, trains call at Worstead before arriving at the market town of NORWICH North Walsham – once an important centre of the Flemish weaving Salhouse industry, the town also lies on the 56-mile Weavers’ Way Long Distance Hoveton & Wroxham Path, part of which follows the route of the long-closed Midland & Worstead Great Northern Joint Railway. North Walsham Gunton From North Walsham trains continue northwards, calling at Gunton – Roughton Road once used by royalty visiting Lord Suffield of Gunton Hall – then Cromer Roughton Road, before looping around the outskirts of Cromer and West Runton arriving at the town’s small terminus station. Once named Cromer SHERINGHAM Beach, the original M&GNJR station building is now a pub. Trains reverse direction here and head west along the coast, calling at West Runton before terminating at Sheringham. The basic single-platform terminus is the smallest in Britain, while just across the road (and linked to the national rail network) is the original M&GNJR station, now used by the North Norfolk Railway at the start of its heritage line to Holt.

  • Norfolk Rail Prospectus 2013
    Norfolk Rail Prospectus January 2013 If you need this report in large print, audio, Braille, alternative format or in a different language please contact 0344 800 8020 and ask for David Cumming or textphone 0344 800 8011 and we will do our best to help. Norfolk Rail Prospectus Foreword Norfolk’s Prospectus The Future of Rail Today Foreword by Cllr Graham Plant Norfolk County Council Cabinet Member for Planning and Transportation I am pleased to present this rail prospectus for Norfolk. For too long Norfolk has been at the end of the line for rail investment, despite it being clear that improvements are needed so to boost the county’s economic prospects. However, I believe that this picture is changing. MPs from across East Anglia have supported us – with other local authorities and the Local Enterprise Partnerships – in our overarching vision for rail; set out in the Greater Anglia Rail Prospectus. The rail industry is beginning to take notice and is working with us on developing and delivering various improvements across the area. The coalition government too, is listening. We were extremely pleased that their recent statement (on HLOS, the High Level Output Specification) included money for an upgrade to rail infrastructure in Ely, a crucial junction in the rail network for passenger and freight services out of the county. The overarching prospectus for the Anglia region included our priorities: faster journey times, with more capacity, between London and Norwich; half hourly journeys from London to King’s Lynn; and half hourly journeys between the great university cities of Cambridge and Norwich.
