It sets out a draft regional strategy for planning and development in the region to the year 2021. It has been prepared by the East of England Regional Assembly following extensive consultation with a wide variety of organisations and people around the region and beyond and I would like to thank all of those who have contributed to its preparation. The East of England Plan is formally a draft ‘Regional Spatial Strategy’ (RSS) and, once finalised, it will provide the statutory framework for local authorities to produce more detailed local development plans and local transport plans for their areas. The RSS has a key role in contributing to the sustainable development of the region and it will have a bearing on many aspects of our – and future generations’ – lives. It aims to improve the quality of life for all who live in, work in or visit the region and it sets out proposals for where we will work and live, how we will move about the region, and much more. In particular, a key aim of the RSS is to plan for the future economic growth of the region and for the regeneration needs of less prosperous areas. Our economic aspirations for the East of England underpin much of the new housing provision identified in the Plan and we will be closely monitoring it to ensure its aims are met. However, it will be difficult to implement the RSS unless there is significant investment in social, environmental and physical infrastructure. We strongly urge Government to recognise this, not only in responding positively to the Assembly’s recent bid for infrastructure investment, but also developing new and innovative ways to fund the necessary infrastructure provision to underplan the sustainable development of the region, and addressing localised impacts of growth. The RSS has been submitted to Government and is now published for public consultation. It will then be tested at an Examination in Public (EiP) led by an independent Panel appointed by the Secretary of State. Given its importance and the impact it will have on the future development of the East of England, I would urge you to read the RSS and let us have your response by 16 March 2005 – details of how to do this are included in this document and can be found on the Assembly’s website at www.eera.gov.uk. Sue Sida-Lockett Chair East of England Regional Assembly 2 tell us what you think – use our online response form at www.eera.gov.uk 1 introduction This document sets out the East of England Plan, a draft spatial strategy to guide development in the East of England for at least the next 20 years – housing, economic development, the environment, transport, sport and recreation, waste development, mineral extraction and much more. The Plan is formally a draft revision to the Regional Spatial Strategy for the East of England or RSS for short. It will cover Bedfordshire, Luton, Cambridgeshire, Peterborough, Hertfordshire, Essex, Southend-on-Sea, Thurrock, Norfolk and Suffolk. We’ve prepared the draft strategy following an extensive round of consultation in autumn 2002. You have a chance to influence the strategy by commenting on this draft RSS. You can send us your comments via the on-line questionnaire at www.eera.gov.uk or by e-mail or post – full details are given at the end of this introduction. The deadline for comment is 16th March 2005. Haven’t we already got a strategy? Yes, but it needs review. The East of England is a relatively new region. It was previously divided between two, East Anglia and the South East, both of which had their own regional planning strategies. The regional boundary has changed and we need a new strategy to cover the whole of the new region (although parts of the previous strategies are still relevant and have been carried forward). We also need to update the strategy to meet changing circumstances and to reflect more recent information. Proposals for development in parts of Bedfordshire and Luton, however, are being prepared as part of a separate process through the Milton Keynes South Midlands strategy. Further information on this can be found in chapter 5. Why do we need a strategy? To provide a framework for local authorities to produce more detailed development plans and local transport plans for their areas, and to provide an overview of many issues that have implications across the region (such as land use and transport infrastructure). It is also needed to inform other strategies and plans that have a bearing on land-use activities, including those for economic development, education, health, rural development, housing and culture. The draft RSS is concerned only with regional and sub-regional planning issues. Wherever possible it has, therefore, tried to avoid repeating national planning policy. A list of relevant national policy documents is included in Appendix A. 3 Who has written this document? It has been produced by the East of England Regional Assembly (EERA), which is a voluntary association comprising all 54 county, unitary and district/borough councils in the region as well as a wide cross-section of stakeholders. EERA was given the task of producing the draft RSS because it is the regional planning body. It has done so through a range of task groups with representatives of the many organisations listed on the cover page. How will my response be used? All responses will be taken into account in the preparation of the final version of the RSS. Your response will also be used to help determine the matters that will be discussed and tested at a Examination in Public (EIP) before a Panel appointed by the Secretary of State. The Panel will identify a list of matters and invite participants to attend the EIP. There will be an opportunity to comment on both the matters and attendance at the EIP before these are finalised. Once the Examination is completed the Panel will produce a report for the Secretary of State who will then publish proposed changes to the draft RSS. The final version of the RSS will then be published. What is the timetable? 8 December 2004 – publication of draft RSS for consultation 16 March 2005 – deadline for consultation response 13 September 2005 – EIP starts Early 2006 – Publication of Panel Report Mid 2006 – Secretary of State publishes proposed changes to draft RSS followed by 8 week consultation Late 2006 – Publication of East of England Plan How to respond to the draft East of England Plan • respond on-line at www.eera.gov.uk • e-mail the response form to [email protected] (the response form can be downloaded at www.eera.gov.uk • complete the response form included with this document and either fax to the Panel Secretary c/o EERA on 01284 729 447 or post to the Panel Secretary c/o EERA (RSS) at Flempton House, Flempton, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk IP28 6EG Further information The existing regional spatial strategy comprises RPG6 – East Anglia (Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk), RPG9 – South East (includes Bedfordshire, Luton, Essex, Southend-on-Sea, Thurrock and Hertfordshire), RPG9(a) and RPG9(b) (Thames Gateway and River Thames respectively as they apply to Essex, Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock).

  • Greater Norwich Development Partnership
    Joint Core Strategy for Broadland, Norwich and South Norfolk Public Consultation Regulation 25 March 2009 Public Consultation - Regulation 25, March 2009 IMPORTANT NOTE – development of this document In 2007 and early 2008 the Greater Norwich Development Partnership (GNDP) undertook a considerable amount of work to develop a Joint Core Strategy for the area covered by Broadland, Norwich and South Norfolk councils, except for the Broads Authority area. This involved a major consultation exercise from November 2007 to February 2008, looking at ‘issues and options’. The document which formed the focus of this work, and the summary leaflet, looked at possible approaches to a wide range of topics including different ways of accommodating the level of new development necessary to meet the requirements of the East of England Plan. This included looking at alternative locations where large scale development might be located in the area close to Norwich. The GNDP intended to produce a ‘preferred option’ for public consultation last summer. However, changes to the plan-making process in June 2008 meant that the preferred option stage was removed. To comply with the new procedures the Partnership carried out a technical consultation with statutory agencies, service providers, organisations that deliver infrastructure, and other key stakeholders in August 2008. It asked them for guidance to develop the ‘content’ of the strategy and asked whether our current approach is one they could support. Technical consultees were asked to consider three options for the distribution of major growth in and around Norwich and on major sites. During autumn 2008 the information provided by technical consultees and further results from evidence studies, were presented to Councillors from the four GNDP councils who agreed to publish the emerging Joint Core Strategy for full public consultation.This consultation document now includes the favoured option for large scale housing growth in and around Norwich, and on major sites (see Appendix 0 on page 59).

  • Technical Consultation Regulation 25
    Joint Core Strategy for Broadland, Norwich and South Norfolk Technical Consultation Regulation 25 August 2008 Page 2 of 83 Technical Consultation - Regulation 25, August 2008 IMPORTANT NOTE – development of this document In 2007 and early 2008 the Greater Norwich Development Partnership (GNDP) undertook a considerable amount of work to develop a core strategy for the districts of Broadland Norwich and South Norfolk, except for the area under the jurisdiction of the Broads Authority. This led to a major consultation exercise from November 2007 to February, 2008, looking at ‘issues and options’. The document which formed the focus of this work, and the summary leaflet, looked at possible approaches to a wide range of topics including different ways of accommodating the level of new development necessary to meet the requirements of the East of England Plan. This included looking at alternative locations where large scale development might be located in the area close to Norwich. The intention was that this should lead to the publication of a ‘preferred options’ document in late summer/ autumn 2008. However, in June, 2008, new regulations governing the plan making process came into effect, removing the preferred options stage. Instead, the new regulations require authorities to consult ‘specific’ and ‘general’ bodies (as defined in regulations) on what the ‘content’ of the strategy should be. The regulations also require authorities to consider whether residents and businesses should be included at that stage. The next stage prescribed by the new regulations is the publication of a draft plan for full consultation and submission to the Government Office for the East of England, along with any representations made, for consideration at an independent examination.

    Dickleburgh Conservation Area Character Appraisal and Management Guidelines December 2017 Working with you, working for you Content Introduction 3 Historical Development 4 Character Assessment 5 Conservation Management Guidelines 13 Appendix 1(i) - Listed Buildings in 15 Dickleburgh Conservation Area Appendix 1(ii) - Unlisted Buildings in 16 Dickleburgh Conservation Area which are of townscape significance Appendix 2 - Policy & Consultation 17 Appendix 3 - Conservation Area Boundary 19 Appendix 4 - Historic Map 20 Appendix 5 - Streetscape 21 Appendix 6 - Natural Character 22 2. Dickleburgh Conservation Area Character Appraisal Introduction The historic settlement of Dickleburgh grew along what was the Pye Roman Road and later became the Norwich to Ipswich turnpike. This accounts for the straightness of Ipswich Road and The Street, and the prevailing historic linear settlement pattern (Norwich Road slightly deviated to the west of the Roman Road line). Since the construction of the bypass in the 1990s the overall character of the village has changed with significant expansion to the east, and this is where the school and the village hall are now located. The most imposing building in the village remains the medieval church and it stands out as a striking landmark. Apart from The Gables and the former Baptist Church, it is the historic grouping of relatively humble cottages and smaller houses along The Street and Norwich Road that mainly forms the character of the area. The tight clustering of properties along The Street to the South of the church are also of interest because of their unusual window arrangements, an indication of former commercial uses. Under the terms of Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, the Local Planning Authority is required to identify areas of special architectural or historic interest whose character or appearance it is desirable to preserve or enhance, and to designate them as a conservation area.

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.

  • USAAF AIRFIELDS Guide and Map Introduction
    USAAF AIRFIELDS Guide and Map Introduction During the Second World War, the East of England became home to hundreds of US airmen. They began arriving in 1942, with many existing RAF (Royal Air Force) airfields made available to the USAAF (United States Army Air Force). By 1943 there were over 100,000 US airmen based in Britain. The largest concentration was in the East of England, where most of the 8th Air Force and some of the 9th were located on near a hundred bases. The 8th Air Force was the largest air striking force ever committed to battle, with the first units arriving in May 1942. The 9th Air Force was re-formed in England in October 1943 - it was the operator of the most formidable troop-carrying force ever assembled. Their arrival had an immediate impact on the East Anglian scene. This was the 'friendly invasion' - a time of jitterbugging dances and big band sounds, while the British got their first taste of peanut butter, chewing gum and Coke. Famous US bandleader Glenn Miller was based in the Bedford area (Bedfordshire), along with his orchestra during the Second World War. Close associations with residents of the region produced long lasting friendships, sometimes even marriage. At The Eagle pub in Cambridge (Cambridgeshire), and The Swan Hotel at Lavenham (Suffolk), airmen left their signatures on the ceiling/walls. The aircraft of the USAAF were the B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator - used by the Bombardment Groups (BG); and the P-51 Mustang, P-38 Lightning and P-47 Thunderbolt - used by the Fighter Groups (FG).

  • Joint Core Strategy Appendix a B and C
    APPENDIX A GNDP Policy Group 18 December 2008 item 5a Joint Core Strategy for Broadland, Norwich and South Norfolk Summary Report of Evidence and Technical Consultation Reg 25 This document explains the process that has been followed since the GNDP Policy Group met in July 2008. It covers the Joint Core Strategy Regulation 25 Technical Consultation and provides evidence for a decision to be made for moving to the next stage. 1. Introduction 1.1 At previous meetings of the GNDP policy group on 24th June and 18th July 2008, members confirmed how they wished to move forward on the emerging joint core strategy. To follow new plan-making procedures Members approved a targeted six-week consultation over the summer with technical bodies and other organisations. In addition the opportunity was taken to gather further evidence about the options. 1.2 Each potential option for major development in the Norwich Policy Area has been evaluated separately. Much of the growth strategy, particularly in the North East and the city, is common across all 3 options. 1.3 As much new development as possible should be located in the City of Norwich as it is a highly sustainable location. Development in the city must have regard to the mix of uses that benefit from a city centre location such as offices or shopping. Work has been carried out and is continuing to assess the capacity of the city (and especially the city centre) for new development. At present there is a high degree of confidence about these long-term estimates for housing capacity and this will be refined through regular development monitoring and viability assessment of new sites.
