Applicant NPH (Norwich) LLP Ward: Thorpe Hamlet Case officer Mark Brown - [email protected] Development proposal Full planning permission for demolition works and the development, on the Utilities site, of a biomass fuelled energy centre (49.9 MWe installed capacity), associated fuel storage, offloading facilities and railway works, district heating network centre and associated utilities linkages to the Carrow Works; 435 units of student accommodation; commercial units; boat moorings, landscaping and public realm provision; controlled access to Hardy Road and new vehicular access via the Deal Ground with new vehicular bridges over the River Wensum and River Yare; together with associated infrastructure works and all enabling and preparatory works. Outline planning permission (with all matters reserved) for demolition works and provision of 120 residential dwellings; 282 units of student accommodation; research centre; data centre; education centre; offices and training buildings; a new pedestrian and cycle access to Cremorne Lane; boat moorings, landscaping and public realm provision; together with associated infrastructure works and all enabling and preparatory works. Expiry date 26 November 2015 Recommendation That members undertake a site visit. Summary 1. The report recommends that the planning committee undertake a site visit for the above planning application which relates to a particularly large and complex proposal. Having an understanding of the site without a site visit is difficult given that most of the site cannot be seen from the public realm. The report below provides an outline of the site location, the main constraints in and around the site and an overview of the proposals. No assessment of the proposals is made within the report as at this stage the report is for information and to agree the procedure for determination, specifically to include a member site visit. lk a E W H e T I d i T A s E T r L e e E S ST G v M n L A T i i T H l R E R E Ta n g l ew o o d 1 W S o A 8 R O d 0 V 1 P A D n t 2 e r H O 8. 2 m u C L w o 3 L a 1 v 27 . 7 m 1 G C 13 en d 6 A i sh 22 . 3 m C F N o u 1 L E 1 r 6 t 7 O Te n n i s C o u rts E 9 8 R A 4 LB 1 4 15 . 5 m 1 1 S 2 E 2 3 N 5 T 7a C 5 D 3 5 E A 2 L T w r R O R A 1 2 6 R 2 O T 5a 6 C IN 1 A 23 1 D 4 2 El 1 E Su 5 l Su b b S t S ta a 2. 4 m 1 2 L T w r 5 3 7 Pl a yg ro u n d 9 33 6 1 1 4 3b El l ac o m be 3 L 8 C 5 0 9 (A g e d P e rs o n s H o s te l ) 7 1 8 2 N 1 1 1 E 5 1 3 S 6 R 2 E 8 T 3 C PE 1 E H A a U 2 L M N K 2 A 3 H 2 t 1 ST N I 4 o 8 A L L 1 E R R a V O A 2 A D 7 D ay C e ntr e I O 2 17 . 4 m Y 8 E N W L 2 3 2 6 N 2 3 2 t 1 R 7 E 1 A 3 3 o 7 35 . 7 m L 1 2 6 3 O T 1 3 4 L 6 S 7 9 6 A 4 25 . 3 m E 3 Th o rp e H o us e D S a t 1 L 1 o 0 4 6 6 7 E 2 2 5 Y La n gl e y P re p ar ato ry 1 8 Th o rp e 14 . 3 m A 2 V Sc ho o l 2 Ri v er w a y 3 H ei g h ts E Po st s 1 t 9 2 3 5 o 4 N 2 C ou r t 1 a 6 3 6 Sh e lt er U 2 E 5 2 17 . 1 m t 3 8 S 0 Be ec h H i l l 8 o 2 7 3 1 O Th e U T M 4 2 H d e H am l e t C en tre n t a 1 7 o 1 n U n o i 5 L t 2 1 1 4 6 1 o a w 3 t 7 E S L 7 L 25 . 3 m W t A 6 a R h 7 3 O Re s tha v en c t A 39 . 0 m e a D D (N u r si n g H o me ) Y r A Th e T er rac e 2 O 0 R 2 1 4 R O A 1 9 7 S 1 3 E 2 5 P 7 L 1 1 7 A 1 5 S S 4 6 Be e c h H il C ot t ag e t N E o D U 9 R 7 8 O D 4 O 1 a 7 A 4 D 1 9 H 1 9 A 4 L L L I Sw i m m i ng H E 2 5 5 2 1 1 Po o l 9 5 2 9 1 C 1 2 6 H ot el 6 5 2 a PH 1 b 1 R 1 1 9 7 6 E 6 6 9 2 5 7 19 . 2 m S 3 9 17 . 4 m 21 . 3 m 1 b C 5 9 6 4 9 E B 1 PH N 39 . 3 m 3 El Su b S ta 9 a 1 2 El Su b S ta 7 0 3 T 3. 7 m 5 48 1 a 1 2 0 5 0 7 1 6 9 6 b 2 8 4 8 10 10 6 3 9 1 1 8 6 16 . 2 m 1 c 1 1 3 4 1 0 M L W 8 7 1 3 1 1 1 2 1 2 1 d 7 4 8 A lb io n C o ur t 4 1 1 4 8 e . 0 1 6 8 4 3 4 8 m 3 6 1 1 2 1 A 3 0 6 5 5 W 8 a 1 5 re h 1 o 7 7 u s e 6 7 1 1 3 1 7 2 9 to 1 18 . 0 m 3 2 2 6 1 1 E 2 ) 2 il S c e n O g u d o L o 9 1 48 C L 8 ct C e i p tr r 1 is D N 0 E o Fo u n dr y 2 1 D 3 Th A 7 O N E d 5 15 . 8 m R b an 1 Bri d g e E D l 3 6 E H ot el N e l so n S 1 A d 27 1 L a 1 1 U ro 1 1a 3 O 3 (B 15 1 3 3 H 6 Y 6 5 E 1 LL LB 19 a 1 I V TC B s 8 H PC 1 R 6 7 2 1 2 Po st s 0 R 9 A 11 . 9 m 23 b 25 M o P O 1a 7 3 SA H 9 R S 4 2 Y 1 T a 2 S M L W R El N A 6. 1 m W O 4 E 54 A 2 E LB N E D Su b Sta 1 a 4 E C ha p e l ( d i s) R 46 L G 4 9. 8 m M 2 G 32 . 3 m D E 6 O 8 Y L 8 H 0 6 K 4 2 G 5 1 A 1 I A 4 7 O 1 0 a H 1 2 1 D V 1 15 . 2 m 0 6 A 1 TH 26 E O 1 a O Y R 7 N 4 t R R 1 8 L S PE 3 7 U E 1 15 . 5 m b 5 R 17 a Su O A 7 H E l A R E D ET 2 c B 1 T 3 E r I 6 i n d so 0 6 L W 40 L 9 EG A D 7 O Ro s ar y C e me te ry R A R 10 . 7 m H ou s e P H T H O U 1 L 1 t D 2 A o M 3 1 2 t L N R o 2 A 1 E 2 1 9 Y 4 O E A 1 S T 1 Vi e n n a 7 2 9 a C ar P a rk o 7 9 t 46 1 A pa r tm e n ts 6 d 2 1 2 M a n or M o o ri n gs o 62 t to 9 4 6 4 3 4 2 1 3 s a o 1 c 2 a ' 0 6 t t 1 3 33 .

    BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN April 2018 BROADS IDB – BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN Front cover images (L-R) Marsh Harrier ©Artur Rydzewski; Norfolk Hawker © Milo Bostock; Water Soldier; Water Vole; Berney Marshes ©Mike Page; BIDB Digger BROADS IDB – BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN FOREWORD This Biodiversity Action Plan (Second Edition) has been prepared by the Broads Internal Drainage Board in accordance with the commitment in the Implementation Plan of the DEFRA Internal Drainage Board Review for IDB’s, to produce their own Biodiversity Action Plans by April 2010. As such, the original version was published in January 2010. This revised version aims to continue to align the Broads IDB with biodiversity policy and more specifically, the Biodiversity document for England, “Biodiversity 2020: A strategy for Englands’ Wildlife and Ecosystem Services” and build on the Government’s 25 Year Environmental Plan; A Green Future. In doing so, the document strives to demonstrate the Board’s commitment to fulfilling its duty as a public body under the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 to conserve biodiversity. Many of the Board’s activities have benefits and opportunities for biodiversity, not least its water level management and watercourse maintenance work. It is hoped that this Biodiversity Action Plan will help the Board to maximise the biodiversity benefits from its activities and demonstrate its contribution to the targets as part of the Biodiversity 2020 strategy and achieve wider environmental improvement within its catchments. The Board has adopted the Biodiversity Action Plan as one of its policies and subject to available resources is committed to its implementation. It will review the plan periodically and update it as appropriate.

  • APPENDIX M Policy X: Peat Sites of Peat Will Be Protected, Enhanced
    APPENDIX M Policy x: Peat Sites of peat will be protected, enhanced and preserved. Where it is considered necessary in cases where development coincides with the location of peat an evaluation will be required in relation to palaeoenvironments, archaeology and potential carbon content. There will be a presumption in favour of preservation in-situ for peat and development proposals that will result in unavoidable harm to, or loss of, peat will only be permitted if: i) there is no less harmful viable option; ii) the amount of harm has been reduced to the minimum possible; iii) satisfactory provision is made for the evaluation, recording and interpretation of the peat before commencement of development; iv) the peat is disposed of in a way that will limit carbon loss to the atmosphere. Proposals to enhance peat and protect its qualities will be supported. Reasoned Justification Peat is an abundant soil typology in the Broads and is an important asset as it provides many ecosystem services: Climate change: The soils formed by the Broads wetland vegetation stores 38.8 million tonnes of carbon (NCA Profile 80, Natural England and the Broads Authority’s Carbon Reduction Strategy1). Peat soils release previously stored carbon when they are dry. UK peats represent both a threat and an opportunity with respect to greenhouse gas emissions because correct management and restoration could lead to enhanced storage of carbon and other greenhouse gases in these soils while mismanagement or neglect could lead to sinks becoming net sources of greenhouse gases. Biodiversity: Peat soils support internationally important lake, fen, fen meadow, reed-bed and wet woodland habitats.

  • English Nature Research Report
    Yatural Area: 23. Lincolnshire Marsh and Geological Significance: Notable Coast (provisional) General geological character: The solid geology of the Lincolnshire Marsh and Coast Natural Area is bminated by Cretaceous chalk (approximately 97-83 Ma) although the later Quaternary deposits (the last 2 Ma) give thc area its overall. charactcr. 'The chalk is only well exposed on thc south bank of the Humber, where quarries and cuttings providc exposures of the Upper Cretaceous Chalk. 'me chalk is a very pure limestone deposited on the floor of a tropical sea. During Quaternary timcs, the area was glaciated on several occasions and as a result the area is covered by a variety of glacial deposits, representing an unknown number of glacial ('lcc Age') and interglacial phases. rhe glacial deposits consist mainly of sands, gravels and clays in variable thicknesses. These are derived primarily from the erosion of surrounding bedrock and therefore tend to have similar lithological characteristics, usually with a high chalk content. The glacial deposits are particularly important because of the controversy surrounding their correlation with the timing and sequence in other parts of England, especially East Anglia. The Quaternary deposits are well exposed in coastal cliffs of the area. Key geological features: Coastal cliffs consisting of glacial sands, gravels and clays Exposures of Cretaceous chalk Number of GCR sites: Oxfordian: 1 Kimmeridgian: I Aptian-Rlbian: i Quaternary of Eastern England: 1 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~~ ~ ~ ~~ GeologicaVgeomorphological SSSI coverage: 'here are 2 (P)SSSIs in the Natural Area covering 4 GCR SlLs which represent 4 different GCR networks. The site coverage includes South Ferriby Chalk Pit SSSI which contains an important Upper Jurassic succession, overlain by Cretaceous deposits.
