I hope this finds you well. Here is an update for the coming year and responses received from previous meetings. Some items will either be on the Agenda next meeting, (but will give you more time to peruse), or not requiring any kind of discussion or decision, but purely for your information.
I have received a refusal of planning for Little Marys Cottage, for all of the reasons we had specified. Also received planning permission for The Hollies Farm, however there are considerable conditions for example, types and colours of external facing and roofing materials/ Appearance of the development for adjoining residents/ Vehicular access to be upgraded etc. If anyone would like the full detail I can pass it on to you.
I shall be displaying a new fare system from the N.C.C. Park & Ride. Really aimed at families using any of the six Norwich sites. The idea is to discourage people using their cars in the city centre both helping the environment and reducing congestion!
Eric has informed me that Industrial Water Jet have jetted the sewers in Porters Loke which hopefully is making a big difference there.
The Broads Authority are having drop in sessions, whereby councillors or public can meet the planning team and staff and discuss the work of the Authority, or any particular planning applications.
Thorpe St Andrew Village Hall 31.03.10 2pm till 7pm
There is a Planning Parish Forum taking place on 28th April 2010. This will concentrate on Historic Building Conservation, Conservation Areas and Trees including Tree Preservation Orders. This will take place at Dragonfly House at 6.00pm. Anyone interested please let me know.
The dreaded Hedgerows!
Having emailed Highways regarding the overgrown hedgerows I have been taken to task!! I Quote
‘We do have a defined procedure to deal with overgrown vegetation nevertheless in practice if the owner is unobtainable or unwilling to co-operate it takes several months before we can carry out the work ourselves and recover our costs.’ They go on to suggest we approach owners in the first instance and if it fails then contact them, however ‘We have limited resources and have to prioritise our workloads’. Trevor and I are going to walk round the village with our shears!!!
I intend to put together a notice for village boards, listing dates of meetings for the coming year and other info. I would also like to include your name as their Councillor and so to this end would you please email as soon as possible the information which you are happy for me to include. I.e. telephone number and or email address.
The CiLCA skills course I am attending is certainly keeping me out of mischief, with loads of homework. It is however interesting and a good way to learn the legal and ‘best practice’ way of local government administration.
