1. Introduction<br />
The Core Strategy<br />
1.1 The Core Strategy is a strategic Development Plan Document setting out<br />
the overall strategy for development in the district, including a spatial<br />
vision and objectives. It makes strategic allocations in the district for the<br />
major housing growth in the borough, as well as employment areas, retail<br />
expansion and areas <strong>of</strong> conservation and protection. It sets out in broad<br />
terms the spatial strategy and apportionment <strong>of</strong> development for the rest<br />
<strong>of</strong> the district, but does not identify sites for this growth. Once adopted, the<br />
Core Strategy will be part <strong>of</strong> the Local Development Framework.<br />
Process<br />
1.2 The process <strong>of</strong> preparing the <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong> Core Strategy is summarised<br />
as follows:<br />

Preferred Options draft <strong>of</strong> the Core<br />
Strategy DPD.<br />
Public consultation on the Preferred<br />
Options was carried out in Oct-Nov<br />
2006. The document was accompanied<br />
by a sustainability appraisal report. The<br />
comments received were used to<br />
inform the joint consultation on the<br />
Core Strategy and Sustainable<br />
Community Strategy (SCS).<br />
Joint public consultation was carried<br />
out in Feb-Mar 2008. The comments<br />

INFORMATION TO SECRETARY OF<br />
STATE<br />
March 2010<br />
Regulations<br />
comments received were used to<br />
inform the pre submission Core<br />
Strategy.<br />
The pre submission Core Strategy and<br />
final sustainability appraisal report have<br />
been published for six weeks in order<br />
for representations (on the tests <strong>of</strong><br />
soundness) to be made.<br />
At the end <strong>of</strong> the publication period, the<br />
Core Strategy DPD, the sustainability<br />
appraisal report and all representations<br />
will be submitted, together with a<br />
summary <strong>of</strong> the main issues raised<br />
during the publication period, to the<br />
Secretary <strong>of</strong> State in order for an<br />
examination to begin into the<br />
‘soundness’ <strong>of</strong> the DPD.<br />
1.3 The Core Strategy has been prepared under the Town and Country<br />
Planning (Local Development) (England) Regulations 2004 up to and<br />
including the Preferred Options stage. In the summer <strong>of</strong> 2008, the<br />
Government changed the process for preparing Local Development<br />
Frameworks and so the Core Strategy has since been prepared under the<br />
Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) (Amendment)<br />
Regulations 2009. Therefore the form and timing <strong>of</strong> the plan being<br />
produced for the Publication and Submission stages in 2009/10 has been<br />
different to that envisaged when the document was first being prepared.<br />
1.4 The consultation has followed the methodology and techniques set out in<br />
the Statement <strong>of</strong> Community Involvement which is available to view on our<br />
website.<br />
About the proposed submission consultation statement<br />
1.5 This statement has been prepared in accordance with the Town and<br />
Country Planning (Local Development) (England) (Amendment)<br />
Regulations 2009 1 . It is split into six parts, reflecting the three<br />
consultations carried out in relation to the Core Strategy:<br />
1 Regulation 24 (2) “proposed submission documents” (a) (iv)<br />

1.7 There has been a significant amount <strong>of</strong> consultation carried out from the<br />
review <strong>of</strong> the Local Plan in 2001 to the joint consultation with the<br />
Sustainable Community Strategy in 2008. The Core Strategy Regulation<br />
25 document drew a line under the consultation at that point in time, and<br />
that document included a review <strong>of</strong> the results <strong>of</strong> consultation to date.<br />
Within each chapter there was a ‘What you have told us’ section and this,<br />
alongside the evidence base, sustainability appraisal etc, clearly informed<br />
the policy approach.<br />
1.8 There are reports available <strong>of</strong> all comments made at each stage <strong>of</strong> the<br />
consultation process, and these are available on our website. The reports<br />
for the joint consultation with the Sustainable Community Strategy and the<br />
Regulation 25 consultation also include <strong>of</strong>ficers responses to the<br />
comments raised.<br />

2. First Issues Paper Consultation (2001)<br />
2.1 Following adoption <strong>of</strong> the Local Plan in 1998, the <strong>Council</strong> then began to<br />
review the document with a First Issues Paper out for consultation in<br />
September 2001. While this consultation was carried out some years ago<br />
and much <strong>of</strong> the consultation work superseded, the consultation was<br />
extensive and the results fed into the Core Strategy Issues and Options<br />
Paper as discussed below. A report on the results <strong>of</strong> this consultation<br />
process is available on request.<br />
3. Issues and Options Consultation (2005)<br />
Introduction<br />
3.1 The Issues and Options consultation on the Core Strategy ran from 6 July<br />
to 17 August 2005. This was an invitation to the community to comment<br />
on the issues to be addressed in the Core Strategy, to assist the <strong>Council</strong><br />
in developing options, and later to identify a ‘preferred option’.<br />
3.2 The Core Strategy Issues and Options document revisits the results <strong>of</strong> the<br />
‘Local Plan Review Issues Paper 1’ and identifies the key issues identified<br />
under a series <strong>of</strong> headings.<br />
3.3 The Issues and Options document goes on to identify components <strong>of</strong> the<br />
vision for the <strong>Borough</strong> and what this means for the LDF. The priority<br />
headlines include:<br />
� <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong>’s local identity and distinctiveness is important<br />
� Housing provision should be appropriate to what people in <strong>West</strong><br />
<strong>Norfolk</strong> need and can afford<br />
� Crime and nuisance concern the people <strong>of</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong><br />
� <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong>’s local facilities and services are important in helping<br />
meet the needs <strong>of</strong> local people<br />
� Develop a safe and good transport system<br />
� Enable the development <strong>of</strong> a prosperous and diverse local economy<br />
� Developing a good telecommunications system is an essential part <strong>of</strong><br />
the future for <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong><br />
� <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong>’s opportunities for tourism, sport, recreation and culture<br />
are important to our well-being and local economy<br />
� Improve the health and well-being <strong>of</strong> local residents<br />
� <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong>’s countryside should be protected for its own sake while<br />
enabling rural diversification<br />
� King’s <strong>Lynn</strong> should be the focus for major new development<br />
� New development in Downham Market and Hunstanton should be<br />
appropriate to their roles and functions<br />
6
� The local identity <strong>of</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong>’s villages should be recognized <strong>West</strong><br />
<strong>Norfolk</strong> has many low-lying areas that may be at risk from sea and<br />
river flooding<br />
� Demand for energy is increasing – energy efficiency measures will<br />
help to limit this increase, and renewable energy will be an important<br />
source to meet the demand<br />
� Make efficient use <strong>of</strong> water and other natural resources<br />
3.4 The document also asks consultees to consider three options for<br />
development in <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong>:<br />
� Option 1: Concentrated strategy<br />
� Option 2: Town growth strategy<br />
� Option 3: Geographic spread<br />
and asks which was the preferred option for the <strong>Borough</strong>, or where there<br />
any other alternatives.<br />
3.5 The consultation comments form asked a series <strong>of</strong> questions about the<br />
options and also gave the opportunity for respondents to make any other<br />
comments.<br />

approach to growth in the borough did dictate the spatial strategy for the<br />
Preferred Options Paper.<br />

and strategies with preferred policy approaches for housing, employment,<br />
biodiversity etc. The structure <strong>of</strong> the document outlines the preferred<br />

options for policy area.<br />

� Support for a dispersed approach to development in the borough,<br />
recognising the importance <strong>of</strong> Kings <strong>Lynn</strong> and using a hierarchy<br />
strategy for the borough. However would like some development in<br />
rural areas to sustain rural communities, we need a balanced<br />
approach. Kings <strong>Lynn</strong> is a priority but not at the expense <strong>of</strong> the rest <strong>of</strong><br />
the borough.<br />
� Mixed views on any further expansion in Downham Market.<br />
� Real need for affordable housing. This is a priority for rural areas, and<br />
also Hunstanton and Downham Market. New development should<br />
include an aspect <strong>of</strong> affordable housing.<br />
� Developers should provide quality open space. This is wider and<br />
should safeguard biodiversity and include ecological enhancement to<br />
contribute towards the Green Infrastructure Management Plan.<br />
� Protect good quality agricultural land / enhance our waterways /<br />
support the Shoreline Management Plan / protect AONB but shouldn’t<br />
adopt a blanket restriction on new development.<br />
� Support green infrastructure and provide for a full range <strong>of</strong> recreation<br />
facilities<br />
� Recognise the balance between economic priorities for the borough<br />
and the environment. Also the priorities for financial contributions from<br />
developers.<br />
� Have regard to flood risk<br />
� There is support for renewable energy (although concerns at wind<br />
turbines), but need to consider the % we’ll require.<br />
5.11 Cohesive and Equitable<br />
Create and sustain fair, tolerant and cohesive neighbourhoods with a<br />
strong local culture and sense <strong>of</strong> community.<br />
Comments received-<br />
� Retain and improve local services for all elements <strong>of</strong> our community<br />
throughout the borough, this is particularly important in rural areas.<br />
� Cultural and leisure facilities are crucial to improve our Quality <strong>of</strong> Life<br />
� Recognise the need to consider our approach to migrant worker<br />
housing. Ensuring private sector housing is <strong>of</strong> sufficient quality and<br />
looking at varying needs <strong>of</strong> transient groups. Need for accommodation<br />
to be close to local services and amenities.<br />
16
� Elderly housing should be part <strong>of</strong> larger estates with a mix <strong>of</strong> housing<br />
types, and close to local services and amenities. There is a need for<br />
more supported housing in the borough.<br />
� Support for a mix <strong>of</strong> housing types in a new development, and if the<br />
<strong>Council</strong> do indicate the types and sizes <strong>of</strong> mix should be a flexible<br />
approach, reflecting the SHLAA and SHMA.<br />
o The same approach to specifying housing mix should be taken<br />
borough wide<br />
o There should be a threshold before specifying housing mix<br />
� Support for high quality housing provision, although this should not just<br />
be in Kings <strong>Lynn</strong>. Should have a flexible policy approach for sub<br />
division, to enable planners to refuse applications where subdivision<br />
would be detrimental to the character <strong>of</strong> the area.<br />
� Mixed views <strong>of</strong> lifetime housing. Should consider as one type <strong>of</strong><br />
property, so could be part <strong>of</strong> the mix on new development. Careful<br />
design in any new development should enable adaptation.<br />
� Growth should be in sustainable locations, but also support for<br />
appropriate rural areas. There is a need for a range <strong>of</strong> sites.<br />
5.12 Competitive and Enterprising<br />
Creating and sustaining a centre <strong>of</strong> regional importance with a diverse<br />
employment base built on the area’s economic strengths.<br />
Comments received-<br />
� Protect the character and heritage <strong>of</strong> our market towns, and natural<br />
environment<br />
� Protect and enhance our cultural facilities, promote and expand our<br />
tourism <strong>of</strong>fer across the borough<br />
� Need for flexible town centre policies<br />
� Balanced development in rural areas.<br />
o allow growth in rural economy<br />
o need for affordable housing<br />
o support for the exception policy for rural employment and<br />
affordable housing<br />
o important to support rural services<br />
� Downham Market – can’t keep expanding. (Some agents also<br />
promoting expansion)<br />
� King’s <strong>Lynn</strong> – address the transport issues to enable the new growth<br />
planned<br />
� Support for brownfield first strategy because <strong>of</strong> the regeneration<br />
benefits, but recognise the need to deliver so a range <strong>of</strong> sites should<br />
be allocated. Have a realistic strategy.<br />
� Flood risk should guide strategy.<br />
17
5.13 Accessible and Connected<br />
Linking people to improved services and information, and to stronger<br />
communities within and outside <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong>.<br />
Comments received-<br />
� Improve broadband / wireless connections throughout the borough<br />
� Improve public transport provision (including improving our rail service)<br />
� Address congestion / air quality / traffic issues in Kings <strong>Lynn</strong><br />

5.14 A full report <strong>of</strong> consultation is available on our website (www.westnorfolk.gov.uk).<br />
This report details all comments received and <strong>of</strong>ficer<br />
responses to each comment made to the discussion papers. These<br />
consultation responses have been used to inform the Core Strategy<br />
Regulation 25 document, and are summarised under the ’What you have<br />
told us’ headings within each chapter <strong>of</strong> that document.<br />

6. Regulation 25 Consultation (2009)<br />
Introduction<br />
6.1 The Core Strategy Regulation 25 document was produced in February<br />
2009 and published for public consultation for six weeks starting on<br />
Monday 23 rd February to 5pm on Monday 6 th April 2009.<br />
The document is structured in the following way:<br />
� Vision<br />
� Policies for places: Settlement Hierarchy<br />
King’s <strong>Lynn</strong><br />
Downham Market<br />
Hunstanton<br />
Rural Areas<br />
Coastal Areas<br />
� Area wide policies: Sustainable Development<br />
Housing<br />
The economy<br />
Transportation<br />
Environmental Assets<br />
Community, Social & Culture<br />
� Key Diagrams<br />
� Implementation<br />
6.2 Within each chapter we adopted a standard approach:<br />
� Elements <strong>of</strong> the Visions supported by this Chapter<br />
� Context<br />
� Consultation – what you have told us<br />
� Evidence – What it tells us and implications for policy<br />
� Sustainability Appraisal – What it tells us<br />
� What have we learnt<br />
� Policy approach<br />
� (Consultation response) Question<br />
� Justification<br />
6.3 The results were collated from the previous consultations (outlined earlier<br />
in this report) and rolled forward into this document into the ‘What you<br />
have told us’ section. The <strong>Council</strong> specified its preferred policy approach<br />
on each <strong>of</strong> these policy areas, and explained where the policy approach<br />
has come from by including key issues from the consultation results,<br />
evidence and the sustainability appraisal. The Regulation 25 document<br />
was a consultation document to propose policy approaches rather than a<br />
draft Core Strategy.<br />
19
6.4 Copies <strong>of</strong> the Core Strategy Regulation 25 document, and in some cases<br />
notification <strong>of</strong> this were sent to all consultees previously involved in the<br />
LDF process.<br />
Who was invited to make comments at Regulation 25 stage?<br />
6.5 Appendix 1 contains a list <strong>of</strong> those people and organisations consulted at<br />
the Regulation 25 stage. Broadly, this was all those who were consulted<br />
and who commented on previous consultations. The consultees can be<br />
summarised into the following respondent categories:<br />
� Individuals<br />
� Internal <strong>Council</strong> groups<br />
� Parish and Town <strong>Council</strong>s<br />
� Businesses<br />
� Housebuilders, Landowners and Agents<br />
� National, Regional and Local Government<br />
� Statutory Bodies and Groups<br />
� Local Stakeholder Organisations<br />
� Schools and Youth Groups<br />
� Hard-to-Reach Groups<br />
� Individuals/ organizations who participated in the Local Plan Review<br />
Issues Paper<br />
� Members – through LDF Task Group, DCB and Cabinet, as well as<br />
sending copies to all Members.<br />
� Developers/ Agents<br />
� Interest and Voluntary Groups<br />
� Public Sector Bodies<br />
� Community facilities<br />
How were comments invited at Regulation 25 stage?<br />
6.6 The Core Strategy document was published and copies distributed to<br />
consultees on our mailing list. A summary leaflet was also produced to<br />
include an introduction to the process/this stage; a summary <strong>of</strong> main<br />
proposals places and general policies; a ‘how to respond’ section and; the<br />
next steps. Consultation responses were encouraged through our webbased<br />
consultation procedures. This made for easier collation, recording<br />
and assessment. Paper copies <strong>of</strong> the response form were available on<br />
request.<br />
6.7 The consultation material was made available to view at the council’s<br />
<strong>of</strong>fices at King’s <strong>Lynn</strong>, Downham Market and Hunstanton, libraries and<br />
exhibitions, and on the council’s website. The Core Strategy Regulation 25<br />
document is available to download from our website:<br />
http://www.west-norfolk.gov.uk/Default.aspx?page=24523<br />
20
6.8 Three ‘exhibitions’ were held across the <strong>Borough</strong>-<br />
Hunstanton/Downham/King’s <strong>Lynn</strong> (to cover parishes in the areas). These<br />
were open to <strong>Council</strong>lors, Parish/Town <strong>Council</strong>s, stakeholders, community<br />
representatives and the general public. A small selection <strong>of</strong> the exhibition<br />
boards was made available in the <strong>Council</strong>’s Customer Information Centre.<br />
The workshops were attended by 115 people.<br />
6.9 Ongoing meetings were held with organisations such as the PCT, utilities,<br />
education authorities etc. This was to ensure the potential policies could<br />
be implemented, and ran parallel to work on an Infrastructure Study.<br />
6.10 Targeted consultation was carried out with those groups referred to as<br />
‘hard to reach’. Working with the <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong> Partnership Community<br />
Cohesion Officer we identified those groups to engage with further and the<br />
best ways to ensure we do this successfully. Officers attended the<br />
following meetings to consult with the representative groups within our<br />
community<br />
� <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong> Youth Forum (Jun 2009)<br />
� Advisory Committee for People with Disabilities (March /April 2009)<br />
� Diverse Communities Forum (March 2009)<br />
6.11 Further to the discussion within the Advisory Committee for People with<br />
Disabilities and the Diverse Communities Forum, representatives on the<br />
groups were asked to take the document away and feedback any<br />
comments from their organization/ group, and letters and emails were sent<br />
out to community representatives to specifically target ‘hard to reach’<br />
groups e.g. older persons in the borough.<br />
6.12 Other methods <strong>of</strong> publicity included:<br />
� Your <strong>Council</strong> magazine (Autumn 2008).<br />
� Advertisements (Friday 6/3/09 – Fri 13/3/09, two editions <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Lynn</strong><br />
News Friday, one edition <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Lynn</strong> News Tuesday, one edition <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>Norfolk</strong> Citizen and also one edition <strong>of</strong> the Fenland Citizen.)<br />
� Press Release 19 Feb 2009.<br />
� Internal Affairs (Feb 2009)<br />
� <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong> Partnership ‘Focus’ e-zine (March 2009)<br />
� Use <strong>of</strong> the council’s website and <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong> Partnership website.<br />
What were the main issues raised at the Regulation 25 stage? And how<br />
were these issues addressed?<br />
6.13 A total <strong>of</strong> 130 letters / responses were received, containing about 600<br />
individual comments, within the statutory 6 week consultation period. The<br />
results <strong>of</strong> the consultation and <strong>of</strong>ficer responses to these can be seen in<br />

full on our website. Below is a summary <strong>of</strong> the major issues raised by<br />
respondents and <strong>of</strong>ficer responses to these.<br />
Issue raised Suggested action<br />
1. Vision and Objectives ought to be<br />
separated for clarity<br />
2. Vision ought to specify targets e.g.<br />
housing provision<br />
1. The debate upon the suitability <strong>of</strong> the<br />
strategic approaches overall is <strong>of</strong>ten<br />
influenced by desires to promote<br />
specific sites and challenge<br />
competing aspirations.<br />
2. Some challenge concerns <strong>of</strong><br />
inadequacies in infrastructure by<br />
either ignoring published studies or<br />
dismissing anecdotal evidence e.g.<br />
parish opinions, as irrelevant.<br />
3. Strategic housing provision – need to<br />
clarify timeline and differing targets:<br />
� 5 year supply<br />
� RSS - 2021<br />
� PPS 3 – 2025<br />
� Contingencies for non-delivery<br />
� RSS Review<br />
1. Need to clarify/justify suggested<br />
dispersal figures notably:<br />
� King’s <strong>Lynn</strong> (why 7,100<br />
d/50,000 pop?)<br />
� Downham to receive greater<br />
role and allocation / too great a<br />
provision in rural areas<br />
� Review criteria and role <strong>of</strong><br />
Settlement Hierarchy<br />
� Possible role <strong>of</strong> KSC –<br />
significant/positive growth<br />
versus local need<br />
� Confusion between overall<br />
provision and new allocations<br />
1. Agree. Vision and objectives to<br />
be included under separate<br />
headings<br />
2. Disagree, targets are objectives<br />
and should be kept separate<br />
from the aspirations.<br />
1. Noted but the Core Strategy<br />
needs to have its foundation in<br />
spatial thinking to help achieve<br />
the vision.<br />
2. Review evidence in light <strong>of</strong><br />
current infrastructure study and<br />
consider stronger means to<br />
present non-technical views.<br />
3. Need to resolve confusion in<br />
policy, will be revised.<br />
Explain the changing relationship<br />
with RSS and other assumptions.<br />
Consider greater provision in towns.<br />
Assess values and possible need<br />
for additional layer(s).<br />
Review/reassess rural sustainability<br />
objectives and clarify.<br />

1. Conflicting opinion re extent <strong>of</strong> King’s<br />
<strong>Lynn</strong> and consequent population:<br />
� Unparished Wards<br />
� Built-up area including<br />
Woottons and <strong>West</strong> Winch.<br />
2. Challenge to Regeneration and floodrisk<br />
1. Role <strong>of</strong> town; contribution to housing<br />
and economic growth.<br />
2. What infrastructure required to<br />
redress recent problems.<br />
3. Who pays for infrastructure – service<br />
investment or developer led?<br />
1. Request specific numbers for<br />
housing and employment<br />
growth in Hunstanton<br />
2. Need year round economy in<br />
Hunstanton, and year round<br />
activities.<br />
3. Need for infrastructure to<br />
accompany growth.<br />
regeneration and flood-risk.<br />
2. Possible permutation acceptable<br />
1. Define for clarity.<br />
2. Note national policy on<br />
regeneration and flood-risk.<br />
1. Review evidence and objectives.<br />
2. Await infrastructure review to<br />
confirm requirements, secure TC<br />
support <strong>of</strong> findings.<br />
3. Review current approach and<br />
provide certainty more in<br />
infrastructure provision policy.<br />
1. Agree. This information will be<br />
included in the submission<br />
version Core Strategy.<br />
2. Agree. Policy does include this.<br />
3. Agree. Infrastructure provision<br />
policy considers this, and this will<br />
be developed further in the<br />
submission version Core<br />
Strategy.<br />
Growth versus local need Review/reassess rural sustainability<br />
objectives and clarify<br />
Concerns relating to impacts <strong>of</strong> flooding<br />
and dealing with development in coastal<br />
areas.<br />
Specific policy on renewables target.<br />
Merton Style Policy.<br />
Need to await recommendations<br />
from Shoreline Management Plan.<br />
This would reiterate Regional<br />
guidance however most <strong>Council</strong>s<br />
are including specific renewable<br />
targets in their Local Development<br />
Frameworks.<br />

2. Concern that the affordable<br />
housing target is set below 35%<br />
set out in the RSS.<br />
3. There is too great a reliance<br />
upon existing unimplemented<br />
allocations and permissions.<br />
1. There are not enough jobs in<br />
the area.<br />
2. Support for approach to rural<br />
areas (one response suggests<br />
rural exception policy should<br />
not be subject to local support).<br />
3. Request specific numbers for<br />
economic growth (including<br />
retail).<br />
4. Need for a flexible approach to<br />
be able to respond to business<br />
need and encourage land take<br />
up.<br />
Topic <strong>of</strong> infrastructure raised<br />
frequently. We need to press this<br />
aspect home.<br />
1. Need to consider Geodiversity.<br />
2. Need to address heritage sites and<br />
incorporate into environment section.<br />
1. Built Environment Character mapsshould<br />
be maintained to ensure local<br />
distinctiveness.<br />
2. Chapter structure/ content/ breadth<br />
<strong>of</strong> issues –tries to deal with too<br />
much, could be merged/condensed?<br />
Survey – currently underway.<br />
2. A flexible approach being<br />
considered to ensure the<br />
viability <strong>of</strong> schemes.<br />
3. Monitoring <strong>of</strong> completions and<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Core Strategy to<br />
overcome any deficit in<br />
provision.<br />
1. Policy aims to facilitate job<br />
growth in our economy.<br />
2. Welcome support (Note detailed<br />
concern. Will review wording<br />
and check in line with national<br />
policy).<br />
3. Agree. This information will be<br />
included in the submission<br />
version Core Strategy.<br />
4. Acknowledge concerns.<br />
Economy policy does provide<br />
for a range <strong>of</strong> sites, and this<br />
will be monitored throughout<br />
the plan period to ensure it<br />
responds to demand.<br />
Ensure robust comments in<br />
new/raised transportation policy<br />
and Infrastructure provision.<br />
1. This can easily be<br />
incorporated. Will discuss with<br />
Geodiversity Partnership to<br />
ascertain where exactly sites<br />
<strong>of</strong> concern are.<br />
2. Will incorporate more detail on<br />
our assets. English Heritage<br />
will need to express if they<br />
have particular issues <strong>of</strong><br />
concern. Most <strong>of</strong> these issues<br />
will be picked up in the Site<br />
Specifics and the emerging<br />
Green Infrastructure Strategy.<br />
1. To be addressed in Site<br />
Allocations Development Plan<br />
Document.<br />
2. Chapter completely restructured.<br />
24
3. Design – should promote community<br />
cohesion through creating a village<br />
identity.<br />
4. Gateways – vital to visitor experience<br />
and community well-being.<br />
5. Historic Environment – neglect <strong>of</strong><br />
historic environment and historic<br />
tourist sites in document, need to<br />
emphasise importance in addition to<br />
natural environment as tourist<br />
attraction.<br />
6. Leisure and tourism –specific<br />
facilities, such as policies for sports<br />
provision?<br />
7. Natural Assets – contribution to<br />
tourism though need to recognise<br />
potential visitor pressure on<br />
biodiversity assets.<br />
8. Non-specific chapter, does not deal<br />
with specific policies/ future<br />
development.<br />
9. Insufficient consideration to needs <strong>of</strong><br />
both an ageing population and also<br />
the relationship between<br />
existing/older and new communities<br />
Open space<br />
1. Provision before development.<br />
2. Increase provision to reduce<br />
pressure on natural environment.<br />
3. Specific policies for future<br />
provision?<br />
4. Orchards and open countryside as<br />
assets to promote recreation<br />
(walking/cycling/fruit picking etc).<br />
Provision for elderly – more reference to<br />
how would deal with elderly population<br />
in terms <strong>of</strong> housing, infrastructure…<br />
Tourism<br />
1. Improve gateways to enhance<br />
3. Design issues covered in<br />
sustainable development<br />
policy.<br />
4. No specific reference but<br />
policy CS8 Sustainable<br />
Development would cover<br />
these issues.<br />
5. Following comments the<br />
document has been subject to<br />
a series <strong>of</strong> amendments<br />
throughout to protect historic<br />
features.<br />
6. Policy revised to support<br />
proposals that protect, retain or<br />
enhance sports, leisure and<br />
recreation facilities.<br />
7. Protection key element <strong>of</strong><br />
Policy 13 Environmental<br />
Assets.<br />
8. Need to retain strategic nature<br />
<strong>of</strong> document.<br />
9. Need to identify stronger links<br />
to Sustainable Community<br />
Strategy?<br />
1. Detailed as a appropriate for<br />
developer contribution in<br />
infrastructure provision policy<br />
timing <strong>of</strong> provision to specific.<br />
2. Revise policy wording so that the<br />
location and layout <strong>of</strong><br />
development should be within<br />
walking distance <strong>of</strong> open space.<br />
3. Revise policy wording and<br />
infrastructure provision policy<br />
revised to list open space as<br />
appropriate for developer<br />
contribution.<br />
4. Specific issue would be more<br />
appropriate if considered in<br />
subsequent documents.<br />
More reference made in the<br />
document to the aging population<br />
1. No specific reference but policy<br />
25
Implementation<br />
(Policy 15)<br />
Monitoring<br />
visitor experience<br />
2. Improve Hardwick roundabout to<br />
improve tourism and therefore<br />
economy.<br />
3. Enhance tourism opportunities in<br />
the South <strong>of</strong> <strong>Borough</strong> to reduce<br />
pressure on North.<br />
Village Design Statements<br />
Important material considerations to<br />
maintain local distinctiveness in<br />
villages.<br />
Policy 15 does not provide sufficient<br />
certainty in terms <strong>of</strong> infrastructure<br />
contributions nor is sufficiently clear to<br />
enable an Supplementary Planning<br />
Document to be prepared.<br />
CS8 Sustainable Development<br />
would cover these issues.<br />
2. To specific as an issue for this<br />
document.<br />
3. Include in the Downham Market<br />
policy.<br />
Importance <strong>of</strong> good design to be<br />
emphasised in Sustainable<br />
Development policy.<br />
Ensure robust comments in<br />
new/raised policy 15 and<br />
amendment to policy.<br />
Other Ensure clarity in linkages between<br />
various chapters e.g. tourism ><br />
economy and culture and policies<br />
for places<br />
Separate between strategy and<br />
detail <strong>of</strong> sustainable development<br />
e.g. pepper-potting references to<br />
historic interest within strategies<br />
Clarify roles <strong>of</strong> Key Diagram<br />
(indicative and not to scale) and<br />
Proposals Map (precise boundaries<br />
etc)<br />
26
7. General Arrangements<br />
In addition to the specific consultation methods outlined previously in the report,<br />
there are a number <strong>of</strong> general arrangements we operate throughout the LDF<br />
process.<br />
Officers regularly attend the <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong> Partnership Management Group<br />
Meetings, and when appropriate the <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong> Partnership Board itself. The<br />
Partnership has been fully involved throughout the Core Strategy process.<br />
The LDF team also holds regular Corporate Officer Groups to ensure <strong>of</strong>ficers<br />
throughout the <strong>Council</strong> are involved in the production <strong>of</strong> the LDF, and to ensure<br />
the LDF maintains its role as a corporate document. Similarly the LDF team<br />
regularly attend the Growth Partnership for King’s <strong>Lynn</strong>, the <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong><br />
Tourism Forum and a range <strong>of</strong> regeneration/ partnership groups to deliver the<br />
regeneration and growth aspirations throughout the borough.<br />
The LDF process and the documents themselves are overseen by the LDF Task<br />
Group. This group <strong>of</strong> approximately 12 Members meets with <strong>of</strong>ficers on a<br />
(minimum) monthly basis to provide political guidance for the LDF. In addition to<br />
the LDF Task Group wider Members briefing sessions are held at consultation<br />
stages. Development Services also hold regular training and briefing sessions for<br />
Parish <strong>Council</strong>s throughout the borough and these have been used to inform and<br />
consult with our parishes.<br />

For immediate <strong>release</strong><br />
Your views on your neighbourhood<br />
The people <strong>of</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong> are being urged to take part in a series <strong>of</strong> workshops<br />
aimed at gathering views on the way the borough develops over the next 20<br />
years. The <strong>Borough</strong> <strong>Council</strong> <strong>of</strong> King’s <strong>Lynn</strong> & <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong>, along with the <strong>West</strong><br />
<strong>Norfolk</strong> Partnership, is running a joint consultation on two major documents<br />
which together will form a blueprint for the future <strong>of</strong> the borough.<br />
The <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong> Partnership is consulting on the Sustainable Community<br />
Strategy. A document which sets out overarching aims and objectives to enable<br />
service providers to take a coherent approach to tackling the issues identified by<br />
local people that will enhance the quality <strong>of</strong> life for people choosing to live and<br />
work in the borough. The <strong>Borough</strong> <strong>Council</strong> is consulting on a series <strong>of</strong> discussion<br />
papers which will inform the Local Development Framework for the whole<br />
borough. The Local Development Framework will set out the borough’s planning<br />
strategy and policies, covering issues such as flood risk, renewable energy,<br />
affordable housing, development in the countryside and the regeneration <strong>of</strong> the<br />
borough.<br />
Ian Burbidge, Policy and Performance Manager and lead <strong>of</strong>ficer for the<br />
Sustainable Community Strategy, explained: “It essential that we identify the<br />
priorities for people in <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong>, not only on a borough wide basis but also at<br />
a neighbourhood level. When we really understand what the issues are in each<br />
area, we can work with partners to develop services that are appropriate to the<br />
residents <strong>of</strong> that area. By developing the two documents together, we can<br />
48
ensure that land use and development helps to facilitate the achievement <strong>of</strong><br />
those overarching aims and objectives.”<br />
Hot topics up for discussion could include transport issues, wireless internet<br />
access, facilities for young people, as well as matters such as infrastructure to<br />
support significant housing development and where the allocated development<br />
should take place.”<br />
Groundbreaking research has already taken place at a neighbourhood level<br />
across the borough with over 2,500 residents completing face-to-face interviews.<br />
A random sample <strong>of</strong> people were asked a range <strong>of</strong> question to get their opinions<br />
on local issues including perceptions <strong>of</strong> crime, aspirations, access to social<br />
activities, sense <strong>of</strong> belonging, level <strong>of</strong> community involvement and pride and so<br />
on. The results <strong>of</strong> this piece <strong>of</strong> research are still being analysed and will also be<br />
used in the development <strong>of</strong> the Sustainable Community Strategy.<br />
Cllr Nick Daubney, Leader <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Borough</strong> <strong>Council</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>King's</strong> <strong>Lynn</strong> & <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong><br />
and Chair <strong>of</strong> the <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong> Partnership, explained: "A shared ambition and<br />
priorities are essential in Partnership working and for the future <strong>of</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong>.<br />
The Sustainable Community Strategy has had input from a range <strong>of</strong> agencies<br />
and organisations from throughout <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong> and now we really want<br />
residents to have a say on how their neighbourhood and borough develops.<br />
These documents are wide ranging and cover all aspects <strong>of</strong> peoples’ lives. It is<br />
essential that we get as many people to share their opinions as possible."<br />
Cllr Jason Law, Cabinet member for Regeneration and Development Services,<br />
said: "This is an excellent chance for people to have their say on the way the<br />
borough develops. We undertook consultation sessions in 2006 for the Local<br />
Development Framework; we have listened to what people said and have<br />
developed a discussion document based on those responses. We want to check<br />
49
that we have got it right and I would encourage people to come along to these<br />
workshops to have their say about what is important to them. "<br />
Workshop sessions will be running across the borough, with tea, c<strong>of</strong>fee and<br />
biscuits available, on the following dates -<br />
Syderstone Village Hall Saturday 1st March 10am-12pm<br />

Dear Sir/ Madam<br />
Your views on your neighbourhood – Consultation on the Local<br />
Development Framework and Sustainable Community Strategy.<br />
Head <strong>of</strong> Development<br />
Services<br />
Ge<strong>of</strong>f Hall<br />
The <strong>Borough</strong> <strong>Council</strong> <strong>of</strong> King’s <strong>Lynn</strong> & <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong> and the <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong><br />
Partnership are holding a series <strong>of</strong> workshops aimed at gathering views on the<br />
way the borough develops over the next 20 years. They are running a joint<br />
consultation on two major documents which together will form a blueprint for the<br />
future <strong>of</strong> the borough.<br />
The <strong>Borough</strong> <strong>Council</strong> is consulting on a series <strong>of</strong> discussion papers which will<br />
inform the Local Development Framework for the whole borough. The Local<br />
Development Framework will set out the borough’s planning strategy and<br />
policies, covering issues such as flood risk, renewable energy, affordable<br />
housing, development in the countryside and the regeneration <strong>of</strong> the borough.<br />
You may remember that we have already carried out consultation work on the<br />
Core Strategy at both the Issues and Options stage and the Preferred Options<br />
stage <strong>of</strong> the LDF process. Following Government recommendations and the<br />
production <strong>of</strong> additional documents for our evidence base, the <strong>Council</strong> decided to<br />
take a step back. We want to look again at the issues for the borough and make<br />
sure we have got these right.<br />
The <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong> Partnership is consulting on the Sustainable Community<br />
Strategy. A document which sets out overarching aims and objectives to enable<br />
service providers to take a coherent approach to tackling the issues identified by<br />
51
local people that will enhance the quality <strong>of</strong> life for people choosing to live and<br />
work in the borough.<br />
It is essential that we identify the priorities for people in <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong>, not only on<br />
a borough wide basis but also at a neighbourhood level. By developing the two<br />
documents together, we can ensure that land use and development helps to<br />
achieve those overarching aims and objectives.<br />
The <strong>Council</strong> have put a series <strong>of</strong> LDF discussion papers on our website at<br />
http://www.west-norfolk.gov.uk/Default.aspx?page=22497 These are arranged to<br />
reflect the priority themes <strong>of</strong> the Sustainable Community Strategy. From March<br />
1 st 2008 you will be able to comment on these papers online, and give us your<br />
opinions and ideas on the future <strong>of</strong> the borough. The documents will be available<br />
for comments until 31 st March 2008.<br />
The consultation workshops will be based around these papers. The leaflet<br />
enclosed outlines where and when the workshops will be held, and the<br />
neighbourhood map included will indicate which meeting will cover your<br />
neighbourhood.<br />

NEWS RELEASE<br />

19 February 2009<br />
For immediate <strong>release</strong><br />
Planning for the future<br />
Ensuring that <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong> remains a great place to live, work and visit is high on<br />
the agenda for the <strong>Borough</strong> <strong>Council</strong>'s planning team, which has been busy<br />
preparing a document that will guide future development across the whole <strong>of</strong> the<br />
area up to 2025.<br />
The document, referred to as the Core Strategy, will be the subject <strong>of</strong> a public<br />
consultation running from 23 February to 6 April and contains a series <strong>of</strong> draft<br />
proposals which seek to balance the need to regenerate the area to secure its<br />
economic future, develop housing to meet the demand for people to have decent<br />
homes to live in and at the same time preserve, protect and enhance the<br />
qualities that make <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong> a great place to live - village communities,<br />
heritage, and beautiful coast and countryside.<br />
Cabinet Member for Development Cllr Vivienne Spikings explained: "We have to<br />
be clear about how we want the area to develop in the future. That means<br />
having a clear strategy. Our planning <strong>of</strong>ficers have done a lot <strong>of</strong> work gathering<br />
views, finding out what the priorities are and assessing the various options. But<br />
as with everything, these plans and proposals will have practical implications for<br />
local residents and businesses. That's why we want to find out what people<br />
think. We need to check that we've understood and reflected what people have<br />
already told us and that we taken into account the key issues facing <strong>West</strong><br />
<strong>Norfolk</strong>. I would urge people to come to our consultation events, have a look at<br />
the proposals and tell us what they think."<br />
60
Some <strong>of</strong> the main issues and questions covered in the draft Core Strategy are:<br />
- Broad location and scale <strong>of</strong> development in all our towns and villages.<br />
- Potential development locations within <strong>King's</strong> <strong>Lynn</strong>, Hunstanton, Downham<br />
Market and the area adjacent to Wisbech.<br />
- How new housing growth will be shared across the borough.<br />
- How will we ensure that new affordable housing is provided and what<br />
percentage <strong>of</strong> new development should that be?<br />
- How do we ensure that the necessary infrastructure is provided to support new<br />
housing development?<br />
- How to avoid flood risk areas and protect our environmental assets<br />
Exhibitions are being held between 2pm and 7.30pm at Hunstanton town hall on<br />
Tuesday, 10 March, Downham Market town hall on Thursday, 12 March and<br />
<strong>King's</strong> <strong>Lynn</strong> town hall on Tuesday, 17 March.<br />
For anyone unable to make it to one <strong>of</strong> the exhibitions, all the documents can be<br />
viewed online at www.west-norfolk.gov.uk and comments can be submitted<br />
direct.<br />
Once complete the Core Strategy document will form part <strong>of</strong> the Local<br />
Development Framework which, when finalised, will form the blueprint for the<br />
development <strong>of</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong> until 2025.<br />

Consultation on Core Strategy Reg25 document<br />
What things do you think are important in different sorts <strong>of</strong> places (towns /<br />
villages)?<br />
� Better public transport<br />
� Free parking<br />
� Corner shop<br />
� Hunstanton – need to improve beach and make it better for people all year<br />
round. Centre <strong>of</strong> our boroughs tourism. Need better health facilities there.<br />
Should have parking permits for local people.<br />
� For shopping – Do some in Kings <strong>Lynn</strong> but need better shops here.<br />
If we are to grow King’s <strong>Lynn</strong> then what other things do we need to plan<br />
for?<br />
� Better design <strong>of</strong> housing<br />
� Better roads<br />
� More parks and open space<br />
� Better facilities – public toilets<br />
� Need to regenerate areas before we build any more housing<br />
� Need to protect countryside – very important to our area<br />
� Want a better cinema, a nightclub, things to do.<br />
� Hunstanton – more facilities at the Oasis pool.<br />
� Downham Market – Cinema<br />
Better leisure centre<br />
Youth Centre<br />
Population <strong>of</strong> mixed age groups.<br />
What are the implications <strong>of</strong> the growth on the borough?<br />
Good<br />
� Increasing the population will help the economy<br />
� With more people living here Kings <strong>Lynn</strong> will get put ‘on the map’<br />
� More businesses and jobs<br />
� Good press<br />
� Better design <strong>of</strong> areas / improving areas<br />
� Improving the environment<br />
� Less youth crime if there is more going on<br />
65
Bad<br />
� Cheaper housing may attract the wrong sort <strong>of</strong> people<br />
� Risk <strong>of</strong> loosing the countryside feel <strong>of</strong> the place<br />
� Loose existing smaller villages<br />
� Not eco friendly<br />
� Expensive<br />
Concerned that the growth needs to attract the right sort <strong>of</strong> people to come to live<br />
in the town, to make it more upmarket. Not build more estates that will be run<br />
down, and where people won’t want to be. This is going to decide how the town<br />
changes. Its very important.<br />

1. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK – CORE STRATEGY<br />
The Chair welcomed Claire Churchill, Principal Planner to the<br />
meeting.<br />
Claire Churchill gave a presentation to the Committee that<br />
briefly outlined what the <strong>Borough</strong> <strong>Council</strong> was attempting to<br />
achieve with the Core Strategy.<br />
She explained that the Core Strategy set out the key elements<br />
<strong>of</strong> planning framework for the area and comprised the following:<br />
� Spatial vision<br />
� Strategic objectives and spatial strategy<br />
� Core policies<br />
� Monitoring and implementation framework.<br />
67
The Core Strategy formed part <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Borough</strong> <strong>Council</strong>’s Local<br />
Development Framework (LDF). Other components <strong>of</strong> the LDF<br />
were outlined as follows:<br />
� Local Development Scheme (project plan)<br />
� Statement <strong>of</strong> Community Involvement<br />
� Annual Monitoring Report<br />
� Other plan documents and supplementary planning<br />
documents<br />
� Site specific allocations and policies.<br />
She informed the Committee that the Core Strategy document<br />
was still in its early stages and consultation was ongoing.<br />
Following closure <strong>of</strong> the consultation period, responses would<br />
be analysed to assist preparation <strong>of</strong> the final draft version <strong>of</strong> the<br />
strategy. The final draft would then be submitted to Regional<br />
Government for examination, before final adoption in 2010.<br />
A copy <strong>of</strong> the slides from the presentation are attached as<br />
Appendix 1.<br />
Following the presentation the Committee was invited to ask<br />
questions and provide feedback on the presentation and<br />
strategy as summarised below:<br />
(i) Development on Flood Risk Areas<br />
<strong>Council</strong>lor Mrs Smeaton asked if future development to the<br />
East <strong>of</strong> the Thames barrier would have an impact on<br />
development in <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong>.<br />
Claire Churchill explained that development on flood risk areas<br />
was to be avoided where possible. If development was to take<br />
place on an area <strong>of</strong> land at risk <strong>of</strong> flooding, the <strong>Council</strong> would<br />
have to prove to Regional Government that this was the most<br />
suited site to be used and all other alternatives had been<br />
investigated.<br />
68
The Chair drew the Committee’s attention to the map on page<br />
92 <strong>of</strong> the Core Strategy Regulation 25 document and explained<br />
that the areas marked as at risk <strong>of</strong> flooding included fluvial<br />
flooding and sea flooding. He explained that the Internal<br />
Drainage Board was currently working to alleviate the risk <strong>of</strong><br />
fluvial flooding in some areas in King’s <strong>Lynn</strong>, which would<br />
hopefully expand the areas available for potential development.<br />
(ii) Areas for Development<br />
<strong>Council</strong>lor Mrs Murphy informed the Committee that she was<br />
aware <strong>of</strong> potential development <strong>of</strong> one thousand houses in the<br />
Leziate/Ashwicken area.<br />
Claire Churchill explained that this site had been identified by a<br />
developer and an expression <strong>of</strong> interest in developing the site<br />
had been submitted to Regional Government for the East <strong>of</strong><br />
England. At present, Claire Churchill was unaware if a<br />
submission had been made to the <strong>Borough</strong> <strong>Council</strong> for this site.<br />
She explained that following the consultation process for the<br />
Core Strategy, the <strong>Borough</strong> <strong>Council</strong> would then analyse<br />
responses and prepare a final draft version <strong>of</strong> the Core<br />
Strategy. At this stage significant sites would be identified that<br />
the <strong>Borough</strong> <strong>Council</strong> believed would be suitable for<br />
development and those sites would be suitable, available and<br />
deliverable.<br />
(iii) Current Economic Climate<br />
Concerns were raised regarding the impact the recession could<br />
have on potential developments and the amount <strong>of</strong> growth<br />
proposed in the Core Strategy.<br />
The Committee was informed that Government Housing<br />
requirements meant that the <strong>Borough</strong> <strong>Council</strong> would have to<br />
deliver about 5000 new sites by 2025.<br />
The share <strong>of</strong> new growth would be split as follows:<br />
69
� 43% <strong>of</strong> development in King’s <strong>Lynn</strong><br />
� 21% <strong>of</strong> development in Hunstanton and Downham<br />
Market<br />
� 21% <strong>of</strong> development in key service centre villages<br />
� 2% <strong>of</strong> development in other villages.<br />
Claire Churchill explained that key service centre villages were<br />
villages that already had certain service provisions in place,<br />
mainly the larger villages in the <strong>Borough</strong>.<br />
She explained that the <strong>Borough</strong> <strong>Council</strong> shared the concerns <strong>of</strong><br />
the Committee regarding the current economic climate, but as<br />
yet the Government had not provided any guidance on an<br />
alternative approach if the <strong>Borough</strong> <strong>Council</strong> was unable to<br />
deliver the required development.<br />
Claire Churchill informed the Committee that the <strong>Borough</strong><br />
<strong>Council</strong> would have to come up with realistic, cost effective<br />
solutions. Eg. where promoting development on brownfield land<br />
which was <strong>of</strong>ten considered less economically viable.<br />
The Chair commented that the Government Minster for Housing<br />
had recently announced that many <strong>of</strong> the house building targets<br />
suggested by Government were unlikely to be reached. The<br />
Government had also recently announced that they felt the<br />
recession was to last longer than expected.<br />
The Chair explained that, by having documents such as the<br />
Core Strategy in place in readiness for the market to pick up,<br />
developments could start as soon as possible.<br />
(iv) Transport and infrastructure<br />
In response to a question from <strong>Council</strong>lor Langwade, Claire<br />
Churchill explained that <strong>Norfolk</strong> County <strong>Council</strong>, in partnership<br />
with the <strong>Borough</strong> <strong>Council</strong>, were currently carrying out a King’s<br />
<strong>Lynn</strong> Area Transport Study (KLATS). This study was being<br />
used to identify which directions <strong>of</strong> growth would have the least<br />
impact on transport and travel in King’s <strong>Lynn</strong>. Results from the<br />
70
study would be incorporated into the final draft <strong>of</strong> the Core<br />
Strategy.<br />
The <strong>Borough</strong> <strong>Council</strong> and <strong>Norfolk</strong> County <strong>Council</strong> were jointly<br />
working on their plans and priorities for the <strong>Borough</strong> and<br />
alternative methods <strong>of</strong> transport were being investigated.<br />
Claire Churchill explained that the <strong>Borough</strong> <strong>Council</strong> shared the<br />
concerns <strong>of</strong> the Committee regarding transport issues and had<br />
made concerns known to <strong>Norfolk</strong> County <strong>Council</strong>.<br />
The Committee commented that <strong>Norfolk</strong> County <strong>Council</strong> tended<br />
to focus more on infrastructure issues in Norwich and felt that<br />
<strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong> was sometimes neglected.<br />
<strong>Council</strong>lor Daniell reiterated concerns that traffic problems in<br />
King’s <strong>Lynn</strong> would need to be rectified before any further<br />
development commenced.<br />
Claire Churchill reminded the Committee that the recent bid to<br />
the Community Infrastructure Fund (CIF) had been successful<br />
resulting in £5.2 million being awarded to make improvements<br />
to infrastructure in King’s <strong>Lynn</strong>.<br />
<strong>Council</strong>lor Mrs Clery-Fox raised concerns regarding the amount<br />
<strong>of</strong> Heavy Goods Vehicles using the centre <strong>of</strong> King’s <strong>Lynn</strong>. She<br />
hoped that consideration would be given to ways to prevent this<br />
extra traffic using the centre <strong>of</strong> town. She suggested using an<br />
area near the Hardwick, adjacent to the railway line, where<br />
lorries could unload onto trains, and then goods transported, by<br />
rail, to the Centre <strong>of</strong> Town.<br />
Claire Churchill explained that problems such at this would be<br />
investigated as part <strong>of</strong> the KLATS. Investigations on how to<br />
utilise existing infrastructure and providing alternatives would<br />
be carried out.<br />
71
(v) Sustainable Development<br />
<strong>Council</strong>lor Mrs Murphy asked how good sustainable design<br />
practice would be promoted and Claire Churchill explained that<br />
at this stage the guidance was not prescriptive but the <strong>Borough</strong><br />
<strong>Council</strong> would assist developers where possible. Issues<br />
regarding drainage and utilities would be the responsibility <strong>of</strong><br />
the developers, but would be monitored by the <strong>Borough</strong><br />
<strong>Council</strong>, where appropriate.<br />
The Chair explained that development would be very site<br />
specific, therefore design guidance would have to be broad.<br />
The varying financial input from developers on sites would also<br />
have an impact, for example larger developments sometimes<br />
provided infrastructure alongside the development.<br />
<strong>Council</strong>lor Mrs Murphy informed the Committee that she was<br />
aware that a British Standard Code <strong>of</strong> Good Practice for design<br />
in flood risk areas was soon to be published and agreed to pass<br />
details <strong>of</strong> this onto Claire Churchill.<br />
(vi) Housing needs<br />
<strong>Council</strong>lor Mrs Clery-Fox asked that consideration be given to<br />
providing rentable properties as part <strong>of</strong> future developments.<br />
Claire Churchill explained that a Government requirement was<br />
in place to provide 30% affordable housing in any new<br />
development <strong>of</strong> more than ten houses.<br />
In response to a question from <strong>Council</strong>lor Mrs Smeaton, it was<br />
explained that the <strong>Borough</strong> <strong>Council</strong> now employed an Empty<br />
Homes Officer who would be working to try and make use <strong>of</strong><br />
empty properties.<br />
The Chair explained that there was a possibility that future<br />
Government legislation may enable <strong>Council</strong>’s to use<br />
Compulsory Purchase Orders on empty properties under<br />
special circumstances.<br />
72
The Committee was informed that new build properties were<br />
not eligible to pay <strong>Council</strong> Tax until they were fully completed.<br />
This meant that sometimes developers did not connect utilities<br />
until the property had been sold so that they did not have to pay<br />
<strong>Council</strong> Tax.<br />
The Chair thanked the Committee for their questions and<br />
thanked Claire Churchill for attending the meeting.<br />
Any further comments or questions on the Core Strategy<br />
Regulation 25 Document should be directed to Claire Churchill<br />
or by using the contact details on the back page <strong>of</strong> the<br />
document.<br />
2. DATE OF NEXT MEETING<br />
The next meeting <strong>of</strong> the Advisory Committee for People with<br />
Disabilities would take place on Monday 11 th May 2009 at<br />
6.00pm, at Park House Hotel, Sandringham.<br />

The <strong>Borough</strong> <strong>Council</strong> <strong>of</strong> King’s <strong>Lynn</strong> & <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong> are in the process <strong>of</strong> revising the<br />
adopted Local Plan, which will be replaced by a Local Development Framework (LDF).<br />
The Local Development Framework is a new suite <strong>of</strong> documents that the <strong>Council</strong> is<br />
producing to guide development decisions in the <strong>Borough</strong> in the period to 2026. One <strong>of</strong><br />
these documents, the Core Strategy, sets out the vision and objectives for the area and<br />
includes broad policies for steering and shaping new development. It will also show the<br />
broad locations for housing and employment growth as well as indicating the<br />
infrastructure needed to support this.<br />
The <strong>Council</strong> are carrying out ongoing consultation on this document and would like to<br />
invite you as a representative <strong>of</strong> older people in the borough to make your views on the<br />
Core Strategy Regulation 25 document. In the absence <strong>of</strong> an <strong>of</strong>ficial Older Persons<br />
Forum we would ask you to have a look at the document and consider whether there are<br />
any issues for older people that we have missed. While the formal consultation period<br />
has closed we are now contacting specific local community groups/ representatives to<br />
ensure they have had the opportunity to contribute to the consultation process. I have<br />
enclosed a copy <strong>of</strong> the document for your information and we are asking people to<br />
consider the questions in yellow boxes throughout the document.<br />
If you would like to submit any comments to us please ensure they reach us by 17th July<br />
2009 to make certain they can be taken into account<br />

vision, objectives and a spatial strategy for King’s <strong>Lynn</strong> and <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong>; it will<br />
