2024
The minutes and decisions arising from the Planning Committee meetings held on 9th and 23rd
January 2024 had been circulated. Cllr Britton reported that the Parish Council had since been

b) To Consider Purchase of Beacon to Commemorate D-Day 80 and Future Events
A report was circulated regarding the fabrication of a beacon by a local firm for D-Day 80. The
beacon would be designed to fit in a sleeve in the ground so could be removed when not in use.
It was AGREED to accept the quote of £808.50 + Vat and order a commemorative beacon.

10. Community Centre
a) To Receive Update report on WC Improvement Project
The drainage problems with the new WCs have been identified and will require either a
replacement of the pipework to a 100mm straight waste pipe, or change the new DDA to a
macerator system, with the latter being less disruptive to the running of the community centre on
installation. The building contractor had quoted £2,972 for the macerator system. The tender
price was £78,879, with the contract currently standing at £60,933 with only the cost of the
drainage survey to be accounted for. It was AGREED after a proposal from Cllr Forder and a
second from Cllr Smith, to proceed with the macerator system to resolve the drainage problems.
The Clerk is to ensure that there is sufficient signage in the DDA toilet to ensure that wipes or
other cosmetic items are not flushed down the toilet, which would risk damage to the macerator.
b) To Receive Update in West WC Refurbishment and Appoint Contractor, Subject to Grant
Approval
The grant application form was reviewed. The Parish Council should be advised of the grant
body’s decision in late February, early March. It was AGREED to proceed with the project after a

consultation. A survey will run from 1st to 31st March. People will be encouraged to fill in the
survey online, but hard copies will be available in the parish office, community centre and other
local establishments by agreement. It was noted that when the original Neighbourhood Plan was
being devised, collection points had been made available around the parish for people to drop off
to, but there had been no option of a digital survey at this time. A better option would be, for the
limited amount of hard copies which would be sent out, to include a stamped addressed envelope
for ease of return.
Drop in sessions will be held on Friday 22nd March and Saturday 23rd March between 10am and
4pm in the council chamber for residents to drop in and talk to councillors about the
Neighbourhood Plan and complete the survey. The Clerk will email councillors to arrange a

Community Centre       Agenda items.

The Government is consulting on the new Standard Tier proposals under Martyns Law. The
document can be found here 05.02.24_Martyn_s_Law_Standard_Tier_Consultation_.pdf
(publishing.service.gov.uk)

The impact of Martyn’s law is being promoted as cost neutral with no modifications required
to the building. There will be training requirements but to date the extent of the training
requirements are unknown. Much will depend on the design of each individual building.

Car    Park      – Library Bollard Scheme - The easement was completed on 8th December 2023. NPS to get an
Community Centre   updated quote from the contractor due to the length of time between their original quote
                   and now, and are awaiting an updated PO from NCC and then can instruct the contractor
                   following this. Work is now due to commence on 18th March 2024.

Community Café and With some additional pressure, the applications to Fareshare and Neighbourly have
Fridge progressed. Neighbourly has accepted our application but advised that there are no slots
currently available in the Norwich area due to high demand. However, we have accepted
‘back up slots’ from Aldi at Costessey. Fareshare has accepted our application and is currently
seeking available slots, with training to commence on 15th February. We have been advised
that supermarkets are now moving to evening only slots, which would mean a notification of
collection being received at approx. 7pm for collection between 8.30pm – 9.30pm. This
would limit the ability of Parish Council to control the collections and this would be taken to
the Cafe Committee for consideration for the recruitment of a volunteer co-ordinator.

Fareshare has inspected the site on 4th March and agreed that the fridge complies with the
required hygiene standards. The account with Fareshare is now being finalised with the
intention of being able to collect food donations soon. A volunteer policy and agreement is
to be agreed by the Community Café Committee on 20th March to help facilitate the out of
hours commitment this will generate.

Parish Council Offices Adjustments have been made to the Hearing Loop so that it picks up at a better frequency.
Diamond Jubilee It was noted that the hearing loop microphones in the ceiling are next to the projector and
Lodge the air conditioning outlet. This could cause problems with the hearing loop when these
items are operational. This has been added to the spec for the Streaming system in the
chamber. Other sources for streaming are to be investigated including Meeting Owls and
Stream Yard. A quote has been received for a Meeting Owl system at £1,574.06.
Also requested report into the possibility of a microphone system in the reception area, to
enable both staff and parishioners to be heard without the need to open the security
window. A quote has been requested.

Broadland Council.
Broadland Council will be writing to town and parish councils to clarify responsibility for

yet to be received. This has been chased as the environmental assets in the parish are looking
to be reviewed (are they sufficient / in the right place). A response was received by Broadland

reviewed and finalised’.
Increased requests are being received for extra litter / dog bins. A review of these assets was

Cllr L. Douglass (Chairman)
Cllr D. Britcher
Cllr R. Forder
Cllr B. Johnson
Cllr S. Smith

Also in attendance
F. LeBon – Clerk, and one member of the public

The Chairman welcomed all attendees, and opened the meeting at 7pm

1. Apologies and acceptance for absence
Apologies were received from Cllr Gurney.

2. Declarations of Interest and Dispensations
No declarations were made or dispensations requested.

3. Approval of the Minutes
The minutes of the meeting of the 8th January 2024 had been circulated. These were AGREED as a true
and accurate record of the meeting.

4. Public Participation (as permitted by Standing Order 3.d & 5.k. xiii)
A representative from The Limes Care Home advised that their Christmas Fayre had been arranged so
as not to clash with the Senior Citizens Christmas Party so that local people can benefit from both events.
When the posters for the Christmas Fayre, to be held on 14th December between 2.30pm and 4.30pm,
are available copies can be passed to the Parish Council to assist with promotion.

5. Review of Past Events
a. Through the Decades
Cllr Smith reported that this was very well received and the profit made shows a good business case for
future events. A vote of thanks was given to all volunteers and staff that made the event happen.
Going forward, the following will be put in place to increase the popularity of future events:
• Eventbrite set up when tickets are launched.
• Facebook event set up at the earliest opportunity. Also create an event for Hellesdon Life and
Events so all local events can be found easily.
• Create a mailing list that people can subscribe to for future events.

6. Update and Further Consideration for Upcoming Events.
a. Drag Bingo
The organisers have agreed that Hellesdon Parish Council can run the bar. Cllrs Douglass and Smith will

The Clerk will arrange for the Temporary License.
Drinks order will be agreed at the next meeting. The clerk will amend the till to include prosecco options
and wine by the bottle.

b. D – Day 80
There had been a very limited response to local D-Day stories. Although the Parish Council had agreed
to the purchase of a beacon, the price after a full specification was sent had almost trebled, therefore
this was not felt to be acceptable. The Clerk will approach other fabricators, however concerns were
raised over the late time of when the beacon would be lit due to this being a summer event. This would
be difficult for families to attend due to the late time on a school night.
Contact had been made with a local gentleman who could provide log books for flight missions and
photos. This is to be pursued, with the intention of creating an exhibition based event in the community
centre.
The Parish Council will continue to appeal for other local stories.

c. Summer Fayre
Advertising is to begin for this event. Posters had been designed.
A list of confirmed stall holders is in place, and those who had not yet completed the formal paperwork
are being chased.
The plan for the field worked well last year, so would be adopted for this year, subject to the final stall
holder list.
Cllr Sear is to be contacted about the number of vintage cars he can arrange to bring on the day.
The police are to be contacted to ensure they are available for the event, as they we very well received
last year. They may be in a position to bring police dogs or police horses this year.
Cllr Forder will provide details of a possible fire engine that may be able to attend.

7. Items for the next agenda
Arrangements for drinks order for 20th April
D-Day 80
Summer Fayre
Another Parish Council run event – to be run in between the Summer Faye and Christmas.

Monday 4th March 2024, 7pm
at Hellesdon Parish Council Chamber, Diamond Jubilee Lodge

Present
Cllr N. Barker
Cllr R. Forder
Cllr S. Gurney
Cllr D. Maidstone
Cllr S. Smith
Cllr B. Johnson (ex officio)

Also in attendance:
Mrs F. LeBon (Parish Clerk), Mr K. Sage (Facilities Manager) and two members of the public.

Welcome

Cllr Forder welcomed all attendees to the meeting and read out the rules relating to openness and
transparency.

1. Apologies and Acceptance for Absence

No apologies received.

2. Declarations of Interest and Dispensations
No declarations made.

3. Approval of the Minutes from the Meeting of 25th October 2023
The minutes of the committee meeting dated 25th October 2023 had been previously circulated. These were
AGREED.

4. Public Participation (as permitted by Standing Order 3.d & 5.k. xiii)
Members of the public asked permission from the committee for the community centre to open on a
Sunday. They would like a regular booking between midday and 3pm for the Church of Pentecost. After a
query from Cllr Gurney, they gave a detailed description of the way the Church of Pentecost operates and
what the requirements would be of Hellesdon Community Centre.

5. To Consider Sunday Opening of Hellesdon Community Centre

A report had been sent to members detailing the opportunities available for Sunday opening and also other
considerations including staffing. Sunday opening would include one caretaking shift (7.30pm to 3.30pm)
which would allow for the parks to be opened and the centre to be open from 8.30am to 3pm. Contractors

would still be required for the closing of the parks. It was AGREED to open on a Sunday after a proposal
from Cllr Maidstone and a second from Cllr Barker. The matter will be raised to the staffing committee
which will meet on 6th March.
The target date for this will be the beginning of April.

6. Building Maintenance and Improvements
a) To Receive Update Report on closure of Building Works
Subsequent to the main contractor going in to liquidation, the Parish Council is now working with the QS
appointed by the liquidator to create a proposal whereby the works to the ML wooden flooring and the Alto
flooring in the corridor will be remediated and paid for from the retention held by the Parish Council, and
the balance being returned to the liquidator.
Disappointment was expressed that the main contractor had not remediated these areas to a satisfactory
standard as part of their insurance claim.
A price had been received for the remediation of the wooden flooring and the price on the Altro flooring had
been requested. Other factors to be considered as part of the claim to the liquidator would be staff time as
part of the liquidation process and loss of income when remedial work is being done.
b) To Receive Updates on WC Projects
The macerator works to the disabled toilet have been instructed. The contractor is to return to complete
the outstanding snags which are the replacement of 2 cubicle doors, the replacement of the vanity unit in
the ladies (damaged by the plumber) and the reinstatement of panelling in ladies.
The project remains within budget. Retention is being held which will only be released when the snags have
been completed to the satisfaction of the Project Manager.
There is still revenue money to spend before the 15th March, therefore an advertisement will be placed in
the EDP to promote the centre and a facebook campaign will be initiated.

A decision on the grant application made to Broadland Council’s Pride in Place Fund to improve the west
toilets is expected in mid March. If successful a timeline will be obtained from the successful contractor and
arranged at such time that will be of least inconvenience to the hirers of the community centre.
c) To Consider Phase 2 of the Fire Door Replacement Project
Phase 1 of the Fire Door Replacement Project is just about complete, with only the making good and the
decoration of the frames to be completed. This has compartmentalised the community centre into 4
sections. The next phase of the project is proposed to divide the ML from the foyer. This would involve the
removal of the existing double doors and installation of 2no. double fire doors. It would also involve some
remedial work to the glass area of the ML. When the area was originally inspected by the fire door assessor,
discussions occurred about the possibility of putting fire proof panels around the existing windows. This
would also help alleviate the complaints about people observing classes from the foyer.
It was AGREED to seek quotes for this next phase.
d) To Consider Installation of Permanent Mirror Ball and Associated Lighting
Following the success of the temporary lighting scheme at the Through the Decades event, it was AGREED
that a more permanent lighting solution would be required. This would be not only for future events, but
could be of benefit to private hirers, although always under the control of the caretaking staff. This would
increase the marketability of the centre.
One quote had been obtained. Cllr Smith has sought a second quote.
e) To Consider Signage to the Front of the Community Centre
the Clerk reported that this matter was originally discussed when the community centre was being
refurbished. It was hoped that one of the contractors would pay for new lettering to the front of the
community centre, which would be lit at night. On finalising the contract, a contribution of £1,500 was
received, which did not cover the quote which was for £4,320 + VAT.

Approved…………………………………………………

Date…………………………………………………….
Hellesdon Community Centre Committee 4th March 2024

35
It was AGREED to seek alternative quotes based upon unlit, solid lettering but with spotlights in the soffit to
highlight the lettering after dark. This could be linked to a PIR and timeclock.
The Clerk is to check whether planning permission would be required.
f) To Consider Improved Literature Display in the Community Centre Foyer
The literature display table often looks cluttered and takes up a lot of space in the foyer. Options were
provided for alternative literature displays. It was AGREED that a rotating literature display at a cost of
£81.96 be purchased.
g) To Consider Donation of Some Aged Tables and Chairs to HAHA for the Hut Project
The Clerk reported that an approach has been made for a donation of tables and chairs to the HAHA Hut. It
was feasible that the community centre would have some aged furniture in the new financial year when the
budget allowed the centre to purchase new tables. It was AGREED in principle that that 2 tables and 12
chairs could be donated, but the Clerk should check the amount required with HAHA.

7. Legislation and Regulations
a) To Receive Update on Martyn’s Law
The Clerk reported that the under the most recent government proposals, the community centre would be
deemed as a ‘standard tier’ premises under the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill. The requirements
for a standard tier premises are anticipated to be:
• Notify the Regulator that they are, or have become, responsible for premises within scope of the Bill
(and so subject to the relevant requirements).
• Have in place procedural measures that could be expected to reduce, so far as reasonably
practicable, the risk of physical harm to individuals at the premises in the event of an attack. These
relate only to the procedures to be followed by people working at the premises in the event of an
attack occurring or being suspected as about to occur. As the procedural measures are about
procedures for responding to an attack or suspected attack, it is not expected or required that
physical alterations be undertaken or additional equipment purchased for the premises. These
procedures that may be expected, so far as reasonably practicable, to reduce harm to the public and
staff at the premises in the event of a terrorist attack. This will include procedures for:
o Evacuation – how to get people out of the building,
o Invacuation - how to bring people into the premises to keep them safe, or move them to
safe parts of the building,
o Lockdown - how to secure the premises against attackers, e.g. locking doors, closing shutters
and using barriers to prevent access, and
o Communication - how to alert staff and customers and move people away from danger.
• There is no requirement to complete a specified form (the ‘Standard Terrorism Evaluation’) for
Standard Tier premises or ensure that people working at the premises are given any specific training.
However, as part of putting in place the procedural measures, workers will need to be sufficiently
instructed or trained to carry them out effectively.

It was noted that there would be no government funding for this as there would be no expectation to
physically modify the community centre. It was also uncertain as to how regulations would impact the
Summer Fayre.
Discussions occurred as to the effectiveness to prevent terrorism, but some requirements would benefit the
community centre as a result of more localised threats.
More information from the Home Office will be communicated to the committee when available.
b) To Receive Report on Section 156 of the Building Safety Act 2022
The Clerk reported that Section 156 of the Building Safety Act 2022 came into force on 1st October 2023,
introducing legal provisions surrounding fire safety. These requirements apply to all non-domestic premises,
such as where people work, visit or stay, including workplaces.

This will be passed to the PP&R committee as it applies to all buildings operated by the Parish Council.

8. Items for the Next Agenda

Prices for community centre signage.
Prices for a permanent mirror ball.
Update on Sunday opening.

Cllr Gurney requested an update on the community fridge. The Clerk advised that Fareshare would be
inspecting the premises on 5th March. After this the Parish Council should be able to receive distributions
from local establishments. However, these distributions are likely to be on evenings and weekends so
cannot be managed from the parish office. A volunteer policy and agreement is to be considered by the
Community Café committee on 20th March.

The Clerk advised that the office would start to collect data on bookings refused due to non availability, as
evidence of the need for an extension.

Meeting of Hellesdon Parish Council

12th March 2024

Item 11 – Hellesdon Neighbourhood Plan

The Neighbourhood Plan Consultation survey launched on 1st March and will run until 31st
March. The survey is available online at:

https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/Hellesdon/

or by accessing the below QR Code:

Hard copy surveys are available from the community centre and parish office and drop off
points are also available in these locations.

For those unable to access the surveys this way, they are welcome to contact the parish office
and a hard copy will be posted out along with a SAE for return.

Since the last working group meeting, the following meetings have taken place:

AECOM regarding Housing Needs Assessment

On 15th February a representative from Collective Community Planning and the Clerk met with
AECOM to discuss their technical work on a Housing Needs Assessment for the parish. This will be a
topdown desktop analysis with no need to visit the parish.

They will look at historic data from 2011-2021 and also future projections. They will look at aspects
of housing need such as:

    •   Tenure and affordability.
    •   Typical cost of a dwelling.
    •   Affordability vs average incomes.
    •   When different tenures become affordable.
    •   Availability of first homes (homes at a 30 – 40% discount).
    •   Need for affordable rental (for people where this is the only option).
    •   Affordable demand for home ownership.
    •   Specialist housing for older people (75+)

38
• Demographic calculations and projections. This will create an indicative house size
mix.

At the time of the meeting, there were 57 households in needs of 1 bedroom accommodation and 15
in need of 2 bedroom.

AECOM were made aware of the impending closure of the asylum hotel and the impact this may
have on housing need.

The timeline for the HNA is approximately 14-16 weeks in total. The draft report will take 6-8 weeks
but will then go through various degrees of checking, including to the parish for comment, before
finally being signed off.

AECOM and Broadland Council regarding Design Codes

On 20th February a representative from Collective Community Planning and the Clerk met with
planning policy officers from Broadland Council to discuss initial ideas about design codes.

Broadland Council raised concerns about HEL1 (the hospital site) and HEL2 (Persimmon) as varying
levels of design already exist for these sites and there were concerns over tensions. The initial
advice from Broadland Council was to keep the Neighbourhood Plan design policies generic to avoid
tensions. Concerns were raised over this advice as Hellesdon Parish Council has not been privy to
preapplication discussions on HEL1, and there remains uncertainty over the build out of HEL2,
therefore the Neighbourhood Plan could be working round a design that may never come to fruition.

Discussions occurred about respecting existing landscapes and the views from certain directions
(such as over the Wensum Valley). Boundary treatments such as hedgerows were also discussed.

The landscape of Drayton High Road was discussed as perhaps the most important of all the arterial
roads in Hellesdon, as it is less built up than the Reepham or Cromer Road.

We discussed defining character areas, and this is something that AECOM will assist with when they
visit.

We also discussed ecology policies (eg: Swift boxes) and biodiversity net gain on smaller sites.

An offer was made to Broadland Council to attend the meeting with AECOM when they attend site.

Later on 20th February a representative from Collective Community Planning and the Clerk met with
AECOM to discuss initial design ideas. We discussed matters raised in the earlier meeting with
Broadland Council. HEL1 and HEL2 will be checked for any initial design codes that our design codes
will need to be sensitive to.

We discussed existing development and the impact of extensions / improvements and ensuring that
these designs do not impact on the community, particularly in relation to parking.

We await some date(s) from AECOM as to when they will be able to visit the parish. They will start
with a meeting with the Working Group to discuss initial ideas and concerns, and then visit specific
areas in the parish.

39
Networking Meeting With Broadland Council and other Neighbourhood Plan Groups

On 28th February the Chairman and the Clerk attended a networking meeting arranged by
Broadland Council.

As part of this meeting, presentations were given on:

Public Health & Neighbourhood Plans – by Keith Mawson from Norfolk County Council

He discussed the key factors that can impact health. Whilst the obvious factors are access to
healthcare facilities such as doctors and dentists, other factors such as access to good
housing, access to open space, access to social situations and improvement of income were
also discussed.

Biodiversity – by Adam Banham from Broadland District & South Norfolk Councils

He discussed the new legislation with developers having to demonstrate a biodiversity 10% net
gain. This legislation was only brought into place in February 2024, so the practicalities of
implementing the policy are still evolving.

It is unknown how this will impact the Persimmon site, with outline permission being granted in
2015, but with reserved matters on 4 phases still to be determined.

The working group will be meeting on 11th March to finalise the details of manning the
consultation displays on 22nd and 23rd March.

Meeting of Hellesdon Parish Council

12th March 2024

Item 12 ‘Chatty Bench’ to Reduce Social Isolation ()

a) To Consider Working with Age UK and The People Kit to site a ‘Chatty Bench’ within
Hellesdon Parish

On 8th February Cllr Maidstone, in his position as Chair of the Playing Fields, Allotments and
Amenities Committee, and The Clerk met with representatives of Age UK and The People Kit to
discuss the concept of a ‘Chatty Bench’ in Hellesdon to help reduce social isolation.

It is proposed that The People Kit pay for the bench and then Age UK (Norwich) would promote
the bench advertised as a safe place to sit and have a chat with someone who you didn’t
necessarily know. The idea being it would help forge local connections. If successful, Age UK
(Norwich) would look to extend across the city, as it would complement their work on making
Norwich an Age Friendly City.

Prior to the meeting, it was thought that the bench could be sited somewhere on the Recreation
Ground. However, as part of the site visit it was established that a much better place would be
at the front of Diamond Jubilee Lodge, within the garden. This would have the following
benefits:

   •   Be integrated within the complex and not exposed.
   •   Screened from the car park by vegetation.
   •   Under CCTV surveillance for safety.
   •   Regular staff footfall for safety.
   •   Has a regular passing footfall Monday – Friday for people to say ‘hello’.
   •   Provides a ‘step’ between isolation and social activities based within the community
       centre and the library.
   •   More accessible to the council to help with understanding of parishioner needs and to
       signpost for further support.

Guidance has been given about the bench required (eg: recycled plastic for longevity and arm
rests to help the elderly get up) and also what would be required as a concrete pad for fixing in.

It is recommended that, once installed, the bench is transferred to the Parish Council so that it
can be maintained as part of our assets. It can remain as being a promotional tool of Age UK.

2.0 Minutes of Previous Meeting
A previous action was for NH to meet with representatives from Morton-on-the-Hill and
Weston Longville Parish Councils. NR requested the contact details to organise this
meeting. NR promoted the NH scheme inbox for parish councils to contact the project
team for a meeting - a47northtuddenhamtoeastonris@nationalhighways.co.uk.

A second action was a request from JMc for the origins and destinations of traffic using
Longwater Lane - this work is almost complete. ACTION: Feedback will be provided to
JMc directly by mid-February.

A third action was a request for MK to ask the Bat Advisory Panel about potential effects
of car headlights on bats and their food source and whether this has been considered in
the NWL proposals. MK – This was discussed with the Bat Advisory Panel – and an
update provided on the presentation slides.
MK - The December 2023 Cabinet Report appended plans which covered the ecological
mitigation areas developed as part of the project. The ecological mitigation area includes
for habitat creation and improvement, which will help with the bat core-sustenance zones.
JMc – Questioned if the specific behaviour of the barbastelle bats was studied? MK – Yes
we have. There are reports published on the NCC website and a chapter within the
Environmental Statement (ES) to be submitted as part of the planning application which
will cover the detail on the bats.

JH – Highlighted that the NWL will improve the situation for bats through Morton-on-the-
Hill, as it will reduce the traffic on Marl Hill Road and B1535. MK – We will create
ecological areas as part of the Proposed Scheme which will be set out within the ES. JMc
– Have you looked at other parts of the world where bats are impacted by a road
scheme? MK – We have specialists within the Bat Advisory Panel, who are well informed
of other studies and data. JMc – Have they met with Dr Charlottle Packman? MK – The
Bat Advisory Panel and the NWL team have met with Dr Packman. We agree that there
is a large bat population within the study area which will be documented within the ES;
this is substantiated through the surveys undertaken by the project team. Dr Packman
has shared outcomes of the survey work, but she has not shared the specific detail of the
data behind her findings. However, the planning application has been informed by our
own extensive ecological surveys spanning several years.

Previous minutes agreed as an accurate record.
3.0 National Highways Progress Update
See presentation slides for further detail.

NR – The Appeal meeting was held on 16 January 2024 and National Highways are
awaiting the outcome, prior to starting activity on site. Exact timescales for the outcome
are unknown, could be six to eight weeks from the hearing date but could also be longer.
GE – Could there be a further challenge if the current appeal is awarded in National

43
Highways’ favour? NR – Yes, it could go to the Supreme Court and National Highways
are taking legal advice on the way forward.
MKe – Would works currently undertaken on site have to be re-instated, if the Appeal is
awarded against National Highways? NR – the majority of works completed so far are
reversible works or surveys such as archaeology or ecological mitigation. The most
significant element of works completed to date island excavated for a High-Pressure Gas
Main, however, work is required to understand how this would impact the DCO.
Mke –Shouldn’t the two road schemes [NWL and North Tuddenham to Easton dualling]
open together? There will be an impact on the local roads with the delay between the two
schemes. GP – It is important to start as soon as possible to reduce costs and have a
plan in place to protect the local areas as far as possible in the interim.

JMc – There will be extra traffic through Costessey during the period when the A47 is
open and the NWL is not yet complete, is there temporary mitigation planned to mitigate
this? GP – We will consider traffic mitigation where it’s necessary and possible. SL – We
do not know the current programme that NH are now working to, so we don’t know how
the timetables for the two projects will align.

JM – Has the flooding of the construction site at Honingham now been minimised? NR –
There have been extremely heavy rainfall events that have caused the flood issues and a
number of temporary measures have been installed. The NH operations department have
also installed additional measures to be reactivated should further flooding events occur.
MKe – Why were the ditches not discharging to the river? NR – There was silt runoff
which was blocking the culvert. A silt barrier has been placed over it, to prevent the silt
build up and the NH team are carrying out regular maintenance of the culvert. MKe – Will
the old A47 that will be in place following construction, be protected from flooding events?
NR – Yes.

BC – Why have the scheme costs risen, when material prices have been coming down?
GP – Inflation has caused an increase to the building costs. MK – This is not being seen
in the marketplace and the costs have increased and so scheme costs have increased.
NR – Agree that inflation has added to the rise in the scheme costs.

NR – The timescales for an Appeal if it was taken to the Supreme Court are unknown as
there are no set timescales. MK – If it does go to the Supreme Court, that is the final
opportunity to appeal, there are no other avenues for appeal.

4.0 Norwich Western Link Progress Update
See presentation slides for further detail.

MK provided the project update.
A report was published in November 2023 and taken to Cabinet in December 2023, which
included a number of detailed plans, showing the scheme that has been developed for
submission as part of the planning application. A plan showing ecological mitigation areas
proposed as part of the scheme was also included. The programme was updated from the
previous version people will have seen, due in part to the time taken for DfT to approve
the Outline Business Case (see presentation slides for proposed programme for the
NWL).

MK – Although not guaranteed the NWL Project Team expect that a Public Inquiry will be
held. Therefore, allowances have been made in the programme for this.

44
JMc – Will there be a public consultation when the planning application is submitted? MK
– Yes, this will be a statutory consultation run by the local planning authority to collect
responses from Statutory Bodies and members of the public. All the planning application
documents will be published by the local planning authority as part of the consultation. SL
– The LLG will be made aware when the planning application has been published and on
how you can view and provide feedback on the proposals to the local planning authority.
MK – It is the responsibility of NCC as the local planning authority to conduct the
consultation and so feedback should be submitted to them, not to the NWL project team.
Therefore, once the planning application has been submitted, it is expected that
communication from the project team will reduce.
GE – How long is the statutory consultation period? MK – Usually 4-6 weeks. The
accompanying Side Roads Order (SRO) and the Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) will
have their own statutory consultation period to collect feedback – usually around 4-6
weeks. Comments on the SRO and CPO will go back to central government to process,
rather than NCC.

JMc – Will the upcoming election and possible change in government impact the plans for
the schemes? GP – The Outline Business Case has been approved and we therefore
have a funding commitment, a change of government will not usually change this.
However, we are not aware of the agenda that an incoming government will have, or their
priorities.

CM – The lengthening to the programme appears large, and appears disproportionate to
the DfT delay? MK – The increased programme has been due to the slowdown of activity
on the project which was agreed last summer due to the delay in receiving OBC approval,
the need to update and finalise the planning application documents to reflect the new time
of submission and subsequent timings, and a period of time for advanced works has been
added , similar to the approach taken by National Highways.

CM – Why has the construction programme increased far beyond the original programme
shared? MK – The construction programme has been reviewed given we now know a lot
more about the site, including the ecological inputs. We have included an advanced works
package for ecological mitigation and other enabling works that could begin, prior to start
of main construction. A temporary works platform will need to be built, to allow for the
construction of the viaduct over the River Wensum. The timescale for this has been
extended due to information on ground conditions gathered from surveys.

BH – When will the funding be available for the mitigation schemes for local parishes?
Looking at the current programme, the mitigation schemes will not be in place for many
years and the gap between the schemes opening will make this more noticeable. MK –
We plan to do an incremental introduction of measures, some can be introduced early,
some will be added during construction and some following monitoring. BH – What are
the timescales for the implementation? MK – If they are low cost/minor, it is reasonable to
introduce them in advance of a Full Business Case (FBC). Proposed measures have
been developed in discussion with parish council representatives. Some other measures
e.g. physical traffic mitigation measures, will not go ahead prior to FBC being approved.
The design work for the measures can be developed in advance of the decision being
received. SL – We're in the process of setting up a meeting with the South of the A47
Taskforce, so there’ll be an opportunity to discuss this at a specific meeting in the near
future.

45
DB – Does the NWL programme need to take into account such a long period for a
possible Public Inquiry? MK – Yes, as it is likely that there will be a Public Inquiry. The
planning application decision could be called in by central government or the SRO or
CPO could generate their own public inquiries. It is therefore sensible for us to plan for
this in our programme.

GE – What happens to the NWL if the NH scheme loses at the Supreme Court? MK – The
NH schemes have already gone through an extensive period of review through the DCO
process and at this point in time there is a confirmed DCO. If the appeal against the
Secretary of State’s decision to grant the DCO were successful, it’s possible that NH
would be able to address this by, for example, resubmitting some specific assessment
information or by amending a section of the DCO application.

JMc – When the NWL scheme is submitted for planning or a Public Inquiry is required, are
the other viable alternatives that were discounted re-assessed? MK – A chapter is
included within the Environmental Statement that details the alternatives to the preferred
option that have been considered. The assessments will have been undertaken using a
proportionate approach to enable a comparative assessment of the options. JMc – It
would be useful to understand how the option scoring was undertaken. MK – The scoring
was set out within a Cabinet Report. ACTION: SL to share a link to document which
includes the scoring explanation.

MK – The updated cost of the scheme was reported to Cabinet in December and was
ratified by full council in January. We’re currently finalising the planning application
documents.

JMc – The majority of traffic through Costessey is local traffic, so the NWL is not going to
change the traffic. Additional bus services are not planned to create an alternative to
reduce the traffic. GP – Funding is being used to improve access to public transport
across the county. However, we need to be realistic that not all trips/purposes can be
undertaken on a bus, and to be mindful of the rural geography of Norfolk. New bus lanes
are planned across Norwich, once these measures are added in place, bus journey times
will become more reliable and travel by bus will be more attractive.

DB – Some bus lanes are too narrow on Cromer Road, so buses do not use them and
continue to wait in the traffic, in other areas bus lanes are incomplete. GP –
Improvements are being made in phases, so that the works do not impact traffic for long
periods of time. There is a map produced for the improvements to bus services, however,
this needs to be built in phases, using money collected from government, and so it will be
built up over time.

DB – there is a cycle route from Hellesdon to Norwich, but no return route, such as
through the Boundary junction. GP – Cycle lanes are also a phased approach too, which
requires a grant from government.

GE – The current public transport improvements in Drayton have increased bus usage.
GP – There has been a vast increase in bus journeys since the improvements were
installed. Further grants will continue to be applied for, so that the bus uptake increases.

46
5.0 Future Meetings
SL gave an overview. Asked if attendees would prefer an in-person or virtual meeting.
Attendees to continue to join the meetings in person.
There will be no LLG meetings during the pre-election period to ensure we adhere to pre-
election guidance for council officers.

6.0 Date and Format of Next Meeting
SL – Proposed to hold the next meeting on 13th March 2024, noting this was earlier than
usual, to provide some more information ahead of the planning application being
submitted. Attendees agreed to the proposed 13th March 2024 meeting.

7.0 AOB
GP closed the meeting at 7:40pm.

JM – Requested if the meeting minutes could be circulated in a timelier manner? SL – We
will aim to send these around within 4 weeks, please be mindful that they require a review
by NCC and NH representatives.
