held on Thursday 6th February 2025 at 7pm

PRESENT:

       Cllr S. Gurney (Chairman)                         Cllr N. Barker
       Cllr R. Forder                                    Cllr B. Johnson
       Mrs B. Knowles                                    Cllr R. Sear

In attendance: Mrs F. LeBon (Clerk), Mr H. Clark (Deputy Clerk) Mr M. Thompson and Mr W.
Webster (Collective Community Planning).

1. Apologies for Absence
Apologies had been received from Cllr L. Douglass and Mrs K. Hicks.

2. Declarations of Interest
None declared.

3. To Agree Minutes of the Meeting of 31st October 2024
The draft minutes had been previously circulated and were AGREED after a proposal from Cllr
Sear and a second from Cllr Johnson.

4. To Agree Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Screening Version of the Hellesdon
Neighbourhood Plan
Mr Thompson explained the need for a screening report on the Neighbourhood Plan. The
screening has been done by Collective Community Planning and it has been found that the
Neighbourhood Plan will not have a significant impact on the environment. This screening report
will be sent to Broadland Council, along with the draft plan. Broadland Council will be asked to
consult with Natural England and the Environment Agency at the same time as the Regulation 14
consultation to save time rather than doing the Regulation 14 consultation after the screening
consultation.
Cllr Gurney will send Mr Thompson a new Chairman’s Introduction.
Cllr Gurney requested more detail in the document relating to location of the non-designated
heritage sites.
Cllr Gurney requested further details in the document on the community projects.

Amendments to the document will be done by email, and the document can then be presented to
full council at the March meeting.

5. To Consider Format and Date(s) of Regulation 14 Consultation
Regulation 14 of the Neighbourhood planning regulations require the draft neighbourhood plan
proposal to be the subject of a pre-submission consultation before it is submitted to the local
authority for independent examination. The consultation should last at least 6 weeks.
Ways of publicising were discussed:
