5. Report from District Councillor Young.
The NNDC budget has now been fixed. The council received £1.3 million from Tesco for the sale of Lockerbie Flats in Sheringham. A new homes bonus of £612,000 and £1,152,000 from second homes council tax which will mean no increase in council tax in the coming year. A reduction from five to three of top tier officers has been carried out and the next tier of officers is being reviewed with more reductions planned.
The development committee rejected the application for the Dudgeon wind farm cable on the grounds of its adverse effect on the countryside and agriculture but has since decided not to fund the cost of an appeal and the inspector is to be invited to approve the application, subject to conditions.
There has been no further progress on the contribution from the developers of Bard Hill Barns at present and NNDC are still investigating.
There is to be a planned reduction of services by the Coast Hopper bus.
Fairs are planned to rise by four times the rate of inflation with cuts to summer services. The operation will finish one month earlier with no winter service.
