Mr. D. Young .NNDC
The council is embarking on a three-year project to compile a new Local Plan to cover development policies and land allocations for the period to 2036. A Local Development Scheme is required which sets out the timetable and the periods of consultation. The first requirement is to formally announce the intention to compile a new Local Plan and to seek representations regarding its scope. This is now under way.
A capital expenditure of £150,000 to replacement IT system for Environmental Health has been approved.
Eight new voluntary dog wardens are being recruited and more volunteers would be welcome. The powers of such volunteers are extremely limited.
The council is changing its current arrangements for the operation of textile banks and would welcome suggestions for additional sites
Progress on the new car park on beach Road is exceedingly slow. National Trust has agreed to fund the initial feasibility study. NCC has at last appointed a Project Surveyor, but his response has been to request another meeting. His request was 2 months ago and nothing appears to have happened since then.
Some progress has been made regarding NCC's request for a prohibitive sum for the land on Market Lane that Broadland Housing wishes to develop into 1 large market property and 4 affordable dwellings.

6. Planning.
Application Ref PF/15/1103 Application ref.PF/15/1103
Erection of rear dormer window and roof lights to first floor, reinstatement of chimney and alterations to fenestration at 18, Bloomstiles.
Salthouse parish council OBJECTS to this application for the following reasons: - .
1. The proposed new window on the upper floor of the west elevation of the building will overlook a number of other properties and so there will be a loss of privacy.
2. The visual appearance of the proposed dormer window on the garage section of the building is out of keeping with the adjoining garage (no16) and other similar properties in Bloomstiles.
Application ref. PF/15/1139
