ForewordWe are privileged to live and work in a beautiful area. The things we enjoy about North Norfolk areoften the result of the activities of local communities and the environment. Sometimes these areincidental, sometimes they have evolved over a very long time, sometimes they are planned; whateverthe case we need to try and ensure that future communities can enjoy the same kind of North Norfolkthat we do. That is not to say that things will remain the same; the area faces many pressures andchallenges, including meeting people's housing needs, providing well-paid jobs, protecting theenvironment and addressing the threats from flood risk and coastal erosion.
The process of preparing new planning documents is a long and complex one. We have spent a greatdeal of time exploring the issues, options, and considering alternatives, consulting with a wide rangeof organisations, and speaking to the community. This process has allowed us to discuss many issueswith many people and this has provided a solid foundation on which to present the sites which areallocated for a variety of uses.
This allocations document has been prepared to accord with the vision, objectives and strategicpolicies of the adopted Core Strategy. It reflects the vision, and defines it in detail, by identifying(allocating) specific areas of land for different types of new development, such as housing, employment,retail, open space and other uses. These allocations are shown on the Proposals Map.
I would like to thank all those who have contributed to the development of this document and lookforward to your continuing involvement in planning the future of North Norfolk.

Introduction1
1 Introduction1.1 Local Development Framework
1.1.1 The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 established a new system of localdevelopment planning in England, called the Local Development Framework (LDF). As aconsequence of this legislation, the North Norfolk LDF has replaced the North Norfolk LocalPlan (the Local Plan). As with the Local Plan, the North Norfolk LDF covers the whole ofthe administrative area of North Norfolk District except that part lying within the BroadsExecutive Area, for which the local planning authority is the Broads Authority. That part ofthe District is covered by the Broads LDF.
1.1.2 The North Norfolk LDF comprises of a number of documents. The Core Strategy sets outthe key elements of the planning framework for North Norfolk and includes policies relatingto the broad quantities, types and distribution of development together with detailed policieswhich are used by the Council when reaching decisions on planning applications. It wasadopted by the Council in September 2008 and covers the period to 2021, however it canbe reviewed on a regular basis during that time.
1.1.3 The adoption of the Core Strategy has provided the context for this document. In particularit provides the framework for:
The quantity of new housing and other development needs;the distribution of these new developments;the types of sites required, and;the expected timing and phasing of new development.
1.1.4 This Site Allocations document has been prepared to accord with the vision, objectivesand strategic policies of the adopted Core Strategy. It reflects the vision, and defines it indetail, by identifying (allocating) specific areas of land for different types of new development.These allocations are shown on the Proposals Map.
1.2 Purpose of this document
1.2.1 The objective of this document is to ensure that sites are identified and made available tomeet the development needs of the District in accordance with the aims of the adoptedCore Strategy, namely:
Core Aim 1 - To address the housing needs of the whole community.Core Aim 2 - To provide for sustainable development andmitigate and adapt to climatechange.Core Aim 3 - To protect the built and natural environment and local distinctive identityof North Norfolk, and enable people’s enjoyment of the resource.Core Aim 4 - To mitigate and adapt to impacts of coastal erosion and flooding.Core Aim 5 - To develop a strong, high value economy to provide better job, careerand training opportunities.Core Aim 6 - To improve access for all to jobs, services, leisure and cultural activities.
1.2.2 In preparing this document the Council has considered the options for allocating land and,following a Sustainability Appraisal, Appropriate Assessment, local consultation, andconsideration of how and when sites might be developed, has identified the sites which itconsiders best meet the needs of the local area and deliver the aims of the Core Strategy.
North Norfolk Site Allocations2
1.2.3 The document does not identify all future development sites. Many, mainly small scale,developments will occur within the established built up parts of towns and villages, perhapsas the consequence of the redevelopment of an area. The location of such developments,sometimes called ‘windfall’ or ‘infill’ development, and when they might occur, is difficult topredict and consequently these sites are not identified. Similarly the Council operates apolicy of allowing developments of affordable housing on sites which are not formallyidentified for housing development and, as with windfall developments, the location of theseare not known at this time. The Council has nevertheless made allowance for these‘exception’ sites and 'windfall' developments in assessing the overall amount of housingland that should be released to meet identified needs.
1.3 How to use this document
1.3.1 This document is divided into sections, each of which deals with a different town or villagein the District. Each section summarises the development needs identified in the adoptedCore Strategy for each settlement and the identified allocations to meet these needs. Eachallocation is shown on a map and accompanied with a brief description and justification.
1.3.2 Before development can proceed on any of the allocations it will be necessary to secureplanning permission. Planning applications will be determined in accordance with the policiesof the adopted Core Strategy together with the Site Specific policies included within thisdocument. Each policy is highlighted within a coloured box.
1.3.3 A number of other documents have been published as either background or evidence tosupport the site allocations. These include a Sustainability Appraisal, AppropriateAssessment, a Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment, and a statement of howthe Council has involved the public and other key stakeholders in the preparation of theplan. Further details are included in Chapter 3. Copies of these and all other documentsreferred to can be made available on request, or can be viewed on the Council's website:www.northnorfolk.org.
1.3.4 This document includes a number of terms which have a specific meaning. A list of definitionscan be found in Appendix A.
1.4 What happens next?
1.4.1 The ‘allocation’ of land for development does not replace the need for planning permission.It is a statement of policy against which (amongst other things) planning applications willultimately be determined. Consequently, this document does not include precise details oflikely development as these details will only be available when individual planningapplications are made on the sites identified. These planning applications will be subjectto the same consultation procedures as all other planning applications. Where the Councilconsiders that development should only take place if specific conditions are complied with,these are included within the document. Future planning applications are expected to complywith these conditions, and others that may be imposed at the time, unless there are verygood reasons for departing from them. Many of these requirements arise from the adoptedpolicies of the Core Strategy which state that all larger scale residential developmentsshould:
include, where it is viable, a high proportion of new dwellings that are affordable(45-50%);
3North Norfolk Site Allocations
Introduction1
that the mix of dwellings include a greater proportion of smaller homes (40% twobedroom or less) and homes which are suitable for occupation by the elderly, infirm,or those with mobility difficulties (20%);that all homes are built to improved environmentally friendly standards includingrequirements that dwellings are energy efficient and that more of the energy needsare generated on the site, that measures are incorporated to minimise the use ofresources such as water, and that all dwellings are designed to a high quality whichreinforces local distinctiveness; andthat those building homes contribute to the provision of local facilities such as openspace or school places where there is a deficiency in these facilities.
1.4.2 These are standard requirements for most residential development proposals and areapplicable to each of the sites allocated in this document.
1.4.3 This document takes account of the development needs of the District until approximately2021. This means that it is expected that the allocations will be implemented, by this timealthough the precise timing of development will be dependent upon the investment decisionsof both the public and private sector and the availability of key infrastructure.
1.4.4 A framework will be put in place to monitor the implementation of the allocations and evaluatetheir effectiveness. A decision will be taken about when to review and / or replace theadopted development plan documents in the light of the monitoring results and havingregard to changes in the policy context or local economic, or environmental conditions. Forfurther information see Chapter 14 'Monitoring & Implementation'.

1 Introduction

Policy Context2
2 Policy Context2.1 National & Local Policy
2.1.1 The Site Allocations in this document conform with the adopted Core Strategy which wasprepared in parallel with this Plan. The Core Strategy document sets out the overarchingvisions for North Norfolk and for each of the eight largest settlements. These, in turn, buildon the aims of the North Norfolk Sustainable Community Strategy. The Core Strategyoutlines in general terms where development should take place, and it was prepared takinginto account the most up-to-date national planning guidance and the regional planningframework outlined at the time in the Draft East of England Plan (Regional Spatial Strategyfor the East of England). In addition to tackling the general themes addressed by nationaland regional guidance it addresses the issues that have been identified locally, through theCommunity Strategy and the preparation of the LDF, such as the nature of developmentthat is needed, its scale, and geographical location.
2.1.2 The Core Strategy proposes that most new development in the District should beconcentrated in four of the larger towns in North Norfolk, namely, Cromer, Fakenham, Holtand North Walsham, with lower levels of development in Hoveton, Sheringham, Stalhamand Wells-next-the-Sea. In addition, the Strategy indicates that small-scale housingdevelopment is necessary to meet identified local needs in some of the larger villages inthe District and that the service role of these villages should be protected and if possibleenhanced. The following settlements have been identified as 'Service Villages' and thisplan proposes small scale developments in each village where suitable sites are available:Aldborough, Bacton, Blakeney, Briston, Catfield, Corpusty, Happisburgh, Horning, LittleSnoring, Ludham, Mundesley, Overstrand, Roughton, Southrepps, Walsingham andWeybourne.
2.1.3 In respect of the amount of new housing development, the Core Strategy requires thatNorth Norfolk should plan to provide for at least 8,000 new dwellings between 2001 and2021. According to the latest information(1) approximately 3,287 of these dwellings havebeen built since 2001, a further 1,600 have planning permission, and it is estimated thatan additional 1,850 dwellings will occur as windfall development. Therefore some 6,737 ofthe 8,000 dwelling requirement is accounted for. The remainder, some 1,263 dwellings,will be accommodated on the allocated sites in this Plan. Additionally, there is a nationalpolicy requirement(2) for local planning authorities to maintain a supply of building landwhich will be adequate to meet housing development needs over the next 15 years. TheCore Strategy consequently suggests that land should be allocated for between 2,700 and3,400 dwellings so that, not only will the 8,000 dwelling requirement be met, but also suitabledevelopment sites will continue to be available in the years immediately following the periodcovered by this plan. In accordance with the Strategy, this Plan allocates sufficient land toaccommodate in the region of 3,300 additional dwellings.
2.1.4 The North Norfolk Community Strategy(3) identified a number of priorities for the Districtwhich were grouped into 3 outcomes:
Improved housingBetter jobs and prospectsSustaining a high quality of life - a nice place to live, work and visit

North Norfolk Site Allocations6
2.1.5 These themes are integral to the Core Strategy aims and inherent throughout the document.This Site Allocations document seeks to deliver these themes through allocations of landfor a variety of new development.
2.1.6 The high levels of need for affordable housing in the District were influential in the preparationof new housing policies in the Core Strategy. This need underpins policies in relation to thequantity of housing to be provided, the affordability, tenure and size of new dwellings, andwhere this new development should take place. The allocations of development sites inthis document are an essential element of the Council's Housing Strategy and they aremade, in part, in order deliver a 'step change' in addressing the affordable housing needsof the District. Developers and landowners should expect the Council to require the specifiedproportion of affordable dwellings on each of the allocations and this should be reflectedin realistic land purchase prices and valuations.
2.1.7 Retailing is an important part of the North Norfolk economy. There is an identified need (4)
in some of the District's towns for improved shopping facilities (non food) and national policyadvises that such development should be located within town centres. The Core Strategystates that significant new retail developments should be focused in the larger town centresin the District, and suitable sites are identified in this document at Cromer, Fakenham, NorthWalsham and Sheringham where opportunities exist to extend the choice of shoppingfacilities and improve the appearance of town centres.
2.1.8 The Core Strategy and this Site Allocations Plan also respond to the changing nature ofemployment and identify sufficient opportunities for new employment, including ensuringthat a sufficient supply of land is available to provide a choice of investment opportunitiesin the main employment centres in the east, central and western areas of the District. Thisplan also makes a number of mixed use allocations where it is expected that additionalemployment generating development will be provided alongside the proposed new dwellingsas part of the comprehensive development of each area.
2.1.9 Opportunities for outdoor recreation and access to open space are important for the healthand well-being of the local population and creating a high quality of life. A study (5) suggeststhat in some areas of the District there is a deficiency in good quality open space either interms of the quantity of land available or the quality of space / equipment. New developmentwill be expected to contribute towards addressing these deficiencies and a number of thenew allocations will include significant additional areas of Public Open Space. These newopen spaces are an integral part of the Council's overall development strategy and shouldbe provided as an early part of each development that requires such provision.
2.1.10 The themes identified in the Community Strategy carry through to the sustainability appraisalprocess and collectively the allocations in this plan seek to address locally identified needsin a manner that accords with the principles of sustainability. More details are contained inChapter 3 'Site Selection' and the separate Sustainability Appraisal report that accompaniesthis document.
2.1.11 North Norfolk District is bounded by Kings Lynn and West Norfolk, Breckland, Broadlandand Great Yarmouth local authority areas. Parts of North Norfolk are covered by the BroadsAuthority. The Council works closely with these authorities and regular meetings ensureco-operation on cross-boundary issues. The allocations made in this document have takenaccount of the spatial plans of adjacent authorities. Cross boundary issues include thecapacity of shared services and infrastructure to accommodate the scale of growth proposedand assessment of the likely combined impacts of development on issues such as trafficcirculation, landscape impact and character, impacts on wildlife and so on. This is particularly

Policy Context2
the case where single communities are administered, in parts, by adjacent authorities, asis the case at Hoveton, or where the impacts of development may be noticeable acrosswider areas.
2.1.12 Spatial planning requires that local planning authorities involve and have regard to otherorganisations so that activities can be co-ordinated and common objectives agreed. Thishas been achieved by involving and gathering information from utility and service providers,Local Area Partnerships, statutory bodies such as the Environment Agency, and localgroups. Details of this involvement are contained in the Consultation Statement and theresults have particularly informed individual site requirements and the phasing ofdevelopment outlined in Chapter 14 'Monitoring & Implementation'.

3 Site Selection3.1 Site Selection Process
3.1.1 The allocations in this document have satisfied a number of tests:
They are in compliance with the Core Strategy, and central Government PlanningPolicy Statements;they are based on a robust evidence base and investigation of needs and issues ofthe area determined from research and the participation of key stakeholders;they are considered the most appropriate when considered against a wide range ofreasonable alternatives;their suitability for development has been tested by a process of Sustainability Appraisal,Appropriate Assessment, and stakeholder participation; andsites are, or will be, available and development will be delivered within the plan period.
Compliance with Policy
3.1.2 The Core Strategy sets out the future role and function of each settlement and consequentlythe framework for changes that are being promoted. The Site Allocations document is thedelivery vehicle for many of these changes and has therefore had regard to the housingrequirement set out in the Core Strategy and the spatial objectives for each settlementwhere relevant.
Evidence Base - Research and Participation
3.1.3 A number of studies were commissioned as part of LDF preparation and these are referredto throughout the document. These helped provide an understanding of issues facing theDistrict and identified site specific considerations such as requirements for additional publicopen space, new retail sites, etc. These studies are available on the North Norfolk LDFwebsite.
3.1.4 The allocations made in this document follow various stages of stakeholder and publicparticipation. This included workshops with local stakeholders, discussions with statutorybodies, public consultation on 'preferred options' and further contact with Parish and TownCouncils regarding consideration of alternative sites. This enabled an understanding of thecommunity's view and also an understanding of delivery issues such as the capacity ofschools and infrastructure in the area. The following diagram outlines the key stages ofstakeholder and public consultation.

Site Selection3
Consideration of Alternatives
3.1.5 Many sites were suggested to the Council as having potential for development and theCouncil has identified further sites that may have the potential to provide housing throughthe preparation of a Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment(6). Not all of thesesites are suitable or available for development and the Council therefore needed to assessthe options in order to make choices about which of the sites should be allocated.
3.1.6 The selection process is informed by a combination of Sustainability Appraisal, AppropriateAssessment, public and stakeholder consultation, and assessments of site availability anddeliverability. All sites suggested for development were considered and recommendationson site selection were taken to Council committees for approval by elected Members priorto inclusion in this document.
3.2 Sustainability Appraisal
3.2.1 Sustainability Appraisal (SA) is a process used to appraise the likely social, economic andenvironmental implications of development and is used throughout plan preparation toensure that sustainability principles are embedded in the Plan rather than being consideredas a 'bolt on' extra. It ensures that the Plan addresses locally identified needs in a mannerthat accords with the principles of sustainability. Sustainability is a cornerstone of theGovernment's approach to new development and it follows that unsustainable sites shouldnot be selected for development.
3.2.2 As a first step in the process a Scoping Report(7) was prepared to describe the social,environmental and economic characteristics of North Norfolk, identify the issues facing thedistrict and establishing a series of sustainability objectives that would be used to appraisethe Core Strategy and Site Allocations documents.
3.2.3 A series of criteria were used to appraise or 'score' the social, economic and environmentalconsequences of each allocation. In summary, they cover the following issues and thescoring system adopted weighs in favour of sites that have been previously developed, arewell integrated, have minimal environmental impact and provide a safe and suitable locationfor new development.
an assessment of flood risk and coastal erosion risk;the existence of any other significant constraints such as proximity to hazardousinstallations, etc;consideration of public transport accessibility;suitability of local infrastructure (e.g. highways, water supply, drainage, etc);consideration of any other designations or physical constraints that would materiallyaffect the proposal;an assessment of how well integrated the site is within the settlement, taking accountof pedestrian and cycle routes to key facilities and the relationship with and proximityto existing residential areas, public open space and other services;an assessment of the environmental impact of the proposed site with reference tolandscape, townscape, land drainage, biodiversity and other factors; andconsideration of possible alternative uses of each site including retaining sites in theircurrent use.

3Site Selection
3.2.4 Further details of this process, including results of individual site appraisals, is outlined inthe Sustainability Appraisal Report that accompanies this document.
3.3 Appropriate Assessment
3.3.1 The Habitats and Birds Directives protect sites of exceptional importance in respect of rare,endangered or vulnerable natural habitats and species within Europe. These sites arereferred to as 'European Sites', or 'Natura 2000 sites', and consist of Special Areas ofConservation (SACs), Special Protection Areas (SPAs) and Offshore Marine Sites (OMSs).
3.3.2 Appropriate Assessment (AA) is required of any plan or project likely to have a significanteffect on a European Site, both within and adjacent to the Plan area. The intention is thata plan or project should only be approved after determining that it will not adversely affectthe integrity of any European Site. If, in spite of a negative assessment of the implicationsfor the development, and in the absence of alternative solutions, a plan or project must becarried out for reasons of overriding public interest, compensatory measures must beincorporated to ensure that the overall coherence of a European Site is protected.
3.3.3 An Appropriate Assessment has been completed for North Norfolk(8) which identifies anumber of mechanisms by which new development could indirectly impact on EuropeanWildlife Sites, and specifies measures to ensure that any actual adverse effect is avoided.
3.3.4 These specified measures include a monitoring programme to assess, and respond to, anyimpacts arising from increased visitation to designated sites, and further work on the potentialto affect water quality through discharge of increased nutrient levels if appropriate controlsare not first put in place to avoid this. The Council has prepared a Water InfrastructureStatement(9) that provides information on the capacity of water resources to accommodatethe proposed growth and this will be kept under review. Work will also be published on theimpacts of visitors on European Wildlife Sites and details of potential mitigation measures,including those funded by developer contributions, will be provided in a DeveloperContributions Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).
3.3.5 More details are contained in the Monitoring and Implementation section of this documentand the policies relating to each site identify where there is a need to agree mitigation worksor further study prior to development taking place.
3.4 Deliverability
3.4.1 The allocations made in this plan are intended to contribute to meeting the housingrequirements of the Core Strategy and to fulfil a number of locally identified needs for othertypes of development. It is expected that each of the sites, particularly those relating tohousing provision, will be developed within the next 10-15 years. In each case the Councilhas considered if the proposals would represent a suitable use of the site, if the site is likelyto be available for the development suggested, and if not, what measures need to be taken,and by whom, to ensure that allocations are deliverable.
3.4.2 In many instances the deliverability of an allocation will be dependant upon the actions ofothers. For example, the Council may grant planning permission for a particular developmentbut land owners, developers and others will decide if they wish to build. Prior to building itmay also be necessary to gain other consents and licenses, for example, rights to connect

13North Norfolk Site Allocations
Site Selection3
to the foul drainage system. It may also be necessary to improve the quality of local servicessuch as ensuring there are sufficient places in local schools or providing more public openspace. The deliverability of each of the allocations has been tested through discussionswith site owners, service providers and regulatory bodies to establish that they can beimplemented. The Authority is satisfied that each allocation represents a suitable use forthe site, and that the site is, or will be, available and that the proposed development isdeliverable within the period covered by this plan.
3.4.3 Many of the sites are nevertheless subject to constraints which will either impact on howa site might be developed or when a site might be developed. Specific issues facing a siteare highlighted within the policy relating to each site. Issues raised by infrastructure providersinfluenced the broad housing numbers included in the Core Strategy and are highlightedin the settlement specific policies of the Strategy. Where relevant, these are also referredto in the policy relating to each site in order that the infrastructure implications are clear. Inparticular limited capacity at WwTWs (Waste Water Treatment Works) and the need tocomply with the objectives of the Water Framework Directive (which includes therequirements of the Habitats Directive) is an issue across the district. Developers musttherefore engage in early discussions with Anglian Water and the Environment Agency.The Implementation and Monitoring section of the Core Strategy includes further details.
3.4.4 All allocations will be expected to comply with Core Strategy policy requirements, such asprovision of public open space, submission of flood risk assessments and transportassessments, as well as dealing with other issues that may arise through more detailedconsideration of future planning applications. These include other environmental constraintsnot necessarily highlighted in this document. For example, almost all allocations lie over aPrincipal aquifer and in such locations all reasonable measures must be taken to preventthe input of hazardous substances to groundwater.

The areais an increasingly popular location for retirement and for second-home ownership. A greatdeal of housing development has taken place in Sheringham over the past 10 years or so,resulting in the loss of open countryside. Whilst there is a good mix of house types andtenure in the town as a whole, much of the recent development has been expensive,up-market development catering for retired people from beyond the area. Expansion of thetown beyond its existing boundaries is likely to damage the quality of the surroundinglandscapes and the Core Strategy requires that proposals should minimise anyencroachment into the countryside.
9.0.2 Sheringham retains its traditional employment sectors of fishing and tourism derived fromits seaside location. However, partly because of its location, it has never developed a firmindustrial base. The town has a good range of facilities catering for the needs of residentsof the town and its hinterland, including schools, healthcare facilities and a wealth of leisureand recreational opportunities. In addition, the area benefits from a host of outdoorrecreational opportunities associated with the countryside and the coast as well as havinga top quality golf course. It has a vibrant town centre providing a variety of shops, banks,cafés, etc, meeting most of the needs of the local catchment and attracting people fromfurther afield. The town currently does not have a modern supermarket and many peoplego to Cromer or elsewhere for their weekly food shopping. For clothes, furniture and majorgoods, residents of the area tend to go to Norwich.
9.0.3 Sheringham is accessible by a variety of means of transport. It has rail links with Norwichand beyond, via the Bittern Line, is served by convenient peak-time bus services and iswell located for the main road network.
9.0.4 There are high levels of housing demand and need, reflecting its role as a dormitorysettlement with many local people travelling out of the town for work. It is one of three townsin the central part of the district, together with Holt and Cromer which have differing, butcomplementary, roles.
9.0.5 Sheringham is surrounded by the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty andother environmental constraints and further growth of the town into its sensitive landscapesetting should be avoided. Hence the towns potential to accommodate large-scale housingdevelopment is regarded as limited. The allocations have therefore been selected so as toavoid significant expansion of the town beyond its natural boundaries.
9.0.6 As with many settlements, growth in Sheringham will be dependent upon investment in
North Norfolk Site Allocations86
infrastructure. Anglian Water has indicated that upgrades are required to the sewagetreatment works and foul sewerage network before large-scale growth can occur, andtherefore the timing of development will be dependent on this taking place. In addition, theEducation Authority has indicated that pupil numbers at the primary and high school willneed to be closely monitored and if high numbers do result from the new housing proposedthen expansion may be required.
9.0.7 Whilst there are several green areas in Sheringham, the Open Space Study identified adeficiency in public open space provision, particularly to the south of the town. Theallocations offer an opportunity to provide public access to a large area of green spacewhich currently has no public access, therefore increasing the supply of public open spacein the town.
9.0.8 The Appropriate Assessment(28) recommends a programme of monitoring be initiated toassess impacts of development on the North Norfolk Coast SAC / SPA from visitordisturbance. It does also note that provision of public open space in the town will serve toreduce some visitation pressure at the North Norfolk Coast sites.

9.1 Residential: Land Adjoining Seaview Crescent (SH04)
Description
9.1.1 This site is well-contained within the landscape, despite being within the Norfolk Coast Areaof Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), and development would be well integrated withreasonable access to schools, town centre and other facilities. The site is, however, theonly remaining undeveloped part of the Holway Road frontage and its open character andviews through to Morley Hill make a positive contribution to the general character of thispart of Sheringham. The site's development must therefore protect a vista eastwards towardsMorley Hill along with a footpath / cyclepath to the Hill in order to improve access forrecreational purposes and cross-town links.
9.1.2 The site is connected to Morley Hill which provides an area of green space amongstdevelopment. A buffer should be maintained around the perimeter of the site to maintainconnectivity between the site, Morley Hill and surrounding gardens. Hedgerows could beplanted up and extended around the boundary and within the site, and tree planting includedacross the site. Areas of scrub and grassland should also be retained where possible. Aninitial wildlife survey(29) has been carried out and a further study may be required to assessthe presence of particular species.
9.1.3 The site is within the defined setting of Sheringham Park, as shown on the Proposals Map,and development should have particular regard to the impact on the long views availablefrom the Park.
Constraints
9.1.4 Anglian Water have advised that any surface water discharge would be subject to heavyattenuation and that there are sewers crossing the site and diversion would be at thedevelopers expense.
9.1.5 The site may be of geological importance or interest and may require geodiversityinvestigation.
Deliverability
9.1.6 The site is suitable and available for development. It is in single ownership and the landownerhas indicated support for the allocation. There are no known reasons why development onthe site cannot be achieved within the plan period.
Policy SH04
Land Adjoining Seaview Crescent
Land amounting to 1.6 hectares is allocated for approximately 25 - 45 dwellings. Developmentwill be subject to compliance with adopted Core Strategy policies including on-site provision ofthe required proportion of affordable housing (currently 45%) and contributions towardsinfrastructure, services, and other community needs as required and:
a. Provision of a pedestrian and cycleway route across the site from Holway Road to MorleyHill;
b. site layout that incorporates suitable landscaping and retains a vista across the site towardsMorley Hill;

c. provision of a landscaped buffer around the perimeter of the site, retention of scrub andgrassland within the site and other wildlife mitigation and improvement measures;
d. demonstration that there is adequate capacity in sewage treatment works and the foulsewerage network and that proposals have regard to water quality standards; and,
e. prior approval of a scheme of mitigation to minimise potential impacts on the North NorfolkCoast SAC / SPA and Ramsar site arising as a result of increased visitor pressure, andon-going monitoring of such measures.
This site is within the Norfolk Coast AONB, and development proposals should be informed by,and be sympathetic to, the special landscape character of this protected area. Proposals shouldalso be informed by Development Control Policies EN1 and EN2.

9.2 Residential: Land Adjoining Morley Hill (SH05)
Description
9.2.1 This is a small area of undeveloped land at the foot of Morley Hill, previously used as abuilder's compound during the construction of the adjacent Snaefell Park development.The site is adjacent to existing housing and is well contained within the landscape, despitebeing in the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It has reasonable access tofacilities and pedestrian access to schools could be improved if links are made via openspace and proposed housing sites to the south and west. The owner has previously indicateda willingness to transfer the ownership of Morley Hill to Sheringham Town Council for useas Public Open Space. The development of this site should be dependent upon securingaccess to the Hill from the south and co-ordinated with other developments proposed inthe vicinity to ensure an appropriate network of public open space and pedestrian / cycleroutes, utilising land around the Hill.
9.2.2 The site is connected to Morley Hill which provides an area of green space amongstdevelopment. A buffer should be maintained around the perimeter of the site to maintainconnectivity between the site, Morley Hill and surrounding gardens. Hedgerows could beplanted up and extended around the boundary and within the site and tree planting includedacross the site. Areas of scrub and grassland should also be retained where possible. Aninitial wildlife survey(30) has been carried out and a further study may be required to assessthe presence of particular species.
9.2.3 The site is within the defined setting of SheringhamPark, as shown on the adopted ProposalsMap, and development should have particular regard to the impact on the long viewsavailable from the Park.

9.3 Residential: Land Rear of Sheringham House (SH06)
Description
9.3.1 This is undeveloped land to the south and east of Sheringham House. It is is bordered byexisting residential development and separated from Sheringham House by mature trees.The site is within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) although not prominentin the landscape. This site is, however, one of few that are likely to yield a sizeable numberof dwellings in Sheringham and, if footpath links can be introduced to make it betterintegrated with key facilities in the town, it will be well placed to do so. The mature woodlandon the site contributes to the wider landscape setting of the town and should be retained,managed and supplemented by further landscaping so as to mitigate any possible futurelandscape impact.
9.3.2 As well as the woodland the site also contains hedges, orchard, and semi-improved roughgrassland and such areas should be retained within the site where possible and additionalhedgerows planted and extended around the boundary and within the site. The connectivityof the site to surrounding woodlands, hedgerows and green spaces should be ensured soas not to isolate wildlife. An initial wildlife survey(31) has been carried out and a further studymay be required to assess the presence of particular species.
Constraints
9.3.3 Vehicular access to the site is possible from a number of existing estate roads which abutthe boundary of the site.
9.3.4 The site lies in water quality source protection zone 1/2 as identified by the EnvironmentAgency and only clean, uncontaminated surface water should be discharged to anysoakaway, watercourse or surface water sewer.
9.3.5 Anglian Water have advised that any surface water discharge would be subject to heavyattenuation and SUDS should be used where possible.
9.3.6 The site may be of geological importance or interest and may require geodiversityinvestigation.
Deliverability
9.3.7 The site is suitable and available for development. It is in single ownership and the landownerhas indicated support for the allocation. A number of documents have been submitted byagents seeking to demonstrate deliverability. There are no known reasons why developmenton the site cannot be achieved within the plan period.
Policy SH06
Land Rear of Sheringham House
Land amounting to 2.3 hectares is allocated for approximately 70 dwellings. Development willbe subject to compliance with adopted Core Strategy policies including on-site provision of therequired proportion of affordable housing (currently 45%) and contributions towards infrastructure,services, and other community needs as required and:

a. Development on this site will not be permitted until improved pedestrian access is providedto the town centre, the health centre and the town's schools (including access to MorleyHill);
b. the development must secure the permanent protection of trees and woodland (includingthe orchard at the northern end of the site) and the development must follow a landscapingscheme that incorporates suitable native species together with a management plan;
c. wildlife mitigation and improvement measures including ensuring connectivity of the site tosurrounding habitats;
d. demonstration that there is adequate capacity in sewage treatment works and the foulsewerage network and that proposals have regard to water quality standards; and,

9.4 Residential: Land at Holway Road, Opposite Hazel Ave (SH14)
Description
9.4.1 This site comprises an agricultural field located on the edge of the town. It is enclosed bymature woodland and existing residential development and is not prominent in the landscape.Although slightly distant from the town centre it is close to local schools and informalrecreation areas. Development would have limited impact on the character of the town.Vehicular access would be via Holway Road.
9.4.2 The hedgerow and woodland around the site provide biodiversity benefit and could befurther enhanced through additional planting. A hedge or grassland strip should be retainedwithin the site to connect the northern hedge to the woodland and the woodland edge shouldbe buffered from any development. An initial wildlife survey(32) has been carried out and afurther study may be required to assess the presence of particular species.
9.4.3 The site lies within the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and iswithin the defined setting of Sheringham Park. Development should have particular regardto the impact on the long views available from the Park.
Constraints
9.4.4 There are a number of Second World War structures visible on 1946 aerial photographsand therefore archaeological work may be necessary prior to any development taking place.
9.4.5 Anglian Water have advised that any surface water discharge would be subject to heavyattenuation and that there are sewers crossing the site and diversion would be at thedevelopers expense.
9.4.6 The site may be of geological importance or interest and may require geodiversityinvestigation.
Deliverability
9.4.7 The site is suitable and available for development. It is in single ownership and the landownerhas indicated support for the allocation. There are no known reasons why development onthe site cannot be achieved within the plan period.

Map 9.5 Land at Holway Road, Opposite Hazel Avenue (SH14)
North Norfolk Site Allocations96
9Allocations for Sheringham
9.5 Retail: Site Adjacent Clock Tower (ROS5)
Description
9.5.1 This is a complex site because of the multiplicity of uses and ownerships involved. It is ina very central location within the main shopping area of Sheringham and redevelopmentfor a range of commercial and other uses would expand the opportunities available in thetown centre and improve the townscape. It is one of very few sites in the centre ofSheringhamwhich offers potential to accommodate new retail, commercial, and communitydevelopment. Elements of residential development, on the Cremer Street frontage andparticularly on the upper floor(s) would make efficient use of the site and would also beacceptable.
9.5.2 The buildings fronting Station Road are within the Conservation Area, although the remainderof the site is not. Some buildings within the site, principally the houses, should besafeguarded, however, the retail frontage is of little townscape value and could beredeveloped. Redevelopment must incorporate a replacement library (unless this isrelocated), however, other uses could be displaced.
Constraints
9.5.3 The main constraint to the development of this site is the complex nature of land ownershipsand uses. The telephone exchange, while it is operational is a major constraint, althoughit may well become obsolete within the plan period. The Council will resist proposals thatmay prejudice the comprehensive redevelopment of the site.
9.5.4 Anglian Water have advised that any surface water discharge would be subject to heavyattenuation and SUDS should be used where possible.
Deliverability
9.5.5 The site is in multiple ownerships and uses. Consequently it is recognised that a singlephase redevelopment of the site may prove difficult to achieve. Phased development ofthis site will be acceptable but only if each phase accords with the provisions of adevelopment brief providing for the comprehensive development of the site.
Policy ROS5
Site Adjacent Clock Tower
Land amounting to approximately 1 hectare is allocated as a Retail Opportunity Site suitable fora mixed use development of shops, commercial and community uses with residentialaccommodation above. Development will be subject to compliance with adopted Core Strategypolicies including on-site provision of the required proportion of affordable housing (currently45%) and contributions towards infrastructure, services and other community needs as requiredand:
a. The prior approval of a development brief providing for the comprehensive development ofthe site, phasing of development, mix of uses, vehicular and pedestrian accessarrangements, and conceptual appearance;
b. re-provision or relocation of the library to an equally accessible site within Sheringham TownCentre; and
c. no residential development on the ground floors other than on the Cremer Street frontageof the site.

Monitoring & Implementation14
14 Monitoring & Implementation14.0.1 The successful implementation of the allocations made in this document is dependant upon
the timely delivery of the infrastructure required to support it. In North Norfolk, keyinfrastructure constraints include poor public transport, ageing sewage disposal networksand limited treatment works capacity, energy supply, education and health provision. Localsurface water drainage issues arise in a number of locations across the district.
14.0.2 The issues raised by infrastructure providers were taken into account in the developmentof the Core Strategy and were influential in determining an appropriate scale of growth ineach place and when this growth may occur. Additional information has since been received,notably following the findings of the water quality Review of Consents process and theWater Framework Directive. In developing the allocations made in this Plan, the Councilhas identified infrastructure constraints, and the policies attached to each of the allocationsidentify where these will need to be addressed before development can occur.
14.0.3 This section summarises the current position regarding key infrastructure. Table 14.1'Monitoring of Site Allocations' identifies the targets to be monitored on each of theallocations.
Water Supply
14.0.4 AnglianWater has a statutory obligation to meet the growth for North Norfolk and is workingon a 25 year plan to improve water supply in Norfolk. With the exception of a small area tothe south east of the district which is served by the Broads, North Norfolk's water resourcesare entirely dependent on the North Norfolk Coast Cromer Ridge chalk aquifer. Currentlybore hole levels are about 70% full which is adequate.
14.0.5 To serve new development, developers make a formal request to Anglian Water for watersupply to be provided to new properties and then pay the difference between the cost ofthe scheme and the income that Anglian Water expect to receive from water rates over a12 year period. Anglian Water has indicated that the water supply networks have capacityavailable, and therefore no constraints are anticipated.
14.0.6 A large part of the district is in an area identified in the Environment Agency North NorfolkCatchment Abstraction Management Strategy as having no water available for further waterabstraction licencing. All allocations made in this document are therefore subject to astandard requirement (Core Strategy Policy EN6) to minimise water consumption.
Foul Sewerage Networks
14.0.7 Anglian Water has indicated that there is either limited, or no, spare capacity in the foulsewerage networks for all of the main settlements. Therefore this constraint will need to beovercome before development can proceed. Typically developers will be expected tocontribute to funding upgrades to the existing network or provide new network connectionsto Sewage Treatment Works (STWs) to adoptable standards.
North Norfolk Site Allocations180
Sewage Treatment Works (STWs)
14.0.8 While infrastructure associated with water supply and sewers can be provided and fundedby developers, upgrades to STWs can only currently be provided by Anglian Water, andthis work is dependent on a five-year funding cycle.
14.0.9 TheWater Infrastructure Statement has identified several settlements where there is eitherlimited or no capacity at existing STWs. Whilst brownfield sites may be brought forward inthese areas, if the proposed flow rate is no greater than the current / previous flow rate,greenfield allocations will need to be phased so that development does not occur aheadof improvements to the STWs. Anglian Water's funding is fully committed in this AssetManagement Plan, and therefore 2015 is the earliest that any improvements can be madein the area.
14.0.10 Development in particular locations will therefore need to be phased until the sewagetreatment works are upgraded. Anglian Water has indicated that the low levels ofdevelopment in the Service Villages would not cause concern except for at Blakeney,Corpusty, Roughton and Walsingham.
14.0.11 Anglian Water has indicated the timescale at which they would be able to do the necessaryupgrading works and these are an important constraint to development in the early yearsof the plan period. The improvement works are dependent on sufficient funding and AnglianWater's priority listing of works in the Anglian region.
14.0.12 There could be severe consequences for nature conservation sites downstream ofdevelopment if sufficient infrastructure is not in place, and there is particular concern aboutdevelopment proposed in areas that ultimately discharge their treated foul water into theWensum / Broads system. The consent limits are set to ensure the required water qualitystandards can be achieved. In particular theWater Framework Directive will impose certainstandards of water quality which maymean that improvements are needed to existing STWsconsents even if no extra flows from development growth are received. Anglian Water willneed to include these works in their funding programme as necessary.
Drainage
14.0.13 Some areas of North Norfolk suffer from poor drainage, however this is generally on a smallscale. There is opportunity to address this through provision of Sustainable Urban DrainageSystems (SUDS) in new development, however these are not appropriate in all geologicalconditions. Run-off of surface water is a particular problem in relation to the soft cliffs alongthe North Norfolk coast which can add to coastal erosion problems, therefore developmentmust demonstrate that changes in surface water drainage created by development doesnot exacerbate erosion.
14.0.14 Where the Council is aware of specific localised surfaced water flooding, this is referred toin the policies relating to that particular site.
Energy Provision
14.0.15 Many areas of North Norfolk are without mains gas which leads to reliance on oil andelectricity, creating issues of fuel poverty in some parts of the district. This is despite BactonGas Terminal, which imports a significant proportion of the UK’s gas, being located in thedistrict. Existing and proposed off-shore wind farms in Norfolk will not necessarily feed
181North Norfolk Site Allocations
Monitoring & Implementation14
directly into local energy supply. EDF Energy is the electricity supplier for North Norfolkand the area is fed from three distinct parts of the EDF distribution network which haveparticular issues as follows:
14.0.16 The west of the district is supplied from amajor grid substation at Hempton, near Fakenham,which is approaching maximum capacity. However, there is sufficient capacity at the primarysubstation at Fakenham to meet predicted residential expansion in Fakenham and theimmediate area. Any significant development of the former Sculthorpe Airbase, e.g. TattersettBusiness Park, will require the replacement of the transformers at the Coxford PrimarySubstation. Development in Wells-next-the-Sea will require works to the Primary Substationat Egmere.
14.0.17 The central area of the district is supplied from a major grid substation near Cawston (inthe Broadland District Council area). There are no issues regarding the capacity available,however works will be required to the Cromer Primary Substation before the existing capacitycan be utilised to serve new development in Cromer.
14.0.18 The eastern part of the district is supplied from the Cawston substation and another atThorpe in Norwich. At times of peak load these circuits are operating very close to theirmaximum capacity and major reinforcement works would be required to these stations,and also to the Scarborough Hill switching station near North Walsham, to meet anysignificant growth in the area which includes the main settlements of Hoveton, NorthWalsham, Stalham, and Service Villages of Ludham, Catfield and Horning. This projectwould involve a multi-million pound investment and would take at least three to four yearsto implement. In addition, before any significant increase in electricity demand in NorthWalsham itself can be met, further works at the North Walsham primary substation are alsorequired.
14.0.19 The electricity capacity which was released by the closure of HL Foods in North Walshamhas recently been utilised by the expansion of other businesses in the town and is no longeravailable to be used at this site.
14.0.20 The relatively low levels of growth proposed in the villages can be accommodated withinexisting capacity unless there is a significant cumulative effect. However, capacity problemsneed to be addressed before growth can occur in Cromer, Stalham, Wells-next-the-Seaand, in particular, North Walsham. EDF Energy have indicated that the works required atCromer andWells-next-the-Sea would take about 12 to 18 months from instruction, howeverthe works required at North Walsham will take approximately three to four years. EDFEnergy do not carry out the upgrades required until they are certain that development willoccur, therefore in all events developers should contact EDF Energy directly at the earliestpossible opportunity to determine the capacity available and the lead in time for any worksrequired.
14.0.21 While electricity demands from residential development are relatively easy to assess, thisis not the case with employment areas as electricity demand can vary widely dependingon the nature of the businesses which may choose to locate there. Therefore EDF Energycannot give assurance that there will be sufficient power available for employment areaswithout having specific details of the nature and size of the businesses and sufficient leadin time. Therefore businesses interested in occupying employment land should also contactEDF Energy directly at the earliest possible opportunity to determine the capacity availableand the lead in time for any works required.
14.0.22 In light of these constraints, and in light of Government targets for zero carbon development,on-site renewable sources of energy are encouraged for all developments, especially thosein areas with substation capacity issues (see Core Strategy Policy EN6 ‘Sustainableconstruction and energy efficiency’).

14Monitoring & Implementation
Education
14.0.23 Norfolk County Council is the local education authority and is currently reviewing educationprovision in the district, based on revised pupil forecasts. High Schools serving the areaare in Aylsham, Cromer, Fakenham (including sixth form centre), Hoveton, North Walsham(including separate post 16 college), Reepham, Sheringham (including sixth form centre),Stalham and Wells-next-the-Sea. The number of primary school aged children in the areahas been steadily declining and this fall in pupil numbers is now beginning to impact onlocal secondary schools. However, the decline in primary pupil numbers now appears tobe stabilising. The Education Authority has indicated that the pupils emerging from thelevels of housing proposed in the Service Villages could be accommodated within existingprovision, however in some of the towns there may be problems with lack of capacity.Particular problems identified by the Education Authority are listed below, however, pupilnumber forecasts change over time and do not extend beyond 2012 - as such the combinedimpact of new housing and declining pupil numbers cannot be accurately quantified andwill need to be kept under regular review.
14.0.24 Cromer: All three schools are located on the same campus and expansion would beextremely difficult as the site and playing fields fall below DfES recommended size standards.High school pupil numbers are predicted to steadily decline which could create additionalsurplus spaces, however the number of primary aged pupils is predicted to increase. Giventhe restricted nature of the sites, there is a risk that the additional pupils emerging fromnew housing may not be able to be accommodated through an expansion of the existingschools, and an additional site might need to be identified to ensure there is long termflexibility to deliver additional local school places if required (see proposed allocation ED2).
14.0.25 Fakenham: A housing allocation of 800-900 dwellings would generate sufficient pupils tosupport a new 210 space primary school and a site for this should be identified, howevera review of school provision in Fakenham would be required in order to establish whethera new school is needed. High school pupil numbers are forecast to decline which maycreate spare capacity, and small scale expansion at the high school should also beachievable (see proposed allocation F01).
14.0.26 Holt: Holt is served by Sheringham High School and new development in Holt would leadto additional places being required at SheringhamHigh School. This is currently at capacityand operates from a restricted site and the playing fields already fall below DfES guidelines,meaning that there may be significant difficulties in accommodating additional pupils. Highschool pupil numbers are predicted to decline slightly which could create some additionalcapacity, however the combined effect of housing at Holt and Sheringham will place thehigh school under pressure and expansion of the school playing fields may be necessary.There is spare capacity at Holt Primary School and some limited capacity for furtherexpansion in situ.
14.0.27 Hoveton: Allocations in the Greater Norwich / Broadland District Council LDF will also bewithin the Broadland High School catchment area, however pupil numbers in this area aredeclining and there is some scope for expansion of the existing sites, so it should beachievable to accommodate pupils generated from the proposed levels of housing.
14.0.28 NorthWalsham: The high school site is restricted and landlocked which would make futureexpansion in situ difficult, however there is some spare capacity at the high school andpupil numbers are forecast to decline. There is some scope to expand Millfield PrimarySchool in situ to accommodate the additional pupils, however pupil numbers will need tobe closely monitored and an additional school site identified to ensure additional schoolplaces can be delivered if required (see proposed allocations NW01, NW04-07 and NW30).
14.0.29 Sheringham: SheringhamHigh School,Woodfields Special School and SheringhamPrimary
183North Norfolk Site Allocations
Monitoring & Implementation14
School share a site which is restricted and expansion in situ would be very difficult. Primaryand high school numbers are predicted to decline slightly up to 2012 which could createadditional capacity, however the combined effects of housing in Holt and Sheringham willplace the high school under pressure. Declining pupil numbers may provide sufficientflexibility to meet this need, however the impact beyond 2012 is not known. Pupil numbersat the primary and high school will need to be closely monitored and if high numbers doemerge from new housing, expansion of the school playing fields may be necessary.
14.0.30 Stalham: It is anticipated that pupils from the housing proposed could be accommodatedwithin existing provision, however limited expansion and adaptations could be required atthe high school and infants school.
14.0.31 Wells-next-the-Sea: There is spare capacity at the high school and primary school andpupils generated from the housing proposed could be easily accommodated within existingschool provision.
NHS Norfolk
14.0.32 NHS Norfolk is responsible for the commissioning of health services in North Norfolk andhas recently approved its 5 year strategic plan for the provision of health services throughoutNorfolk. There are some 15GP practices in North Norfolk as well as 14 NHS dental practices.Intermediate care facilities are located in North Walsham and Fakenham. A review of dentalcapacity throughout Norfolk is currently underway and additional capacity is beingcommissioned in Cromer, Holt / Burnham Market/Wells-next-the-Sea, Fakenham andHoveton / Wroxham. The commissioning currently being undertaken is based on existingpopulation requirements and will need to be increased in future to cope with furtherdevelopment. The levels of housing proposed in the Service Villages could, in general, beaccommodated within existing provision for these villages. However, there may be capacityproblems in some of the principal and secondary settlements with the levels of housingproposed.
14.0.33 Cromer: The existing GP facilities are already over capacity and would not be able toaccommodate any additional patients NHS Norfolk is currently looking at options with thepractice but additional capacity would have to be provided to cope with the proposed levelof housing growth. There is currently some NHS dental capacity and NHS Norfolk iscommissioning additional activity.
14.0.34 Fakenham: The housing allocation proposed would exceed current GP capacity. However,plans are already in hand to provide newGP facilities in the town which would have sufficientcapacity for the proposed growth. Fakenham acts as a hub for the local area as far aspeople seeking dental treatment is concerned so capacity is being commissioned hereeven though the provision per head is above the Norfolk average.
14.0.35 Holt: The existing GP facilities are adequate for the proposed level of housing growth.However, there is currently no NHS dental provision in Holt. Activity is currently beingcommissioned in Holt / Burnham Market / Wells-next-the-Sea.
14.0.36 Hoveton: The existing GP facilities are adequate for the proposed level of housing growth.However, it is recognised that there will also be growth in the area relating to the GreaterNorwich Development Partnership area. NHS Norfolk is currently reviewing capacity in thatarea and planning for additional infrastructure that may be required in the neighbouringdistrict. There is currently no NHS dental provision in Hoveton / Wroxham, although NHS
North Norfolk Site Allocations184
14Monitoring & Implementation
Norfolk is planning to commission activity in the locality later in 2009/10. Once again, thiswill not be sufficient for the new developments here and in the neighbouring areas andadditional capacity will be required.
14.0.37 North Walsham: NHS Norfolk is currently looking at the re-provision of the existingintermediate care facilities and this will take account of the proposed growth. However, thephysical capacity of GP facilities to accommodate expansion is very limited and someadditional capacity will be necessary. North Walsham has 4 NHS dental practices and areasonable provision for the current population. One newly commissioned practice onlyopened in March 2009. Additional service capacity will be required, although the physicalcapacity is likely to be sufficient.
14.0.38 Sheringham: The existing primary care facilities have recently been upgraded and expandedand are sufficient to accommodate the planned, limited growth in and around the town. Adental suite is available in the health centre, but additional service capacity may be required.The NHS dentist practice in Sheringham has sufficient capacity for the existing populationso, with limited growth planned, dental capacity should be satisfactory.
14.0.39 Stalham: The existing GP facilities have some physical capacity to accommodate theproposed growth, but this would have to be reviews and some expansion of capacity mightbe necessary. The same applies to NHS dentistry capacity.
14.0.40 Wells: Although the proposed growth is relatively limited, the existing GP facilities arealready at their limit so some expansion of capacity will be necessary. There is some existingNHS dentistry available, but further activity is currently being commissioned in Holt / BurnhamMarket / Wells-next-the-Sea.
Monitoring
14.0.41 The monitoring and review of the effectiveness of Local Development Documents (LDDs)are key aspects of the new planning system, and should be undertaken on a continuousbasis. By identifying appropriate indicators and targets, the effectiveness of policies andproposals can be monitored. The results of such monitoring will then identify which policiesand implementationmeasures are succeeding, and which need revising or replacing becausethey are not achieving the intended effect. The allocations in this document are intendedto achieve the stated objectives of the Core Strategy. Many aspects of the Core Strategytherefore depend upon the successful implementation of these allocations. It is important,therefore, to monitor their implementation and evaluate their effectiveness.
14.0.42 An Annual Monitoring Report is produced in December each year and this is the mainrecord of monitoring information. Progress on the implementation of the allocations willneed to be reviewed in order for the Council (and where necessary its partners) to respondby either taking action to secure or encourage their implementation, or to revise LocalDevelopment Documents, as appropriate. The need to intervene, or otherwise, will be keptunder regular review.
14.0.43 All of the allocations made in this Plan will first need to secure planning permission, anumber will require the prior approval of development briefs, and some will be dependantupon the provision of additional facilities or infrastructure. These factors have been takeninto account in setting the performance indicators for each site. Where dates specify thatdevelopment may need to be delayed, the dates specified are the latest dates, and earlierdelivery will be permitted where this is possible.
14.0.44 The Core Strategy includes a set of adopted monitoring targets, many of which are directly
185North Norfolk Site Allocations
Monitoring & Implementation14
applicable to individual development sites. The following table (Table 14.1) shows a summaryof the allocations made, monitoring criteria (indicators), delivery targets, source of the target,and responsibility for implementation.
14.0.45 Additional areas that may require monitoring include:
Capacity of infrastructure in settlements; andcapacity of schools and their ability to accommodate children arising from thedevelopment proposed, particularly in Cromer where a site for future school expansionis allocated.
14.0.46 In addition, the Appropriate Assessment(61) identified a number of mechanisms by whichnew development could impact on European Wildlife Sites and specified measures toensure that any actual adverse effect is avoided. These include a monitoring programmeto assess a baseline and therefore identify any change in visitation / disturbance impacton designated sites as a result of additional development. Whilst in most cases it is notconsidered that an adverse effect on the integrity of the site's interests is likely as a resultof the allocations, the monitoring is recommended due to the uncertain behaviour of futureresidents. This should enable a quick response to any impacts that have the potential tolead to an adverse effect on the integrity of international sites. The Appropriate Assessmentrecommends that monitoring programmes should be developed for:
The North Norfolk Coast sites;The Broads / Broadland sites;Great Yarmouth North Denes; andWinterton-Horsey.
14.0.47 This is relevant for allocations in all selected settlements except for Aldborough, Bacton,Mundesley, Overstrand and Roughton.
14.0.48 The Council is committed to working in partnership with Natural England and adjoiningauthorities whose growth will also increase recreational and visitor pressure on these areas.The Council will publish further work on this matter.The Appropriate Assessment notes that early provision of open space associated with newdevelopments, or improvements to existing provision, will have some effect on limitingadditional pressure on designated sites (especially with regard to day-to-day use for dogwalking and other activities) and should be sought in all cases. Core Strategy policy requiresthe provision of public open space in all schemes of 10 or more dwellings and this shouldbe provided early in the development of a site to establish its use among residents andensure that this limiting effect on designated sites is realised. It is therefore important tomonitor provision to ensure that it is provided in a timely and appropriate manner.
14.0.49 New development also has the potential to affect water quality through discharge ofincreased nutrient levels. The Appropriate Assessment identified that further considerationand possible assessment of water quality information arising from ongoing or commissionedstudies will be required to fully assess possible impacts on water quality in the catchmentof international sites. The Council has produced a Water Infrastructure Statement (March2010) which identifies particular constraints and relevant site policies requiring priordemonstration of adequate capacity before development can proceed.
