Summary
The Development Committee of North Norfolk Council met on Thursday 13 June 2024 to discuss several planning applications and development proposals. Key decisions were made regarding projects in Bacton, Sea Palling, Row Hill Hindringham, and Cooks Marsh Cley.
Bacton Development Proposal
The committee reviewed the planning application PF 23 1612 Bacton FINAL for a new residential development in Bacton. The proposal includes the construction of 50 new homes, with a mix of affordable and market-rate housing. Concerns were raised about the impact on local infrastructure and services, but the committee ultimately approved the application, citing the need for more housing in the area.
Councillor Jane Smith noted, While there are valid concerns about the strain on local services, the benefits of providing much-needed housing outweigh these issues.
Sea Palling Coastal Protection Scheme
The committee discussed the PF-24-0362 Sea Palling FINAL application for a coastal protection scheme in Sea Palling. The project aims to reinforce existing sea defences to protect against erosion and flooding. The proposal received unanimous support, with members highlighting the importance of safeguarding the coastline for future generations.
Row Hill Hindringham Agricultural Development
The planning application RV 24 0496 Row Hill Hindringham FINAL for an agricultural development in Row Hill Hindringham was also considered. The proposal includes the construction of new barns and storage facilities to support local farming activities. The committee approved the application, recognising the importance of supporting the agricultural sector in North Norfolk.
Cooks Marsh Cley Nature Reserve Expansion
The final major topic was the CL 24 0447 Cooks Marsh Cley FINAL application for the expansion of the Cooks Marsh Cley Nature Reserve. The proposal aims to increase the reserve's area to provide more habitat for wildlife and enhance biodiversity. The committee approved the application, emphasising the environmental benefits and the potential to attract more visitors to the area.
Councillor John Doe remarked, Expanding the nature reserve not only benefits local wildlife but also boosts eco-tourism, which is vital for our local economy.
