Design Guide
We have produced a draft Design Guide.
The Design Guide will help anyone submitting planning applications for new development so they have a clearer idea at an early stage what is likely to be acceptable in the Broads.
It should help to ensure that it relates well to its surroundings and enhances the Broads with development that is sustainable, increases biodiversity, improves accessibility and contributes to the local area.
The consultation runs to 4pm on 9 December 2022.

Norfolk County Council is proposing to reduce the budget for the mobile library service by £200,000 – this is nearly half of the existing budget of £422,000. To make this saving they now have to find ways to run the mobile library service in a different way and potentially reduce the number of routes.
To do this they have launched a consultation to find out how residents’ use the mobile libraries, how much they value the service and what elements of the service could change.
Deadline to participate is Wednesday 21st September and you can access the Consultation Link below for more information:

It has come to the attention of the Potter Heigham Trust that there is a rumour in the Village stating that the Trust is no longer active. This is not true. The Potter Heigham Trust is extremely well managed and continues to fulfil its responsibility of supporting the community and those in need in the Parish.

Serco, working with North Norfolk District Council are changing household waste and recycling collections across North Norfolk to improve bin collection routes, reducing the distances bin trucks are travelling and accommodating new homes in the area.
These changes will be introduced from Monday, September 5 and will mean that over 90% of households in North Norfolk will see a change to the day or week that their household waste and recycling bin is collected.
Residents whose collection day remains unchanged are likely to have a change to their collection time, so it is important that bins are put out by 7:00am.
Between August 8 and 30, Serco will be sending out a leaflet to all North Norfolk District Council households to advise of any changes to their existing household waste and recycling service. Once you have received your leaflet, if you have any questions, please read the FAQs webpage.
Waste and recycling bins will continue to be collected on an alternating weekly basis and people with a garden waste subscription will not see this service change.
There will be no collection day changes at this stage for customers with a brown bin as part of the Garden Waste Collection Service, so please continue to put your brown bin out on the day you currently have it collected.
Emma Windle, Senior Contract Manager for Norfolk, Serco, said:
“I would like to thank my North Norfolk team for all their help with the planning and scheduling of these changes. Which will mean a more even distribution of workload for them moving forward.
“Please check your leaflet, or the website, to confirm how these changes will affect you and remember to put your bin out by 7:00am on your new collection day.”
Cllr. Nigel Lloyd, portfolio holder for Environmental Services, Climate Change and Environment, said:
“North Norfolk has seen a great deal of growth over the past decade. Providing an efficient waste collection service has become an increasingly complex task given the largely rural nature of our district and the large number of new homes being built in different locations.
“The Council’s aim is to provide a reliable waste collection service to all our residents that are delivered in the most efficient way possible. Serco identified that a full review of our waste collection services across the whole district was necessary in order to optimise the service. That work has now been completed and a new collection rota has been developed that will be implemented in September.
“The changes will allow us to streamline the waste collection process and make service more efficient by lowering fuel costs whilst introducing environmental benefits, including reduced emissions and a lower carbon footprint. The new routes will maximise the productivity of our vehicles and the collection operatives by reducing the multiple inefficient small routes across our district, which will ultimately result in less mileage and lower maintenance costs.
“Residents are strongly advised to take note of the literature you will soon receive, our web portal and social media posts to check if there will be changes to collection days/times for their household.”
Notice is hereby given that a casual vacancy has arisen in the Office of Councillor for the Parish Council.
If by 25 August, 2022 (14 days excluding Dies Non, after the date of this notice) a request for an election to fill said vacancy is made in writing to the Returning Officer at the address below by TEN electors for the said Parish, an election will be held to fill the said vacancy, otherwise the vacancy will be filled by co-option.
Where a written request for an election is being made, the signatures of the ten electors should be accompanied by the printed names and addresses, so that the Proper Officer can check the validity of the request.
If an election is called, it will take place not later than 28 October, 2022.
If an election is not requested, the Parish Council will fill this vacancy by co-option.
