Response to Planning Appeal for Overtons Way

6/12/2021

0 Comments

 
The applicant wishing to build 9 dwellings and a commercial unit on Overtons Way has appealed South Norfolk Council's decision to refuse planning permission.  The Parish Council has sent it's comments on the appeal to the Planning Inspectorate.  Our response can be accessed here and the applicant's statement of case here.  We felt it was important to bring to the attention of the Planning Inspectorate the relevant policies in the newly adopted Neighbourhood Plan, which at the time of decision by the Local Planning Authority held significant weight.    Our previous comments on the application prior to refusal can be found on South Norfolk Council's website at https://info.south-norfolk.gov.uk/online-applications/info.south-norfolk.gov.uk/online-applications/ and by searching via application 2020/1689.

Invitation to Tender

Poringland Parish Council represents the parishioners of the village of Poringland and has recently acquired 30 acres of land within the village to develop a community led project to provide recreational, amenity and sporting facilities for local people.
 
We do not trade for profit, any surpluses generated by the Parish Council are reinvested in the development of amenities and services for the village.
 
Our vision and values reflect our commitment to putting parishioners at the very heart of everything that we do.
 
The land is located off The Ridings, Poringland, NR14 7WA, and currently consists of five parcels with natural boundaries.  

Poringland Parish Council is looking to appoint a lead consultant/architect (The supplier) to guide them through the development of initial designs, public consultation, commissioning investigative ground works, design work to RIBA Stage 3, preparing planning application documents; submission of the planning application and associated attendance at meetings as required; amendments to planning application if required, and any other associated works commensurate with taking the project to the stage of determination of a planning application.
 
Scope of the works
The proposed works include:
  • Basic design options (approximately 3) which can be used for public consultation purposes.  The supplier is to run the public consultation, which should be timed to give the greatest opportunity for local people to participate.  Part of this consultation should consist of physical displays within Poringland community centre.
  • Site and infrastructure design including access roads, and parking.  The proposed facilities may possibly include, but will not be limited to, Multi Use Games Areas, allotments, skate park/pump track and running/walking track around the whole site (the Parish Council also owns the adjacent woodland to the east of the site).
  • Feasibility study to confirm that the proposed uses of the land are suitable for the proposed areas.
  • Collation of consultation results, Parish Council feedback and feasibility study to create a Master Design.
  • Site Drainage Strategy; Design and Access Statement; Planning Statement; Flood Risk Assessment.
  • Pre-application discussions and post-submission liaison with the local planning authority.
  • Supporting reports including: Transport Statement; Detailed landscape design; Topographical Survey; Ecological Report; Arboricultural Report; Lighting Design; Noise Assessment; Archaeological Desktop Survey.
  • Outline costings for the scheme

A Very Merry Poringland Christmas

21/11/2019

0 Comments

 
Poringland Parish Council invites you to join us for some Festive Christmas cheer.  This year there will be a grand village Christmas tree installed at Poringland Community Centre for everyone to enjoy.
Join us on 8th December at 5pm for the singing of some carols and other fun Christmas songs around the tree.  We will be accompanied by the fabulous Cawston Band and the wonderful ‘Can’t Sing, Won’t Sing’ group.  The band will be taking requests, so get your favourite Christmas song lined up! 
There will be mince pies and mulled wine (and the bar will be open for those who would like something a bit stronger).

And last, but certainly not least, we are expecting a visit from Santa himself.  He will have some treats for the children (and any adults that are on the ‘nice list’).

We look forward to seeing you there!

A very merry Poringland Community Christmas
