Revision to Planning Application – The Farthings (Hethel Road)

by

Ref: 2024/1135
Proposal: Construction of 2 bungalows & 1 chalet bungalow, along with 4.09 acres of land transferred to the Parish Council for Community Owned Land
Location: Land South West of Hethel Road
Applicant: Mr Julian Wells
Application Type: Full Planning Permission

Please return comments by 8 August 2024, quoting reference 2024/1135

The revision is in response to NCC Highways comments about the nature of the road – see documents on SNC website. The documents which provide the revisions are dated from 24 July 2024. Considerations discussed with Parish Council, FWP Ltd and South Norfolk include:

  • Improved road safety – pinch point identified by NCC Highways – widened roadway
  • Loss of 37m of hedging removed to accommodate road widening (7m of which are the development site entrance). But, extensive new hedge to replace existing one which is of poor quality – which will need growing time.
  • New trees – to replace lost tree.
  • Informal passing place removed. It has grown to fill the ditch and impede local drainage.
  • Drainage in that section of road renewed and improved.
  • Public safety improved with a new public footpath on the inside of the hedge and in front of plot 3, taking people off Hethel Road and through to the Farthings entrance.

Food & Beverage Buddies

by

Does the month last longer than your money??

Do you know of anybody who struggles to feed themselves or their family??

If so – Read on!!!

Food and Beverage Buddies (FABB) Is a charity run by volunteers who collect food which is just about on the “best by” date from M&S and distribute it to people who could use a little help with providing food for themselves or their family.

The local church is helping with distribution and will receive a delivery at 9 am on Tuesday mornings throughout the summer (school holiday period) as from Tuesday 30th July. We will have no idea of what is likely to be delivered but we expect bread, cakes, vegetables and any other “pre-packed” items which have been unsold. These will be available for people to collect either for themselves or anybody they know who is in need.

You can call at Forncett St Edmunds church, NR16 1AJ (opposite the Jolly Farmers) between 9 am and 10.30 am each Tuesday.

There is no charge for this food and if you are unable to get there, contact a churchwarden at your nearest church and they may be able to arrange a home delivery.
