Surlingham

Are you aware that both the Broads Authority and South Norfolk District Council offer pre-application planning advice? The Broads Authority offer this service for free.

They can answer your queries and confirm if planning permission is needed before starting work.  

There are many benefits to contacting the planning team prior to starting any work. There are instances where development takes place without the correct planning permission and this can lead, in some circumstances, to enforcement proceedings.

It is often the case that if preapplication advice had been sought, then the works might not have gone ahead thereby saving the householder time, money, and inconvenience, whilst where planning permission is not needed, it is always useful to have this confirmed in writing.

One of the main functions of pre-application is to give preliminary informal advice on whether a scheme is likely to be acceptable if an application for planning permission is submitted and to advise on any changes or amendments that would be needed.

To the mowers, rakers, and weeders for your work this afternoon. Amazing what a few volunteers can achieve in a couple of hours. And we weren’t rained on either! Great work – thank you.

Just a quick note to say the fish van will not be here at the farm shop tomorrow Thurs 27th October as Alec is on a holiday, but he will be back as usual from 10am-2pm next week Thurs 3rd November.

Have a super week all 🙂
