  • Broads Authority pre-application advice service

    The Broads Authority’s Planning Committee have asked the Parish Council to publicise that, as a Local Planning Authority, they provide pre-application advice on planning queries, including around whether planning permission is needed and on proposals.

    This advice is free of charge.

    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 pre-application 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.

    The Broads Authority planning department can also advise on the correct form to use and what further documents or information will be required, and, again, this can save time and expense for all parties.

    One of the main functions of pre-application contact 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 may be needed. Many people find this really useful and the opportunity to engage with potential applicants at an early stage is very valuable as this can help to get the best scheme on a site.

    Contact should be made via email: [email protected] and it is useful to put ‘Pre-application advice request’ in the subject box.

    They aim to respond within 3 weeks, but this will depend on how busy they are because dealing with the planning applications where a fee has been paid is the priority.

  • HM Queen Elizabeth II

    A message from the Chairman of the Council:

    “On behalf of Reedham Parish Council and residents of the village, I would like to express the deep sadness with which we have received news of the death of HM Queen Elizabeth today. Our condolences go out to the Royal Family and our thoughts are with them during this time of personal grief and national sorrow.

    The Queen has served our country with distinction and honour throughout Her reign and our thoughts and deepest sympathy are with King Charles and the rest of the Royal Family at this sad time.”

     

    There will be a 2 minute silence at 11.00 am on the day of the royal funeral. At the next Parish Council Meeting there will also be a 1 minute silence.

    For those wishing to leave a message a book of condolence will be placed at the Church. Locations of all books of condolence can be found on the Norfolk County Council website –  www.norfolk.gov.uk – or an e-book of condolence is available on the official royal website – www.royal.uk.

    There will be a short service of Prayer and Reflection at the church to mark the Queen’s death, followed by a Proclamation of Accession of Charles III, on Sunday 11th at 4pm with all parishioners welcome to attend. Please look out for the arrangements for future services on the Acle and Bure to Yare Benefice website and social media . The church is open for anyone who would like to pray and reflect.

  • The Tour de Broads through Reedham

    On Sunday 21st August the annual Tour de Broads cycle sportive will be pedalling their way through Reedham and stopping at the village hall for refreshments. It is anticipated there will be around 150 cyclists stopping at the village hall, and about 350 more just cycling through the village. They will be there between 08:40 and 11:30, all cycling in small groups and enjoying the countryside views.

    Please note, this is not a race and there are no closed roads. Riders will be cycling along the Freethorpe Road toward Reedham, will turn into  Pottles Lane, Witton Green, The Havaker, then onto Station Road, along Riverside then leave the village on Mill Rd.  Maps of the route and route through Reedham can be found below.

    Sadly, Reedham is historically a village where the signage has been removed or tampered with in the past. The event has been approved by Broadland & South Norfolk Safety Advisory Group and GYBC have been advised. The organisers have applied for and received permission from Norfolk Highways to place the signage along the roads.

    Signs will be erected from Thursday 18th August. All signage will be removed by the end of Monday 22nd.

    The event is fully supported, risk assessed & insured and this year the charity partner is Nelsons Journey.

    It would be great if Reedham could support the cyclists on their 100 mile ride – all raising funds and awareness for a worthwhile charity.
