Minutes:
Cllr A Brown, Portfolio Holder for Planning & Enforcement, introduced this item. He said that the report sought approval to adopt the Neatishead and Hall Road Barton Turf Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan in line with national policy and best practice. He explained that as part of the NNDC’s ongoing management of its 84 conservation areas, it was agreed that the Broads Authority should lead on the production of the Conservation Area Appraisals in the conservation areas that are shared between the two authorities, with input from NNDC. Neatishead is the latest CAA to be reviewed by the Broads Authority.
As Cllr H Blathwayt had already voted in support of this item as a member of the Broads Authority, he abstained from voting.
Cllr J Toye said that he would be pleased to second the recommendation, adding that he would welcome more CAAs coming forward across the District and hoped to see one for his ward.
Cllr A Varley spoke as a member from the East of the district and said he was fully supportive of the proposals.
Cllr N Dixon spoke as a local member for one of the areas included in the CAA. He said that he was appreciative of the work undertaken by the Broads Authority on this and urged Cabinet to support it.
It was proposed by Cllr A Brown, seconded by Cllr J Toye and
