Options considered

1. To adopt the document
2. To not adopt the document, not considered to be appropriate considering the extensive public involvement via consultation, and the document having already been adopted by The Broads Authority.

A public drop-in session was held at the New Victory Hall in Neatishead on Saturday 14 September and this was well attended.
