  • HCC’s Response to the North Norfolk District Council Local Plan Consultation

    North Norfolk District Council is preparing a new Local Plan for North Norfolk.

    The Government has introduced significant changes including legislating for a new plan making system and widespread changes to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) and legislation. The Council adopted its current Local Plan on 17 December 2025, however the Government now require us to review and update our Local Plan in order for us to respond to their reforms to the planning system to make sure that our planning policies are up to date, consistent and effective, and that housing and other needs can be appropriately planned for.

    As part of the early work to prepare the new Local Plan, we are undertaking a ‘Scoping Consultation’.

    The purpose of the Scoping Consultation is to provide early engagement in the plan-making process by seeking views on what the new Local Plan should contain, where future growth should be focussed, the evidence that we intend to prepare, and how people would like to be engaged as the Plan progresses. A background document will be available to view alongside an associated survey to respond to from Monday 20 July. Further details will be published on our website www.north-norfolk.gov.uk/localplanreview from Monday 20 July.

    In tandem with the Scoping Consultation, we will also be running a second round of ‘Call for Sites’. The Call for Sites provides an opportunity for individuals and organisations to suggest land that could be considered for a range of uses, including housing, employment, infrastructure, open space or community uses.

    This is Hoveton Community Council’s response to the scoping consultation: HCC-response-to-LP-update-August-2026

  • Notice of Vacancy

  • Vacancy Filled! Hoveton Community Council has a New Clerk

    My name is Alison and I’m delighted to say I’ve recently taken on the role of Clerk for the Community Council of Hoveton. I’m already getting to know how things work and am really looking forward to supporting both the council and the wider community.
    I’ll be working closely with councillors and residents to help keep things running smoothly, so if there’s anything you’d like to raise, suggest, or ask about, don’t hesitate to contact me. I’ll do my best to help or point you in the right direction.  You can contact me by email: clerk@hoveton-cc.gov.uk
    I am looking forward to meeting many of you over the coming weeks, perhaps at the Annual Parish Meeting on 25th April at the Village Hall, or one of the council’s regular meetings where all residents are very welcome. The next monthly meeting is on Monday 13th April at 6.45pm please note the later date due to the Easter Bank holidays.
    Do also keep an eye on HCC’s website and Facebook page as there will be information on the final stages of consultation for our Neighbourhood Plan coming soon.
    Remember, everyone is welcome at our council meetings, they are public meetings which means you can raise questions or ask about issues on the agenda during the Public Speaking time.  If you would like to have something discussed by the council please ask me at least two weeks before the next full council meeting.  I can advice if it is within HCC’s remit and add to the agenda if appropriate.  Please note, the council meetings are primarliy to make decisions on coucnil matters so if your issue does not require a council decision, or it is for another council or organisation to deal with, it will not be added to the agenda.

  • BROOKE PARK PHASE TWO – UPDATE

    The North Norfolk Local Plan will likely be adopted this month (December 2025) and therefore it is highly likely that the site we know as Brooke Park Phase Two will be developed. To reiterate, the Council has opposed these plans at every stage.

    The exhibition hosted by FW Properties (the developer of the site) was well attended and the Council is grateful to those who came to see what is being planned.

    There is currently an opportunity to share your thoughts with the developer and possibly influence their plans. The Council’s response is part of that, but residents can also have their say by completing the form here – https://www.ingletonwood.co.uk/hoveton-consultation-contact-form.php

    It is expected that the next step will be a formal planning submission by the developer. At that stage there will be a further opportunity to comment on the plans – this time directly to NNDC who are the planning authority.

    The feedback from the Community Council to the developer is available here – https://hoveton-cc.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/HCC-response-BP2.pdf
