• Draft Local Plan Consultation

    As local residents will likely be aware, North Norfolk District Council (NNDC) is currently producing a new Local Plan which will guide development in North Norfolk up to 2036. A six-week consultation period on the Local Plan is due to take place soon (from Tuesday 7th May to Wednesday 19th June 2019), giving local residents, businesses and organisations an opportunity to consider the content of the First Draft Local Plan and to let the district council know if any changes are considered necessary. Further information can be found in the Notice Of Draft Local Plan Consultation.

    During this consultation period, a drop-in event will be held at which proposals outlined in the Draft Local Plan may be discussed with district council planning officers. This event is due to take place on Thursday 23rd May, 2.30pm to 7.30pm, at the Broadland Youth & Community Centre, Stalham Road, NR12 8DJ.

    North Norfolk District Council is keen to receive all feedback on the First Draft Local Plan, whether local residents object to or support an element of the plan or simply wish to make general comments. From Tuesday 7th May, comments can be submitted to NNDC via http://consult.north-norfolk.gov.uk/portal. In the meantime, further information about the First Draft Local Plan can be found at www.north-norfolk.gov.uk/localplan.

    Hoveton Parish Council will consider the content of the First Draft Local Plan during the advertised consultation period, and will provide feedback to North Norfolk District Council as part of the consultation process. Though your Parish Council endeavours to keep local residents updated on all matters relating to the Local Plan, residents are asked to please note that Hoveton Parish Council is not a planning authority, but is merely a consultee in terms of planning matters. Your Parish Council has not been formally consulted on the First Draft Local Plan by North Norfolk District Council and it has not had input into any decisions taken by the district council in relation to the Local Plan.

  • Christmas Lights 2019

    Though it may seem a little early in the year to be thinking about Christmas, 25th December will no doubt arrive far sooner than expected, and planning ahead is a must when it comes to organising celebrations for the festive period.

    HPC was recently contacted by a local resident who would like to see a more extensive display of Christmas lights this year across the villages of Hoveton and Wroxham. The resident is keen to get involved in organising this year’s lights, but they can’t do this alone, so local volunteers are currently being sought to form a Christmas Lights committee to raise funds for new lights and make the necessary arrangements. If you’d like to get involved and help bring a little extra sparkle to Hoveton’s Christmas, please get in touch!

  • St Benet’s Abbey Celebrations

    Anyone with a keen interest in local history will be interested to learn that The Friends of St Benet’s Abbey and Parrabbola are currently busy creating a performance to mark 1000 years since King Canute granted land and property to establish St Benet’s Abbey. This will be a community play (theatre made of the people, by the people, for the people) and it will take place in the summer of 2019 at the site of the St Benet’s Abbey ruins.

    Brian Abbott is researching and writing the play for Parrabbola and he’d like to hear local stories about St Benet’s Abbey, as well as personal memories or thoughts about the site. Questionnaires have been made available to more than 2000 local residents, asking for stories and offering the chance to be involved in the play. If you’d like to take part in this project, or to find out more about the anniversary celebrations, contact The Friends of St Benet’s Abbey ([email protected]) or Parrabbola ([email protected]).
