Update, 1 May 2023

More than fifty people attended the meeting at the Village Hall on Friday, and the overwhelming sentiment seemed to be against the Lanpro proposal. The committee, comprising seven members, was formed. Afterwards the meeting turned into an enjoyable social event amounting almost to a party, thanks to the wine, etc. and gourmet treats generously provided by Jo and Mark Cutmore-Scott of The Harper.

One of the new members unfortunately had to stand down, for personal reasons, before the first meeting.

The committee held its first meeting today, 1 May, with Louise Goodenough as elected Chair. The present members are:

Louise Goodenough

Jonathan Barnes

Frank Blundell

Laura Osborne

Adam Pitchford

Fiona Priest

Don’t forget, this is an enterprise involving everyone who wants to be involved. We will keep you updated via this blog, and if you have any information or other assistance to offer us, we would love to hear from you. The contact details are on the sidebar.

We learned tonight that NNDC has rejected the pre-planning application for the land opposite The Rectory. You can read the Senior Planning Officer’s response here. This greatly reduces the chance that the Binham Road/North Street proposal will get anywhere, but we are still assuming an application for it will be made and have not relaxed our efforts.
