The local planning authority should insist that any new buildings<br />

comply with the most exacting standards available. The ‘Community<br />

Heat and Power Plant' sounds feasible but not if the Power Plant is<br />

the one that is proposed in the countryside north of the A11<br />

alongside the Mundford Road (ref. TH2 ).<br />

More information required about renewable technologies on every<br />

property.<br />

There is no local evidence for the <strong>TAAP</strong> to require houses to be<br />

built better than the building regulations in terms of energy.<br />

Note that as time goes by, the building regulations will become<br />

tighter in terms of energy efficiency. <strong>TAAP</strong> addresses water<br />

consumption. Commercial buildings are covered by the<br />

BREEAM policy. The power station referred to is subject to the<br />

usual planning application process. No further action.<br />

The building regulations will become tighter as time goes by in<br />

terms of energy efficiency. The Core Strategy also has policy<br />

DC14 which requires developments of 10 properties or more to<br />

provide 10% of their energy from renewables - how this is done<br />

depends on each scheme. No further action.<br />

The existing Breckland Council Offices can be used as an<br />

educational establishment - no not take our riverside away from us. Riverside area unlikely to be needed for education. No further action.<br />

St Edmundsbury Borough Council is aware that West Suffolk College<br />

in Bury St Edmunds provides further and higher education<br />

opportunities for Thetford, including providing limited facilities in the<br />

town itself. However, given the level of growth proposed for<br />

Thetford, the Council is concerned that there will be considerable<br />

demand for courses at the Bury St Edmunds Campus. This is likely<br />

to create additional trips on the A134 between Thetford and Bury St<br />

Edmunds at peak times and increase congestion in villages and at<br />

key junctions, including the junction between the A134 and the A14<br />

at Bury St Edmunds. The Borough Council can find no evidence, in<br />

the AAP or supporting studies, of proposed measures to address the<br />

wider impact of this growth. It is considered that the Thetford<br />

Transport Study (December 2008) is not sufficiently strategic enough<br />

and does not have regard to the potential impact of such levels of<br />

growth on the wider sub-region.<br />

These shops, which will be fairly large, along with close proximity to<br />

Tesco, will detract new residents from coming into the existing town<br />

centre. With all these facilities in the Urban Extension, it amounts to<br />

a new town. Why will these new residents need to come into<br />

Thetford?<br />

I note that on the 2008 I and O consultation, 67% of responses<br />

asked for the schools to stay where they are! Are resident's views<br />

really taken into consideration? Will the N and S Academy buildings<br />

be demolished for yet more housing?<br />

Late representation. Comments noted. Education provision is<br />

being improved in Thetford through the Academy, which<br />

involves the colleges in the area. Public transport review would<br />

include bus provision to Bury St Edmunds. There is an updated<br />

transport study completed in 2010.<br />

Late representation. Comments<br />

noted.<br />

Walking and Cycling routes will be improved and so will buses.<br />

Town centre will also be regenerated. Education approach is<br />

that the academy will all be in one place, to north preferred and<br />

only real deliverable option. No further action.<br />

The academy has set itself up over two sites, as a response to<br />

operational issues, there are benefits for location on a single<br />

site. Current thinking is to direct secondary education to the<br />

north of the town. Plans for the former Charles Burrell have not<br />

been considered yet. Pass on <strong>comments</strong> to NCC.
