Thetford healthy<br />

town programme Thetford 16 Policy TH 19 Disagree<br />

A new policy is required to the effect that; Secure steps will be<br />

required prior to any development in the SUE to ensure that support<br />

is provided for community development and liason appropriate to the<br />

phase of development and that sustained and adequate<br />

management structures in place REASONS It is widely recognised<br />

that new communities face significant issues is the early periods of<br />

development in relation for instance to access to services, isolation<br />

and lack of knowledge about the local situation. This can lead to<br />

adverse effects on mental wellbeing in particular that can be very<br />

severe. It is essential that adequate steps are taken to offer the<br />

fullest support to new residents. The scope of this will range from<br />

activities to simply providing information. Such support should be<br />

responsive and tailored to needs and be sustained until such time as<br />

the community has matured. Community coherence and capacity<br />

together with wellbeing will mean that the SUE will be more likely to<br />

be a success both commercially and as a place to live and enable it<br />

to contribute to the community in Thetford as a whole.<br />

Mrs Patricia Poel Thetford 16 Policy TH 19 Comment until academy is built - who can say what will be used?<br />

Mr Ed Chambers<br />

Agree with sentiment. Unsure if best place is in the <strong>TAAP</strong> or<br />

part of the PPA when dealing with the planning application.<br />

Partners being resourced ready for the development is raised in<br />

the accompanying Commitments Paper.<br />

Public usage of the school facilities is indeed down to the school<br />

governors, but the current schools in the town do hire their<br />

facilities out to the public as it is a valuable revenue in come.<br />

Having said that, the policy does not shut the door on<br />

community centres, as long as they meet certain criteria.<br />

Improve section on community<br />

integration to take on board rep.<br />

Raise at PPA. Commitments paper<br />

issue.<br />

Raise issue with NCC to ensure<br />

early consideration to this issue is<br />

given.<br />

Mr Stuart Wilson Thetford 16 Policy TH 20 Comment<br />

We would suggest that Policies TH18 Health Provision, TH19<br />

Community Buildings and Policy TH 20 New Bring Recycling Centres<br />

are town wide policies, particularly TH20 if the intention is to reduce<br />

waste to landfill and encourage recycling. Such uses (policies) could<br />

be merged with Policy TH14 as suitable uses within a Local Centre. Specific to urban extension. Retrofit on case by case basis No further action.<br />

The provisions for waste and recycling infrastructure within the AAP<br />

are limited. While Policy TH20 ‘New Bring Recycling Centres'<br />

acknowledges the expectation that new bring recycling facilities<br />

should be provided as part of the Thetford Urban Extension to help<br />

divert waste from landfill, this alone will not adequately address the<br />

waste and recycling infrastructure requirement. Given that Bring<br />

Recycling Facilities only handle a small range of materials, there is a<br />

need to improve existing infrastructure to handle bulky and/or excess<br />

materials that would otherwise not be collected as part of a kerbside<br />

recycling scheme. Infrastructure for these types of household<br />

materials in Norfolk takes the form of Recycling Centres (Civic<br />

Amenity sites).<br />

The current Recycling Centre in Thetford is one of the smallest in the<br />

County and therefore inadequate given the proposed growth of the<br />

Town. The County Council is committed to funding a new<br />

replacement Recycling Centre for Thetford, which will be capable of<br />

handling the additional waste arising from the Thetford Urban<br />

Extension. The new Recycling Centre is programmed to open in<br />

summer 2012. Although there will be no developer contributions<br />

towards this improved infrastructure, it should be acknowledged<br />

within the plan that there is a need for the new Recycling Centre, and<br />

also that the County Council is committed to providing one.<br />

We support this but request that it is properly managed. The<br />

recycling facility at Sainsbury's is properly managed but the one at<br />

Tesco's was not and has been closed down. Agree.<br />

I support this but request that it is properly managed. The recycling<br />

facility at Sainsbury's is properly managed and functions but the one<br />

at Tesco's was not and has been closed down. Agree.<br />

Mrs Patricia Poel Thetford 16 Policy TH 20 Comment Minimal disruption? What about rodent contamination?<br />

Agree.<br />

Add section on Recycling Centre as<br />

per comment.<br />

Not aware of this as an issue around such uses. This policy is<br />

about trying to increase recycling rates. No further action.<br />

Add reference to management of the<br />

facility to this section.<br />
