Wooldridge English Heritage Cambridge 21 Policy TH 28 Comment
Mrs L Brightman Thetford 21 Policy TH 28 Agree
Agree, but would add that the allotment sites should be in close
proximity to the residents.
We welcome the recognition given to avoiding archaeologically
sensitive sites. This requirement could equally apply to Policy TH3. Support noted.
Allotments are an excellent idea, we need more allotments and this
plan should also include new plots in Ramsey Close.
Support noted. This is covered by criterion b - is well related to
new and/or existing residential areas and criterion d - has good
access by foot and cycle. No further action.
Consider inclusion of such a caveat
in TH3.
Support noted. Ramsey Close issue is one outside of planning
policy. Breckland Council listens to and supports its local
communities. During consultation we received a number of
responses regarding the play area at Ramsay Close in Thetford.
Having listened to Thetford Town Council and local residents,
Breckland Council has undertaken to write to Thetford Town
Council and formally begin the process of transferring the land to
the town with the existing restrictive covenants in place.
Breckland Council is proud of its asset management strategy
and through its Active Land Management programme all pieces
of land that the Council owns are reviewed on an ongoing basis
to ensure that the Council achieves best value from its assets
for all residents in Breckland. No further action.
Mrs Patricia Poel Thetford 21 Policy TH 28 Agree Support noted. No further action.

Further to our previous observations we would like to include that
contractors v vehicles be banned from using Joe Blunts Lane and a
notice to that effect be put at both ends of the lane . Late representation. Comments noted.
Location and Course Joe Blunts Lane starts on the western side of
the old Norwich Road approximately 50 metres south west of the
Kilverstone Lane junction and continues north west, passing under
the Thetford to Norwich railway line, for a distance of approximately
1150 metres until it reaches the Croxton Road at a point beside the
North Campus of Thetford Academy. The northern side of the lane
between Norwich Road and the railway bridge is also known as
Cedar Row due to the tree shelter belt growing alongside. Origins
and Existence Whilst the precise origins of the lane are unknown it is
notable that throughout its length it follows the course of an ancient
parish boundary between Croxton and what in past years, was
known as the parish of Thetford St. Peters.
Late representation. Comments
noted.
Parish boundaries are often inherited from land holdings that date
back many hundreds of years (possibly to the middle Saxon period or
earlier) which suggests that Joe Blunts Lane may also have been in
existence for some considerable length of time. Lanes such as this
often followed field boundaries (some hedged) as Joe Blunts Lane
still does today, with the fields of Blakeney Farm on its northern side.
The fields on its southern side (once part of Folly Farm) disappeared
under the urban development in the late I 960s and early I 970s that
saw the building of estates such as the Norwich Road housing
estate. The lane is shown as being in existence on an early printed
map of 1826 published by Andrew Bryant as is the parish boundary
running along its length. Noted. No further action.
