Mr Stuart Wilson Thetford 21 Policy TH 28 Agree Mr Tom Gilbert- 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. Colin Armes D Tricker Norwich Road Estate residents Association Thetford 21 Policy TH 29 Comment Norwich Road Estate Residents Association Thetford 21 Policy TH 29 Comment 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.

Bryant's map therefore pre dates the first published Ordnance Survey maps of Norfolk' which did not appear until 1836-7. An earlier one inch to one mile map of Norfolk produced by Faden, may also show the Lane. However a copy of this particular map has not as yet been studied. The lane continues to be shown on successive OS maps into the 2O1 and 21st centuries. The OS map ofl9Ol shows the lane crossing over the railway line by means of a bridge although by the time of the OS Popular Edition (1920 22) the bridge must have been replaced as the railway is shown passing over the lane as it still does today. This latter map is more detailed and also shows the Cedar Row tree shelter belt. Whilst the Lane has at times probably been used as a farm track its importance as a walkway is indicated by its appearance on early maps such as that produced by Bryant. Noted. It is also likely that the boundaries of the lane were hedged, as they still are, although such detail is often regarded as minor and thus not shown on maps, as is often the case today. Hedgerow Protection It is of great importance that the hedgerows alongside Joe Blunts Lane are retained & preserved as a green barrier between existing and proposed developments, to ensure both environmental and social needs. Various means are available to achieve the preservation of hedgerows e.g.. designation as an ancient hedge; the Hedgerow Regulations 1997 or Important Hedge status. Precise dating of hedgerows is difficult unless they are actually marked on maps or documents from times past. It has been proposed that hedges can be dated by counting the number of species in a 27 metre section of hedge Noted. . In its simplest form each separate species would suggest an age of 100 years. This method however may well be better described as an indicator of the age of a hedge. Such a survey of the hedges along Joe Blunt's Lane may therefore able to give some indication of support for the belief that the hedges could pre date the enclosure of lands under Acts passed between 1740 and 1850. The existence of the lane in 1826 has already been established although it's actual origins are obviously even older. Whilst the Hedgerow Regulations of 1997 (now within the remit of defra) may preclude one (or possibly both) of those alongside Joe Blunt's Lane on the grounds that ‘hedges forming a boundary between agricultural and residential land are not specifically included', they contain much valuable information and advice on issues eg. Environmental Impact Assessments, that can be used to support the retention and preservation of the hedges along the lane. Noted. As to the consultation on the development of Thetford RE Jo Blunts lane Thetford I have been instructed by the committee of the Norwich Road Residents Association to make the following points regardingJo Blunts Lane 1 The lane should retain its rural feel 2There should be a minimum green space between the development and Jo Blunts Lane of at least lOm - 20 m not to include the hedge, Private gardens, Road Ways 3 The surface of the lane be Braden gravel, not Tarmac, 4 No lights are required 5 All trees and hedges be preserved, (this is a wild life haven) 6 The lane be taken over by the local authority 7 Houses adjacent to the lane be facing it, as on the Norwich Road Estate, and served by pathways, services from behind Please look at the Norwich Road Estate where it abuts Jo Blunts Lane, and take that as a model. 8 Please don't repeat the mistakes by building right up to the edge, as was made at Green Lane , where the lane was ruined. The proposed masterplan shows that for the most part, the land use of the north side of the route will be formal and semi-natural parkland. The trees and hedges along its route will be protected by TH2 - locally distinctive features of the landscape. Adoption is a subject for PPA but there is potential for NCC to adopt and maintain. Include some aspects in reasoned justification. Include some aspects in reasoned justification. Include some aspects in reasoned justification. Include reference to 'rural feel', 'appropriate surfacing' to policy. Add in appropriate place that dwellings should face Joe Blunt's Lane to mirror the existing development close by, Add that encroachment onto the lane will not be accepted. Add that lighting should be appropriate and energy efficient if needed. Add adoption to PPA issues to be discussed.
