Site Allocations (Villages) - North Norfolk District Council

180North Norfolk Site Allocations14 Monitoring & Implementation14.0.1 The successful implementation of the allocations made in this document is dependant uponthe timely delivery of the infrastructure required to support it. In North Norfolk, keyinfrastructure constraints include poor public transport, ageing sewage disposal networksand limited treatment works capacity, energy supply, education and health provision. Localsurface water drainage issues arise in a number of locations across the district.14.0.2 The issues raised by infrastructure providers were taken into account in the developmentof the Core Strategy and were influential in determining an appropriate scale of growth ineach place and when this growth may occur. Additional information has since been received,notably following the findings of the water quality Review of Consents process and theWater Framework Directive. In developing the allocations made in this Plan, the Councilhas identified infrastructure constraints, and the policies attached to each of the allocationsidentify where these will need to be addressed before development can occur.14.0.3 This section summarises the current position regarding key infrastructure. Table 14.1'Monitoring of Site Allocations' identifies the targets to be monitored on each of theallocations.Water Supply14.0.4 Anglian Water has a statutory obligation to meet the growth for North Norfolk and is workingon a 25 year plan to improve water supply in Norfolk. With the exception of a small area tothe south east of the district which is served by the Broads, North Norfolk's water resourcesare entirely dependent on the North Norfolk Coast Cromer Ridge chalk aquifer. Currentlybore hole levels are about 70% full which is adequate.14.0.5 To serve new development, developers make a formal request to Anglian Water for watersupply to be provided to new properties and then pay the difference between the cost ofthe scheme and the income that Anglian Water expect to receive from water rates over a12 year period. Anglian Water has indicated that the water supply networks have capacityavailable, and therefore no constraints are anticipated.14.0.6 A large part of the district is in an area identified in the Environment Agency North NorfolkCatchment Abstraction Management Strategy as having no water available for further waterabstraction licencing. All allocations made in this document are therefore subject to astandard requirement (Core Strategy Policy EN6) to minimise water consumption.Foul Sewerage Networks14.0.7 Anglian Water has indicated that there is either limited, or no, spare capacity in the foulsewerage networks for all of the main settlements. Therefore this constraint will need to beovercome before development can proceed. Typically developers will be expected tocontribute to funding upgrades to the existing network or provide new network connectionsto Sewage Treatment Works (STWs) to adoptable standards.
