Site Allocations (Villages) - North Norfolk District Council

186North Norfolk Site Allocations14 Monitoring & Implementationapplicable to individual development sites. The following table (Table 14.1) shows a summaryof the allocations made, monitoring criteria (indicators), delivery targets, source of the target,and responsibility for implementation.14.0.45 Additional areas that may require monitoring include:Capacity of infrastructure in settlements; andcapacity of schools and their ability to accommodate children arising from thedevelopment proposed, particularly in Cromer where a site for future school expansionis allocated.14.0.46 In addition, the Appropriate Assessment (61) identified a number of mechanisms by whichnew development could impact on European Wildlife Sites and specified measures toensure that any actual adverse effect is avoided. These include a monitoring programmeto assess a baseline and therefore identify any change in visitation / disturbance impacton designated sites as a result of additional development. Whilst in most cases it is notconsidered that an adverse effect on the integrity of the site's interests is likely as a resultof the allocations, the monitoring is recommended due to the uncertain behaviour of futureresidents. This should enable a quick response to any impacts that have the potential tolead to an adverse effect on the integrity of international sites. The Appropriate Assessmentrecommends that monitoring programmes should be developed for:The North Norfolk Coast sites;The Broads / Broadland sites;Great Yarmouth North Denes; andWinterton-Horsey.14.0.47 This is relevant for allocations in all selected settlements except for Aldborough, Bacton,Mundesley, Overstrand and Roughton.14.0.48 The Council is committed to working in partnership with Natural England and adjoiningauthorities whose growth will also increase recreational and visitor pressure on these areas.The Council will publish further work on this matter.The Appropriate Assessment notes that early provision of open space associated with newdevelopments, or improvements to existing provision, will have some effect on limitingadditional pressure on designated sites (especially with regard to day-to-day use for dogwalking and other activities) and should be sought in all cases. Core Strategy policy requiresthe provision of public open space in all schemes of 10 or more dwellings and this shouldbe provided early in the development of a site to establish its use among residents andensure that this limiting effect on designated sites is realised. It is therefore important tomonitor provision to ensure that it is provided in a timely and appropriate manner.14.0.49 New development also has the potential to affect water quality through discharge ofincreased nutrient levels. The Appropriate Assessment identified that further considerationand possible assessment of water quality information arising from ongoing or commissionedstudies will be required to fully assess possible impacts on water quality in the catchmentof international sites. The Council has produced a Water Infrastructure Statement (March2010) which identifies particular constraints and relevant site policies requiring priordemonstration of adequate capacity before development can proceed.61 North Norfolk Site Specific Proposals Appropriate Assessment, Royal Haskoning April 2009 and February 2010
