Planning

On 1 December the Chairman attended two site meetings on behalf of the Parish Council the first was in Lower Bodham for the conversion of a barn to living accommodation and the second was a visit to the Wind Turbine site at Pond Farm. The wind turbine visit was accompanied by a coach tour around local villages to see the perceived effect the wind turbine would have on views throughout the area. Especially on Listed properties, on which great emphasis was placed. The proposal will probably come before NNDC Planning Committee in February 2012.

Heating oil security


Police are encouraging homeowners who have heating oil tanks to be aware of the latest security advice as the winter months and colder weather approaches.
The winter months generally see an increase in thefts of heating oil thefts and residents can take simple steps to help avoid becoming a victim of crime.
Norfolk Constabulary offers the following advice:
Position your oil tank to allow maximum view from your property – this may discourage passing thieves.
Use control switches to stop the flow of oil when the tank is not in use.
Use good quality padlocks, close shackle are often best, to secure your tank.
Buy an oil level gauge which will sound an alarm if the oil level in your tank suddenly drops or falls below a quarter full.
Use security lights to make the property a less attractive target for thieves.
Defensive planting helps reduce crime – thieves don’t want to force their way through or over a prickly hedge.
Additional security; a wooden or metal fence, trellis or wall can offer additional protection, although the tank must be accessible for the oil tanker driver.
