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.
