Kay Mason-Billig our councillor is happy to answer any questions if residents have any, and also available to assist with their county issues, and her contact details are kay.masonbillig.cllr@norfolk.gov.uk

The VCHAP has moved to the next stage of the process which is the Examination by the Planning Inspector. There is an opportunity to speak at the hearing if you would like to, with a deadline of 31st Oct.
Anyone who previously submitted written comments (objections) on the VCHAP during the consultation will have been contacted directly and asked if they want to speak at the Examination hearing in January and, if they wish to attend, they must confirm the Matter and cluster on which they wish to speak by 31 October. The Inspector will take into account the written comments previously submitted in his examination and will give these equal consideration
