MINUTES
The Minutes of the meeting of Full Council held on 14 December 2011 and the extraordinary
meeting of the Council held on 11 January 2012 were approved as correct records, after the
following drafting amendment:
11 January 2012, Minute 105, Items of Urgent Business: The first item should read:
“Ms V R Gay to replace Mr P W High as a substitute on the Overview and Scrutiny
Committee and Mr P W High to replace Ms V R Gay on the Planning Policy and Built
Heritage Working Party
This matter was urgent because if the changes weren't formalised until the next scheduled
meeting of Full Council on 22 February 2012 it would potentially prevent Ms Gay from
substituting at 3 meetings of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee (25 January, 31
January and 15 February 2012) and Mr High from being a Member of the Planning Policy
and Built Heritage Working Party on 20 February 2012.
RESOLVED
1. That Ms V R Gay replaces Mr P W High as a substitute on the Overview and Scrutiny
Committee.
2. That Mr P W High replaces Ms V R Gay on the Planning Policy and Built Heritage
Working Party.”
111.
ITEMS OF URGENT BUSINESS
None received.
112.
PUBLIC QUESTIONS
Questions had been received from Mrs G Lisher, Mr S Eastwood and Mr N Lee. The questions
concerned car park charges. Mr Lee also presented a petition with 1327 signatures on behalf
of North Walsham Chamber of Trade.
The Chairman advised that, although the questions would be taken, there would be no right of
reply as the subject was not on the agenda. However the views of the speakers would be
noted and taken into account.

BUDGET AND COUNCIL TAX SETTING 2012/2013
The report was introduced by the Portfolio Holder, Mr W J Northam. His speech is attached at
Minutes Appendix A.
The Portfolio Holder added a recommendation, not contained in the report, to allow for a
£42,000 virement to be made from within the capital budget from the BPR EDM (Business
Process Re-engineering – Electronic Data Management) budget to the Sheringham East
promenade public conveniences budget to allow for this scheme to be completed.
The Leader seconded the recommendations. She told Council that the Cabinet had
established their priorities including regeneration plans for North Walsham, establishing a Big
Society Fund, investing in the Pier and tackling issues such as long-term empty properties.
Localism was at the heart of the Cabinet’s aims.

22 February 2012
BUDGET AND COUNCIL TAX SETTING 2012/2013
(Continued)
The Car Park Charges, which had been the subject of public questions at the beginning of the
meeting, had been to Cabinet on 28 November 2011, Overview and Scrutiny on 13 December
2011 and agreed by Full Council on 14 December 2011. A statutory parking order had been
published. Any objections would be considered by officers and Cabinet when the statutory
period had ended. Cabinet would also be holding further discussion regarding the free car
parks.
The Leader of the Opposition, Ms V R Gay, said that her Group did not support the proposed
budget and would be voting against it, considering the increase in car parking charges to be
unnecessary and potentially detrimental to business and tourism. There was no provision in
the budget for pay increases for staff, for youth projects or for green business. Mr R Smith also
expressed concern that the budget didn’t include any help for young people, especially since
Norfolk County Council had severely cut their provision for youth.
Mr P W Moore supported Ms Gay. He said that he was pleased that Cabinet would be having
further discussion regarding the free car parks and expressed concern that their abolition
would mean that workers would use prime town centre car parks and that there would be
nowhere for shoppers to park. Mr G R Jones also expressed concern about the impact
increased charges could have on residents.
Mr M J M Baker said that he was happy that there was no increase in the Council Tax but
expressed concern about the effects on business and tourism. Responding to a question from
Mr Baker the Leader undertook to ascertain the current amount of Council Tax arrears and the
plans for recovery and to report back to him.
The Chair of Overview and Scrutiny, Mr E Seward, told the meeting that not all the
recommendations before them had been fully supported by the Overview and Scrutiny
Committee. The investment in North Walsham was welcomed but the petition presented by
the Chamber of Trade at the beginning of the meeting asking for reconsideration of the car
park charges should be taken into account. He welcomed the news that the matter of the free
car parks was to be re-discussed. As a local Member, Mr Seward had received representation
from the Principal of Paston College who, together with some of the students, would welcome
the opportunity to engage with the Council.
In response to a question from Mr G R Jones the Acting Financial Services Manager
explained that there had been no increase in income from the district element of the Collection
Fund assumed for the next 3 years as a result of any increases in the level of new homes.
This was however a prudent approach as an increase in new homes would not necessarily
result in increased income from the Collection Fund due to various issues such as the transfer
of properties from council tax to business rates and the various discount schemes.
RESOLVED
That having considered the Chief Financial Officer’s report on the robustness of the estimates
and the adequacy of the proposed financial reserves, the following be approved:
a) The General Fund Revenue Budget for 2012/13;
b) to allow for a £42,000 virement to be made from within the capital budget from the BPR
EDM (Business Process Re-engineering – Electronic Data Management) budget to the
Sheringham East promenade public conveniences budget to allow for this scheme to
be completed.
c) The Policy Framework for the Earmarked Reserves and the Optimum Level of the
General Reserve 2012/13 to 2015/16 (Appendix D);

f)
It was NOTED;
that at its meeting on 14 December 2011, Full Council calculated the following Council Tax
bases for the year 2012/13 in accordance with regulations made under Section 33(5) of
the Local Government Finance Act 1992: a) 41,366 being calculated by the Council, in accordance with Regulation 3 of the Local
Authorities (Calculation of Council Tax Base) Regulations 1992, as its Council Tax
base for the year;
It was further RESOLVED;
That members undertake the council tax and statutory calculations set out at section 4,
and set the Council Tax for 2012/13: b)

RECOMMENDATIONS FROM CABINET 6 FEBRUARY 2012
a) ITEM 8: TREASURY MANAGEMENT STRATEGY STATEMENT AND INVESTMENT
STRATEGY 2012/13 TO 2014/15
The preparation of the Strategy Statement was necessary to comply with the Chartered
Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy’s Code of Practice for Treasury Management
in Public Services. The Code had been revised in November 2011 and this Strategy
Statement incorporated the changes which had been made. The prime objective of the
Treasury Management Strategy was to ensure the security of the Council’s investments.
RESOLVED
(a) The Treasury Management Strategy Statement and Investment Strategy and
Prudential Indicators, for 2012/13 to 2014/15, are approved.
(b) The revised Treasury Management Policy Statement is approved.
b) ITEM 9: 2012/13 BASE BUDGET AND PROJECTIONS FOR 2013/14 TO 2015/16
RESOLVED
a) The 2012/13 revenue account budget as outlined at Appendix F and that the surplus of
£87,975 be allocated to the Restructuring Proposals reserve;

b) The demand on the Collection Find will be subject to any amendments as a result of
final precepts;
(i) £5,789,172 for District purposes;
(ii)
£1,561,174 (subject to confirmation of one final precept) for Parish/Town precepts;
c) The movement on the reserves as detailed at Appendix I;
d) The updated Capital Programme and it’s financing for 2011/12 to 2014/15 as detailed at
Appendix J and as contained within the report along with the authority to negotiate for the
purchase of a new waste vehicle;
e) The new capital bids as detailed at Appendix K;
f) That Members note the current projections for 2013/14 to 2015/16.
c) ITEM 10: CORPORATE PLAN: ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 2012/13 DRAFT FOR
CONSULTATION
This item had been withdrawn.
d) ITEM 11: NORTH NORFOLK BIG SOCIETY FUND – PROPOSED OPERATIONAL
FRAMEWORK
The group had met and made good progress. A bi-annual, rather than an annual, report
would be produced. This had been suggested by Ms V R Gay at the Overview and
Scrutiny Committee on 31 January 2012. The Overview and Scrutiny Committee
welcomed the opportunity of being involved in agreeing the criteria for applications to the
Fund. It was important that there should be a system in place to support community groups
so that they had the confidence to source funding for themselves.
RESOLVED
1. That Council formally establishes the Fund to be launched on 2 April 2012 and
appoints Members to sit on a politically balanced Big Society Board to act as the grant
giving panel.
2. That Mrs H Eales, Mr P W High, Mr T Ivory, Mr B Jarvis and Mr J A Wyatt be appointed
to the Big Society Board.
3. To require that the annual report will be produced bi-annually summarising how
resources have been applied through the Fund and the outcomes achieved.
4. To agree a three month extension to Voluntary Norfolk’s existing contract.
121.
PAY POLICY STATEMENT
The Pay Policy Statement was required to enable the Council to satisfy the requirements of
section 38 of the Localism Act 2011 which required that authorities must prepare a statement
for the financial year 2012/13 and for each subsequent financial year.
The statement set out current remuneration arrangements and was not a change to existing
policies or practices.
RESOLVED
to approve the pay policy statement for 2012/13 as required by section 38 of the Localism Act
2011.

DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE, APPLICATION PF/09/1270
The report related to an appeal against refusal of application for planning permission for an
underground cable route from Weybourne to Great Ryburgh, to link the proposed Dudgeon
Offshore Windfarm to the national transmission network.
The permission was one of a number of consents or agreements required for the project. The
windfarm was a nationally significant infrastructure project and would be located about 30
kilometres off the North Norfolk coast. The windfarm (turbines) and cable offshore required
consents from Government (Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) and
Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA)).
To connect to the national transmission network the developers had made 3 applications for
planning permission:
•
Full Council
An application to North Norfolk District Council (Reference PF/09/1270) for an
underground cable from the landfall to the boundary with Breckland district. That
application is the subject of this appeal;

DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE, APPLICATION PF/09/1270
•
•
(Continued)
An application to Breckland Council (Reference 3PL/2009/1189/F) for an underground
cable from the boundary with North Norfolk district to a substation site. Planning
permission was granted by a notice of decision dated 11 October 2010;
An application to Breckland Council (Reference 3PL/2009/1188/O) for a substation.
That application was refused and rejected on appeal. It is currently the subject of an
application to the High Court.
This legal challenge would be heard on 23 March. If the developer won, the appeal would be
remitted to the Secretaries of State for redetermination. The application to NNDC has been
considered by the Development Committee several times from July 2010 to January of this
year. The application had been consistently recommended for approval by Officers.
On 12 January Development Committee considered the application. A proposal to approve
was put to the vote and lost by 3 votes to 9. It was then proposed and resolved by 7 votes to
5 that the application be refused. The grounds were:
• detrimental impact on the landscape
• detrimental impact on the local agricultural economy.
A refusal notice was issued and the applicant company had appealed. The Applicant had
asked for a public inquiry (quasi-judicial tribunal where evidence is given in written proofs of
evidence and subject to cross-examination). The Applicant’s solicitors hoped to have the
inquiry commenced in week beginning 1 May 2012. Their estimate was 6 days for the inquiry.
Normally in these circumstances, the Council would consider appointing external professional
witnesses to support the reasons for refusal. The Planning Officers were unable to do this,
having consistently recommended approval of the application. Based on the cost of other
appeals it was estimated that this might cost up to £100,000. Counsel had endorsed this as a
reasonable estimate. The decision to refuse the application made by the Development
Committee was taken after virtually all work on the Budget for 2012/13 had been done so there
was no budgetary provision for the appeal.
The Development Committee had no budget to defend appeals. The Planning division had a
relatively small Budget to pay for external advice (usually legal advice, and retail assessments
when there were applications for supermarkets). This was currently overspent.
The Council’s own costs might not be the only financial implication. It was open to the
appellants to seek an award of costs against the Council on the grounds of unreasonable
behaviour if the Council was unable to substantiate its reasons for refusal. This was a potential
financial risk, so provision had to be made for a contingent liability. The appellants would
instruct a Q.C. for the inquiry and their potential costs were estimated to be not less than the
£100,000.
Members were reminded that they were making a decision about the financial implications and
not discussing the application itself.
The Leader said that although the independence of the Development Committee must be
respected, Members must also consider the impact on the Council Tax. She proposed that
funds should not be made available for the appeal. This was seconded by Mr T FitzPatrick
who reserved the right to speak before the end of the debate. Mr E Seward supported the
proposal, believing that release of the funds could not be justified as the prospect of success
for the Council was unlikely. Mr R Wright said that any decision to go against officer

(Continued)
recommendations needed to be carefully thought out. Mr T Ivory considered that the appeal
would cost more than the officer’s estimate.
Mr M J M Baker expressed concern that democracy might be compromised for financial
reasons and Mr G R Jones warned of the danger of setting precedents. Mr P Terrington
supported the latter speakers and urged that money should be ring-fenced for the appeal. In
reply to a question from Mr Baker the Chief Executive said that although money could be taken
out of reserves it would have to be replaced at some point in the future.
RESOLVED
that funds should not be made available for the appeal.
Mrs A M Moore and Mr P W Moore abstained from voting.
The meeting concluded at 7.50 pm.
