31.Informative Advisory Note: Construction Phase - Good Practice Advice:- The site will potentially generate a significant amount of dust during the construction process; therefore, the following measures should be employed: - - An adequate supply of water shall be available for suppressing dust; - Mechanical cutting equipment with integral dust suppression should be used; - There shall be no burning of any materials on site.
32.Informative Advisory Note: Construction Noise:- The applicant is strongly recommended to advise neighbouring businesses and residential occupiers of the proposals, including any periods of potentially significant disturbance e.g. demolition or piling, together with contact details in the event of problems.
33.Informative Advisory Note: Contaminated Land Advisory Note:- The responsibility for the safe development and secure occupancy of the site rests with the developer. The local planning authority has determined the application on the basis of the information available to it, but this does not mean that the land is free from contamination, or that the land could not be declared Contaminated Land in future.
34.Informative Advisory Note: Street Naming and Numbering:- Great Yarmouth Borough Council has a duty to ensure that roads and streets within the Borough are properly named and that the properties fronting onto them are appropriately numbered. Therefore, it is essential that once detailed planning permission has been granted, and prior to the completion of development, the developer/owner applies for an official address. This Authority has adopted the legislation set out in sections 17, 18 and 19 of The Public Health Act 1925. In common with most neighbouring local authorities, Great Yarmouth Borough Council charges for the street naming and numbering of new developments. Charges and more information can be seen on the Council's website here: https://www.great-yarmouth.gov.uk/street-naming-numbering
35.Informative Advisory Note: Wildlife Protection:- The applicant is reminded that, under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, as amended (section 1), it is an offence to remove, damage or destroy the nest of any wild bird while the nest is in use or being built. Planning consent for a development does not provide a defence against prosecution under this act. While trees and scrub are likely to contain nesting birds between 1st March and 31st August inclusive buildings can also support nesting birds. If works occur during the nesting period a careful check of the building by a competent ecologist should be undertaken to assess the nesting bird activity on the site during this period and has shown it is absolutely certain that nesting birds are not present.
36.Informative Advisory Note: Fire Officer Advice:- Requirement B5: Access and facilities for the fire service - These sections deal with the following requirement from Part B of Schedule 1 to the Building Regulations 2010: Access and facilities for the fire service B5. (1) The building shall be designed and constructed so as to provide reasonable facilities to assist fire fighters in the protection of life. (2) Reasonable provision shall be made within the site of the building to enable fire appliances to gain access to the building. Intention - Provisions covering access and facilities for the fire service are to safeguard the health and safety of people in and around the building. Their extent depends on the size and use of the building. Most firefighting is carried out within the building. In the Secretary of State's view, requirement B5 is met by achieving all of the following: a. External access enabling fire appliances to be used near the building. b. Access into and within the building for firefighting personnel to both: i. search for and rescue people ii. fight fire c. Provision for internal fire facilities for firefighters to complete their tasks. d. Ventilation of heat and smoke from a fire in a basement. e. A facility to store building information for firefighters to complete their tasks. If an alternative approach is taken to providing the means of escape, outside the scope of this approved document, additional provisions for firefighting access may be required. Where deviating from the general guidance, it is advisable to seek advice from the fire and rescue service as early as possible (even if there is no statutory duty to consult). Water supplies for firefighting should be in accordance with ADB Vol 2, Sec 16 and "National Guidance Document on the Provision for Fire Fighting" published by Local Government Association and Water UK: https://www.water.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/national-guidance-document-onwater-for-ffg-final.pdf For further information please contact the NFRS Water Office at the address given above or by email on FireWaterOfficer@norfolk.gov.uk
37.Informative Advisory Note: Anglian Water Advice:- Notification of intention to connect to the public sewer under S106 of the Water Industry Act Approval and consent will be required by Anglian Water, under the Water Industry Act 1991. Contact Development Services Team 0345 606 6087. Protection of existing assets - A public sewer is shown on record plans within the land identified for the proposed development. It appears that development proposals will affect existing public sewers. It is recommended that the applicant contacts Anglian Water Development Services Team for further advice on this matter. Building over existing public sewers will not be permitted (without agreement) from Anglian Water. No building will be permitted within the statutory easement width of 3 metres from the pipeline without agreement from Anglian Water. Please contact Development Services Team on 0345 606 6087. The developer should note that the site drainage details submitted have not been approved for the purposes of adoption. If the developer wishes to have the sewers included in a sewer adoption agreement with Anglian Water (under Sections 104 of the Water Industry Act 1991), they should contact our Development Services Team on 0345 606 6087 at the earliest opportunity. Sewers intended for adoption should be designed and constructed in accordance with Sewers for Adoption guide for developers, as supplemented by Anglian Water's requirements. The preferred method of surface water disposal would be to a sustainable drainage system (SuDS) with connection to sewer seen as the last option. Building Regulations (part H) on Drainage and Waste Disposal for England includes a surface water drainage hierarchy, with infiltration on site as the preferred disposal option, followed by discharge to watercourse and then connection to a sewer.
38.Informative Advisory Note: Internal Drainage Board Advice:- The site is near to the Internal Drainage District (IDD) of the Waveney, Lower Yare and Lothingland Internal Drainage Board (IDB) and is within the Board's Watershed Catchment (meaning water from the site will eventually enter the IDD). Maps are available on the Board's webpages showing the Internal Drainage District (https://www.wlma.org.uk/uploads/WLYLIDB_Index_Map.pdf) as well as the wider watershed catchment (https://www.wlma.org.uk/uploads/WLYLIDB_Watershed.pdf). Initial testing shows that a drainage strategy reliant on infiltration is likely to be achievable on the proposed development. If for any reason a strategy wholly reliant on infiltration does not prove viable and a surface water discharge is proposed to a watercourse within the watershed catchment of the Board's IDD then we request that this be in line with the Non-Statutory technical standards for sustainable drainage systems (SuDS), specifically S2 and S4. It is recommended that the discharge from this site is attenuated to the Greenfield Runoff Rates wherever possible. The reason for this recommendation is to promote sustainable development within the Board's Watershed Catchment therefore ensuring that flood risk is not increased within the Internal Drainage District (required as per paragraph 167 of the National Planning Policy Framework). For further information regarding the Board's involvement in the planning process please see our Planning and Byelaw Strategy, available online.
39.Informative Advisory Note: Archaeology Investigations:- Condition 8 of this permission requires a programme of archaeological mitigatory work in accordance with National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Section 16: Conserving and enhancing the historic environment, paragraph 211. A brief for the archaeological work can be obtained from Norfolk County Council Environment Service historic environment specialist advice team. Please contact the Historic Environment Service on tel: 01362 869275.
40.NOTES - Please read the following notes carefully:- This permission is subject to and should be read in conjunction with an agreement dated the 19th August 2026 made pursuant to Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act.
