As we previously stated in our representation to the Preferred Options Plan, the focus of the Local Liaison group was on operational issues only and was not intended to consider wider issues.
The Local Liaison Group was active a few years ago for Whitlingham WRC to discuss matters including odour. However, the group has not been active for some time, and we consider that this text is out of date and should be removed from the Local Plan. Should there prove to be a need for a liaison group to be re-established in the future then we will work proactively with Norfolk County Council, relevant stakeholders, and the local community to discuss any concerns regarding our site.
We work to engage stakeholders through the development of our plans and strategies, including our emerging Drainage and Wastewater Management Plan (DWMP). Furthermore, development that requires planning permission, has a statutory consultation process whereby the local communities are informed of planned works. As we have indicated through our proposed modification to paragraph W3.2, the Plan should indicate that the General Permitted Development Order (2015) provides a wide range of permitted development rights on our operational land.
We consider the text regarding the Local Liaison Group is out of date and should be removed from the Local Plan.
