- LDF Core Strategy and Response
We have to respond between the 18th and 30th July.
LDF says that Wells is unsustainable.
WTC have already agreed their comment. They are concerned
about the lack of industrial land.
Fi spoke to Polly Hind who said that there is no evidence
that the comments made last time have been taken into
consideration.
The comments from last time will not be carried forward
and comments have to proven against set criteria.
LDF hasn’t taken into consideration that Dorrington
House is about to produce 45 jobs for local people. Wells
Community Hospital has plans to provide 40 – 50
jobs over the next two years.
Local Authority has said that in 2012 it anticipates
the school role to be no lower than it is at present. Just
received Sports College status.
What about West Norfolk? Wells has a central position
on the Norfolk coast and shouldn’t not be considered
due to NNDC boundaries. Hospital catchment area set by
department of health, from Sheringham to Hunstanton.
LDF descriptions do not make sense, from a thriving
community to one that is relatively unsustainable.
Include in comment:

- Community wide survey update
Community consultation has taken place in both the
High School and Primary School. All pupils were given
a piece of brightly coloured card to draw around their
hand on. They then wrote their ideas for the community
inside their handprints.
Disposable cameras were handed out at this years Parish
fair and to some pupils from Alderman Peel High School
as part of the community consultation. The idea was
for people to express their feelings about their community
through photography.
Ideas were also collected through face to face interviews.

Follow with an open exhibition in the Sackhouse.
Still need to do a paper survey and look into doing

Convert material from handprints, Big Picture and face
to face interviews into a paper survey. Cheryl and Peter

company) and Compass Software.
