This Appraisal will naturally affect some inhabitants of the village more than others. For instance, some building and garden alterations will become subject to tight regulations, with planning consent required before work can commence. Also - The Old School Rooms, Hempstead Lodge White Horse Cottages 43, 44, 45 Marlpit Lane and Tinker’s Cottage have been proposed for local listing for their architectural and historical interest. |
Date published: 5th February 2021 North Norfolk District Council is inviting residents in 5 Conservation Areas to let them know what they find special about the historic settlements of Baconsthorpe, Glandford, Hempstead, Holt and Leatheringsett. The consultation period is now open and is running from 1 February to 12 March. Cllr. John Toye, Portfolio Holder for Planning said: |

* Baconsthorpe * Glandford * Hempstead * Holt * Letheringsett These five conservation areas were chosen for review as they were considered priority cases: All four conservation areas were designated in the 1970's and 80's and have not been reviewed since this time. During this intervening period, significant change has taken place and the conservation areas must adapt to any prevailing changes. All five settlements are in need of robust definition and understanding to ensure the Conservation Area status remains meaningful and justified. It was felt that the additional information and guidance provided by an adopted appraisal would help inform and assist future decision making. NNDC Statement |
