English Heritage To Visit Yarmouth Jetty

Great Yarmouth Borough Council has been informed that Representatives from English Heritage will be visiting various sites, both public and privately owned in Great Yarmouth on the 8^th and 9^th of February.

With this visit in mind Charles Reynolds Chairman of G.Y.B.C. Planning committee has asked that the current application for the Jetty, due to be determined by the planning committee on the 16^th February, be deferred

Mr Reynolds commented

“ It would be quite improper to consider any application for the Jetty while English Heritage might be looking at listing the structure, this process could take 2 to 3 months, and I think it only correct that the Council looks at it’s options again, later in the year, and in the light of any decision taken by English Heritage. This period of time will also give interested parties time to formulate and give the Council any constructive and practical ideas that they might have. In the meantime we will be urgently looking at making the current structure, safe and secure for the coming summer season, and these works will be carried out without affecting the current structure”
