The Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk, Colin Sutton, to inform you that the consultation for the new Norfolk Police and Crime Plan 2026-2028 has now been launched.
The Police and Crime Plan will establish the strategic priorities for policing, crime prevention, and community safety across Norfolk over the next two years. As key partners in supporting and delivering safer communities, the views and experiences of local authorities are invaluable in helping to shape these priorities.
Please find attached information relating to the consultation. I would be grateful if you could take the opportunity to review the enclosed documents and complete the consultation survey, which can be accessed via the following link:
Survey Link: Police and Crime Plan 26/28 and Police Budget Consultation 2027/28
The consultation will remain open until Friday 9th October, and we would encourage responses to be submitted before this date.
This consultation represents an important opportunity for public sector partners, communities, and stakeholders to influence the future direction of policing and community safety across Norfolk, and we welcome all contributions.

The Borough Council emailed the PC on 7th September to share the link below and shared that:
This part of the consultation is a scoping consultation, which seeks views on what people would like to see in the plan and how they would like to be consulted. It’s also an opportunity to comment on sites that were put forward in our ‘call for sites’, as well as an opportunity to suggest sites that haven’t already been put forward. For the avoidance of doubt, at this stage, these are sites which have been proposed by landowners, developers etc. as possibly suitable for development. Once we have reviewed all the feedback and created a draft plan, we will move to the next phase of consultation, when we will ask for your views on sites we are proposing for development.
Please click on the link below for more information and how as a member of public you can submit your own response. The PC will consider its response at its meeting on the 28th September, but urges all residents to add their own comments regardless.

Following the Borough Council’s approval of the recent Permission in Principle (PiP) application for 5 Affordable houses off A134 Stoke Road, Wereham Parish Council wishes to update parishioners on the situation and next steps.
A Permission in Principle application does not grant full planning permission. It establishes only that the site is considered suitable in principle, and the developer must now submit a full planning application before any development can proceed. If indeed they are in ownership of the land at this time, which we are not aware of either way. As part of the PiP process, parishioners were encouraged to submit their views, and a total of 68 objections were lodged. The Council is grateful to everyone who took the time to respond.
Last week, I spoke with our local MP, Terry Jermy, and raised concerns the village had. Cllr Sue Lintern also clarified that PiP applications cannot be “called in” by Borough Councillors, and that future changes to planning legislation may further limit the ability to call in applications of this type.
We can now confirm that the developer will be required to submit a full planning application. When that application is published, parishioners will again have the opportunity to comment, and it will be important for residents to make their views known just as they did during the PiP stage.
When and if the developers submit a full application all technical aspects of the application such as Highways will come into effect. It is paramount that everyone who has objections to this application resubmits again, and to assure you please do not feel that you are not being heard.
Wereham Parish Council will continue to keep parishioners informed as further information becomes available, this might not be any time soon.
