Wiveton Parish Council have adopted the Norfolk Coast Partnership Dark Skies Planning Statement. This statement is noted on all planning comments submitted by the Parish Council. The statement is as follows:

The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) Clause 180c and Norfolk County Council‘s Environmental Lighting Zones Policy both recognise the importance of preserving dark landscapes and dark skies. In order to minimise light pollution, we request that any outdoor lights associated with this proposed development should be:

1) fully shielded (enclosed in full cut-off flat glass fitments)

2) directed downwards (mounted horizontally to the ground and not tilted upwards)

3) switched on only when needed (no dusk to dawn lamps)

4) white light low-energy lamps (LED) and not orange or pink sodium sources
