There will be clips into mortar joints by drilling a 5mm hole, the possibility of a new hole needed to be drilled in the floorboards from the Porter's Lodge up to the storage heater in the Great Hall if the current aperture is too small, and the drilling of a 10mm hole in a doorframe through to the offices, which is of low historic importance; roughly one hundred years old and very common.

What these statistics cover

These figures describe applications collected by PlanningTrack for Norwich City Council, across all dates currently available. They are a partial dataset, rather than an authority-wide performance measure. The date range does not establish continuous historical coverage.

The approval percentage is approved records divided by approved plus refused records. Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded. No percentage is shown until there is an approved or refused record.
