The Village of Bawburgh
Bawburgh lies in the valley of the River Yare about 5 miles (8.0 km) west of Norwich city centre. It has a population of around 600.
Bawburgh Parish Council
The Parish Council is made up of 5 members who all live in Bawburgh and represent the village on various matters. We are effectively the third tier of local government, the other two being Norfolk County Council and South Norfolk District Council.
We meet generally on the third Thursday of every other month at 7.00pm in the village hall at Bawburgh (changes to the dates will be posted on this website).
The public are very welcome to attend and we encourage people to speak during the open forum which is part of each formal meeting.
News & Events
The next meeting of the Parish Council will be held on Thursday 17 September 2026 at 7.30pm. A public speaking item is always on the agenda. If you would like anything discussed please or would like to attend, please contact the clerk on pc@bawburghvillage.co.uk.
Advance Work Notice – Bawburgh Road, Bawburgh – Road Closure
Upcoming Works
As part of our work to prepare for construction of the Hornsea Three cable route, we will be installing access points across the length of the route. These access points allow for our construction traffic to access the works area via the public road system.
To facilitate these works, we will be temporarily closing Bawburgh Road, Bawburgh between the following dates:
Tuesday 1 September to Monday 7 September 2026, at all times.
During this time a temporary diversion route will be in place. The diversion route can be found overleaf. Bawburgh Road will be closed to through traffic, but local access will be maintained, up to where the team is working.
If you are concerned about accessing your property during this time, please contact us using the details at the end of this letter. If you have any questions about the map provided, or would like to request a clearer version, please contact us on the number or email provided overleaf.

About us
The Ørsted vision is a world that runs entirely on green energy. Ørsted develops, constructs, and operates offshore and onshore wind farms, solar farms, energy storage facilities, renewable hydrogen and green fuels facilities, and bioenergy plants. The Hornsea Three wind farm received development consent in December 2020. Hornsea Three, once complete, could provide clean power to over three million UK homes. It will make a significant contribution towards meeting the UK’s net zero commitments and we’re committed to working closely with stakeholders and local communities as we take the project forward.
