Introduction 1.1 Suffolk produces sand and g ravel and c halk. Sand and gravel underpins the construction sector and the chalk supports the agricultural sector. These mineral resources make an essential contribution to the nation’s prosperity and t o the quality of life. Sand and gravel provides the critical raw material for both economic and community infrastructure, manufacturing and for maintenance of infrastructure. 1.2 There are a number of sources supplying aggregates, which include secondary, recycled and marine sources. However, the majority of aggregate demand is met from extraction from land. There are also significant geographical imbalances in the occurrence of suitable natural aggregate resources, and the areas where they are most needed. 1.3 Suffolk County Council (SCC) has completed its original programme of Development Plan Documents (DPD) by adopting both a Minerals Core Strategy and a Minerals Specific Sites Allocation DPD. 1.4 The County Council is required to produce an annual Monitoring Report (MR). This monitors progress on the implementation of policies set out in the adopted documents. The Monitoring Report also helps to assess whether changes are required to these documents. 1.5 The County Council also surveys mineral production on an annual basis. It a lso estimates the amount of secondary or recycled aggregates produced and collates the number and scale of new planning permissions granted for mineral extraction, progress on restoration of sites and the size of the minerals landbank. 2. Background to Monitoring 2.1 Purpose of the Monitoring Report document 2.1.1 The primary purpose of the Monitoring Report (MR) is to share the performance and achievements of the planning service with the local community. To achieve this objective Suffolk County Council produces a Monitoring Report to monitor the effectiveness of Suffolk Minerals Core Strategy policies and the Minerals Specific Site Allocations document. It provides information on the need, if any, for a review of those policies. The purpose of this report is to identify an effective way to gather evidence for future policy, and support development management decisions. It also identifies areas where objectives aren’t being met and changes to policy or development management are necessary. 2.1.2 The Localism Act removed the requirement for local planning authorities to submit an Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) to Government, while retaining the overall duty to monitor implementation of the Development Plan. Because of this, authorities can now choose which targets and indicators to include in the report as long as they are in line with the relevant UK and EU legislation. 2.1.3 This Monitoring Report was prepared in accordance with the Development Plan Regulations 2012 and informed by the Planning Advisory Service (PAS) 3 document ‘Monitoring that matters – towards a better AMR’ April 2011. The MR will inform the Local Aggregate Assessment. 2.1.4 Suffolk County Council has prepared and consulted on a Local Aggregate Assessment (LAA) in 2013 and intends to prepare an updated LAA document and consult on i t in 2014. LAA is an important component for informing the Managed Aggregates Supply System and provides an assessment of the future need for aggregates and how this may be supplied. It will be pr epared in compliance with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and the subsequent Department of Communities and Local Government guidance and be the subject of consultation with the Aggregate Working Party. 2.2 The Minerals Core Strategy 2.2.1 The Minerals Core Strategy provides a vision for how mineral extraction should be managed in the county and identifies the social, economic and environmental objectives to achieve this vision. It also includes a Spatial Strategy indicating where new minerals development may be acceptable and identifies how much mineral extraction needs to be planned for in Suffolk up until 2021. 2.2.2 It also contains a range of Development Control policies for mineral planning proposals that will inform future planning decisions. All minerals development proposals in Suffolk should accord with the Core Strategy. 2.2.3 The MR includes information on a pplications for planning permission, active quarries and recycling operations and, during this MR year, the monitoring of the Adopted Minerals Core Strategy and M inerals Specific Site Allocations DPD where relevant or applicable. Minerals returns are provided by the Industry on a calendar year basis and unless otherwise specified, information relates to the calendar year 2012. 2.2.4 The MR continues to report on issues relating to the reserves of minerals, the uptake of sites and the application of development management policies. 2.3 How we have achieved the milestones set out in our programme for preparing our Development Plan documents for minerals 2.3.1 The milestones set out in the County Council’s most recent Development Scheme (originally approved December 2006, and published in final form August 2009) have all been met as follows (see Appendix A); 2.3.2 Minerals Core Strategy: The Minerals Core Strategy was adopted by Council on 25th September 2008. 2.3.3 Minerals Specific Site Allocation: The Minerals Specific Site Allocation DPD was adopted by Council on 24th September 2009. 4 2.3.4 Sustainability Appraisal: Alongside the development plan documents there is a requirement to produce sustainability appraisal reports on the documents. Their production ran in parallel to the preparation of the minerals and w aste development documents. Consultation on them occurred at the same time as the corresponding DPD so that their timetable for production mirrors that of these other documents. 2.3.5 Suffolk County Council is in the process of preparing a new Development Scheme and intends to publish details of this later in 2014. 3. Suffolk in Context 3.1 Households (need to provide for new dwellings) 3.1.1 Aggregate minerals underpin the construction sector and provide the critical raw material for built development and infrastructure. An important construction demand is the need to provide for new dwellings in Suffolk at an average build rate of 3211 per year. The current figure for the construction of new dwellings in 2012-2013 was around 1866 per annum (2011 figure was 1,993 source Suffolk Observatory). There has been a s ignificant decline in the number of housing completions in Suffolk in recent years and this has had an effect on the construction sector and on the minerals industry. 3.2 Development trends 3.2.1 It is expected that growth will occur in all districts within Suffolk. With a particular focus in and around Ipswich, North Haverhill, North West Stowmarket and Bury St Edmunds. These locations have been identified within the New Anglian Strategic Economic Plan, a l ocal enterprise partnership, as particular growth locations where significant employment, business expansion and housing provision is expected to be achieved between now and 2026. http://www.newanglia.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/New-Anglia-Strategic- Economic-Plan-V2.pdf 3.2.2 There are also areas allocated for employment development such as East of Stowmarket, Sudbury, Adastral Park, and Suffolk Business Park that would need roads and infrastructure and these together with the growth locations would rely on, and create a demand for, aggregate provision. 3.2.3 The Suffolk Local Transport Plan 2011 -2031 identifies significant highways works either planned or potentially programmed in Suffolk within the plan period. Such works would have an impact on the demand for local minerals and include such infrastructure schemes as Haverhill Northern Bypass and the completion of the Bury St. Edmunds Eastern Relief Road. http://www.suffolk.gov.uk/assets/suffolk.gov.uk/Environment%20and%20Transp ort/Planning/2011-07-06%20Suffolk%20Local%20Plan%20Part%201%20lr.pdf

Sutton Leaflets Panels Events and Exhibitions Responsible Field Work Access for All Education LEAFLETS Leaflets can provide information about a geosite, museum, church, etc. being visited, in a form that is easily accessible. Low tech, light to carry and brief in content, they remain the most inclusive method of public information. Everyone has or has used a leaflet! However, to be effective they do have to be distributed widely. Museums and Tourist Information Centres are excellent, and GeoSuffolk has also used local government offices, visitor centres such as the National Trust, Suffolk Wildlife Trust and English Heritage. Leaflets can be used to describe a site where an information panel Being light to carry, leaflets would be inappropriate. The active are excellent for trails as with sea cliffs at Dunwich RIGS are an Orwell Country Park and example of this – see Dunwich, The Christchurch Park in the Geology of Suffolk’s Lost City.

  • Tides of Change 2 Million Years on the Suffolk Coast
    Tides of Change 2 million years on the Suffolk Coast Tim Holt-Wilson 2 Tides of Change 2 million years on the Suffolk Coast How to use this book This is an introduction to over 2 million years of change on the Suffolk coast. Rising seas and surging ice sheets have come and gone, leaving a legacy you can discover for yourself. We suggest you start by flicking through the book and finding a few sites that catch your interest, then plan a visit using the map and access details inside the back cover. Some words which may be unfamiliar to you are listed in the glossary. All sites can be visited at your own risk. Please stick to beaches and paths, and follow the Countryside Code. Dead people don’t enjoy life The seashore can be a dangerous place so treat it with respect. Don’t get cut off by a rising tide or crushed under a cliff fall (soft cliffs like ours can give way without warning even in fine weather). And don't push your luck by standing on the cliff edge. Respect Nature Please don’t trample on vegetated shingle, a surprisingly fragile habitat, and steer clear of fenced areas with ground nesting birds in spring. Dogs on leads near these places too please. This book is published as part of the Touching the Tide Landscape Partnership Scheme, with grateful acknowledgement of support from the Heritage Lottery Fund Acknowledgements Moira Chapman and Corinne Cappell (SCDC) – Felixstowe history Alister Cruikshanks (UKGE Ltd) - Easton Bavents palaeontology Roger Dixon (GeoSuffolk) – Red Crag stratigraphy Bill Jenman - editorial Ann Trewick (Felixstowe Museum) – Felixstowe history Photograph credits All photographs © TD Holt-Wilson unless otherwise credited.

    Geological Group, Ipswich August 1967. BULLETIN NO. 3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BATTISFORD RED CRAG 'DIG’ The primary purpose of the Geological Group excavation of 8 January 1967 was to expose and collect from the shelly Red Crag gravel recorded at Battisford (NGR: TM 061 538); previous literature on the site is given at the end of this article. The excavation (‘F’ in Fig. 2) was in the "base of the pit. Water was struck at a depth of only one foot, hut fortunately the first shell fragments were found at about the same level; excavation into the shelly gravel continued for 3ft. 4in. below water level (Fig. 1), at which point baling and digging were reaching a state of equilibrium. A pickaxe was usefully employed on a thin but tough 'ironstone’ layer near the base of the hole. A provisional list of fossils found is given below- Bivalves Gastropods Anomia sp.?
