Farmer Associates Suffolk Coastal Landscape Character Assessment Final Report 3 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Appointment Alison Farmer Associates, in association with Lucy Bachelor-Wylam and Countryscape, was appointed by Suffolk Coastal in December 2017 to undertake a landscape character assessment of the District. The landscape assessment was carried out as a standalone piece of work, but also used to inform a parallel settlement fringe sensitivity study for settlements in Suffolk Coastal District as well as around the Ipswich fringe. The planning authorities in the area are working closely together in terms of developing their local plans. In February 2018 the decision to merge Suffolk Coastal and Waveney Districts to create a single authority called East Suffolk was announced by Government. Waveney District currently has a Landscape Character Assessment which defines local character types and areas1. 1.2 The Brief and Scope of Work The aim of the project is to provide a detailed understanding of the landscape. The Study Area comprises the whole of Suffolk Coastal District. Care has been taken to ensure that the classification of character areas is compatible with that established in Waveney District to the north and also the Touching the Tide and Shotley Peninsula and Hinterland character assessments along the coast and to the south respectively. The overall scope of work included four broad stages – firstly a familiarisation stage, gathering background data from the client team; secondly a desk study stage where digital data and background documents were reviewed and landscape character areas defined in draft; thirdly site assessment where the draft character areas were verified in the field and information on perceptual aspects of the landscape recorded; fourthly a write up phase where the written descriptions for landscape areas were developed. 1.3 Approach to Study This report sets how the Suffolk Coastal landscape character assessment has been prepared, explains what past actions and events have helped shaped the landscape we see today and goes on to provide detailed descriptions of unique Landscape Character Areas. These descriptions highlight local distinctiveness and articulate the special qualities of the area, as well as providing guidance on how to manage change. The assessment is based on national guidance namely Landscape Character Assessment – Guidance for England and Scotland, Countryside Agency/Scottish Natural Heritage, 2002 and An Approach to Landscape Character Assessment, Natural England (2014). 1 Waveney District Landscape Character Assessment, Land Use Consultants, April 2008 Alison Farmer Associates Suffolk Coastal Landscape Character Assessment Final Report 4 Landscape Character Assessment is a useful tool, recognised by Government and promoted by Natural England, to identify the special character that gives a landscape its sense of place. Through this understanding the assessment helps inform planning and management of future change. Landscape Character Assessment recognises that all landscapes matter, not just those that are designated. Landscape character is the distinct, recognisable and consistent pattern of elements that makes one landscape different from another. Variations in geology, soils, landform, land use, vegetation, field boundaries, settlement patterns and building styles all help give rise to different landscapes. These differences are the product of both natural and human influences. Landscape character assessment involves mapping, classifying and describing these variations in landscape character. It also involves making judgements about the character and condition of the landscape, and analysing forces for change, to help us make informed decisions about how we should manage change in the future. In classifying the landscape, two categories may be identified: Landscape character types - these are landscapes with broadly similar combinations of geology, landform, vegetation, land use, field and settlement patterns. They repeat across a landscape so that landscapes belonging to a particular type, such as Valley Meadowlands, may be found in different places. Landscape character areas - these are unique areas that occur in only one place and are therefore geographically specific.

  • Awalkthroughblythburghvi
    AA WWAALLKK tthhrroouugghh BBLLYYTTHHBBUURRGGHH VVIILLLLAAGGEE Thiis map iis from the bookllet Bllythburgh. A Suffollk Viillllage, on salle iin the church and the viillllage shop. 1 A WALK THROUGH BLYTHBURGH VILLAGE Starting a walk through Blythburgh at the water tower on DUNWICH ROAD south of the village may not seem the obvious place to begin. But it is a reminder, as the 1675 map shows, that this was once the main road to Blythburgh. Before a new turnpike cut through the village in 1785 (it is now the A12) the north-south route was more important. It ran through the Sandlings, the aptly named coastal strip of light soil. If you look eastwards from the water tower there is a fine panoramic view of the Blyth estuary. Where pigs are now raised in enclosed fields there were once extensive tracts of heather and gorse. The Toby’s Walks picnic site on the A12 south of Blythburgh will give you an idea of what such a landscape looked like. You can also get an impression of the strategic location of Blythburgh, on a slight but significant promontory on a river estuary at an important crossing point. Perhaps the ‘burgh’ in the name indicates that the first Saxon settlement was a fortified camp where the parish church now stands. John Ogilby’s Map of 1675 Blythburgh has grown slowly since the 1950s, along the roads and lanes south of the A12. If you compare the aerial view of about 1930 with the present day you can see just how much infilling there has been.

    AN INDEX to M. Janet Becker, Blythburgh. An Essay on the Village and the Church. (Halesworth, 1935) Alan Mackley Blythburgh 2020 AN INDEX to M. Janet Becker, Blythburgh. An Essay on the Village and the Church. (Halesworth, 1935) INTRODUCTION Margaret Janet Becker (1904-1953) was the daughter of Harry Becker, painter of the farming community and resident in the Blythburgh area from 1915 to his death in 1928, and his artist wife Georgina who taught drawing at St Felix school, Southwold, from 1916 to 1923. Janet appears to have attended St Felix school for a while and was also taught in London, thanks to a generous godmother. A note-book she started at the age of 19 records her then as a London University student. It was in London, during a visit to Southwark Cathedral, that the sight of a recently- cleaned monument inspired a life-long interest in the subject. Through a friend’s introduction she was able to train under Professor Ernest Tristram of the Royal College of Art, a pioneer in the conservation of medieval wall paintings. Janet developed a career as cleaner and renovator of church monuments which took her widely across England and Scotland. She claimed to have washed the faces of many kings, aristocrats and gentlemen. After her father’s death Janet lived with her mother at The Old Vicarage, Wangford. Janet became a respected Suffolk historian. Her wide historical and conservation interests are demonstrated by membership of the St Edmundsbury and Ipswich Diocesan Advisory Committee on the Care of Churches, and she was a Council member of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History.

This reflects the strategy of the Plan which looks to create two new Garden Neighbourhoods to the north of Felixstowe and the south of Saxmundham, respond to opportunities presented by transport connections, and sustain and enhance the vitality of the rural parts of the District. 12.2 The areas are considered below in Settlement Hierarchy order, following the section on Neighbourhood Plans, as follows: Neighbourhood Plans Approach to Site Allocations Strategy for Felixstowe Strategy for Communities to the East of Ipswich Strategy for Aldeburgh Strategy for Leiston Strategy for Framlingham Strategy for Saxmundham Strategy for Woodbridge Strategy for the Rural Areas Neighbourhood Plans 12.3 Neighbourhood Plans were introduced through the Localism Act 2011 and enable communities to produce their own policies and to allocate sites for development. It is for Town and Parish Councils to decide whether they wish to produce a Neighbourhood Plan and where they do the District Council has a supporting role in the production of the Plan. Across the District, a number of communities have sought to develop their own plan, with a total of 18 Neighbourhood Plan areas designated (see Table 12.1 and map below).
