Dear Town Council Clerk

PUBLIC CONSULTATION: DRAFT CONSERVATION AREA APPRAISAL

Please find enclosed a link for the comment of your Town Council to the draft Felixstowe conservation area appraisal. I shall be very grateful to receive your Council’s comments by Monday, 4th November 2019 and these can be sent to the above postal or e.mail addresses. The appraisal will replace the existing one which dates from 1999.

I am happy to discuss any aspect of the appraisal should you have any queries or require printed copies. The appraisal is also available to view on line at the following address: https://www.eastsuffolk.gov.uk/planning/design-and-conservation/conservation-areas/public- consultation-draft-appraisals-for-the-conservation-areas-of-felixstowe--homersfield-and-holton

The purpose of a conservation area appraisal is to define what makes it special: its buildings, streets, spaces, trees and tree groups, uses, setting, topography, historic features and such like, which all combine to provide its character. In doing so the appraisal will provide an important tool in managing the future appearance and development of the conservation area and that is why public views on it are very welcome.

All comments received will be taken into account and duly considered before the Council adopts the revised appraisal.

Please note that we are not reviewing the boundary of the conservation area as part of this exercise but suggestions for changes that can be taken into account when a review is undertaken in the future are included in the appraisal.

Please note also that we have written directly to all occupiers within the conservation area to seek their views; and to the Ward Members.

Yours faithfully

Robert Scrimgeour
