  • Babergh Development Framework to 2031
    Summary Document Babergh Development Framework to 2031 Core Strategy Growth Consultation Summer 2010 Babergh Development Framework to 2031 Core Strategy Consultation – Future Growth of Babergh District to 2031 i. Babergh is continuing its work to plan ahead for the district’s long-term future and the first step in this will be the ‘Core Strategy’ part of the Babergh Development Framework (BDF). It is considered that as a starting point for a new Plan, the parameters of future change, development and growth need to be established. ii. It is important to plan for growth and further development to meet future needs of the district, particularly as the Core Strategy will be a long term planning framework. Key questions considered here are growth requirements, the level of housing growth and economic growth to plan for and an outline strategy for how to deliver these. iii. Until recently, future growth targets, particularly those for housing growth, were prescribed in regional level Plans. As these Plans have now been scrapped, there are no given growth targets to use and it is necessary to decide these locally. In planning for the district’s future, a useful sub-division of Babergh can be identified. This is to be used in the BDF and it includes the following 3 main areas: Sudbury / Great Cornard - Western Babergh Hadleigh / Mid Babergh Ipswich Fringe - East Babergh including Shotley peninsula 1. Employment growth in Babergh – determining the scale of growth in employment; plus town centres and tourism 1.1 Babergh is an economically diverse area, with industrial areas at the Ipswich fringe, Sudbury, Hadleigh and Brantham (and other rural areas); traditional retail sectors in the two towns; a high proportion of small businesses; and tourism / leisure based around historic towns / villages and high quality countryside and river estuaries.

  • Boxford-Appeal-Decision-(2).Pdf
    Appeal Decision Inquiry held on 21-24 August 2018 Site visit made on 24 August 2018 by Simon Warder MA BSc(Hons) DipUD(Dist) MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 30th October 2018 Appeal Ref: APP/D3505/W/18/3197391 Land off Daking Avenue, Boxford CO10 5AA The appeal is made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 against a refusal to grant outline planning permission. The appeal is made by Landex Ltd (Mr Dan Davies) against the decision of Babergh District Council. The application Ref B/17/00091, received by the Council on 23 January 2017, was refused by notice dated 13 November 2017. The development proposed is up to 24 dwellings (including up to 8 affordable dwellings) with access. Decision 1. The appeal is dismissed. Preliminary Matters 2. The application reserves all matters except access for further approval. However, the application was supported by a Proposed Block Plan (drawing number 4862 SK03 Rev E) which shows the layout of the access roads, buildings, open space and landscaping. A revised version of this plan (drawing number 4862 SK03 Rev E-1), indicating the route of an access to Woodland Trust land to the south of the appeal site, was submitted at the Inquiry. The appellant also confirmed at the Inquiry that approval was sought for the point of access only and that other elements shown on the Proposed Block Plan are indicative only. I have considered the revised plan on that basis. 3. At the time that the parties’ statements of case were submitted the Council accepted that it could not demonstrate a five year supply of housing land.

  • The Essex Biodiversity Action Plan
    THE ESSEX BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN In much of Essex we can still enjoy a great richness of wildlife. Bluebell woods , open meadows with butterflies, birds in our urban gardens, river valleys winding through farmland, and a spectacular coastline .Wild animals and plants surrounding us in our countryside and gardens enhance our quality of life and, together with the habitats and communities they form, help us define what we mean by Essex. This is the biodiversity of Essex ; we so easily take this for granted but action is required if it is to be maintained and enhanced. What is BIODIVERSITY? “Biodiversity : the variety of life.- Biodiversity is all living things, from the tiny garden ant to the giant redwood tree. You will find biodiversity everywhere, in window boxes and wild woods, roadsides and rainforests, snow fields and seashore .” ( Biodiversity : The UK Steering Group Report 1995) Biological Diversity, or biodiversity, is the variety of life that is all around us and all over the world. It encompasses all living things from microscopic organisms to the largest trees. Not just exotic, rare and endangered plants and animals are included, but also those that are found in back gardens, parks and ponds. Biodiversity is also the assemblages of species and their surroundings that we call habitats. Biodiversity is everywhere and we rely on it for our survival. Global Biodiversity and the Rio Challenge In June 1992 leaders of over 150 countries gathered together in Rio de Janeiro for the ‘Earth Summit’. At this conference environmental issues and concerns were addressed, including the loss of the world’s biodiversity.

  • Joint Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council Landscape Guidance August 2015
    Joint Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council Landscape Guidance August 2015 Joint Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council Landscape Guidance 2015 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The landscape of Babergh and Mid Suffolk (South and North Suffolk) is acknowledged as being attractive and an important part of why people choose to live and work here. However current pressures for development in the countryside, and the changing agricultural and recreational practices and pressures, are resulting in changes that in some instances have been damaging to the local character and distinctiveness of the landscape. 1.1.1 Some development is necessary within the countryside, in order to promote a sustainable prosperous and vibrant rural economy. However, such development would be counterproductive if it were to harm the quality of the countryside/landscape it is set within and therefore the quality of life benefits, in terms of health and wellbeing that come from a rural landscape in good condition.1 1.1.2 The Council takes the view that there is a need to safeguard the character of both districts countryside by ensuring new development integrates positively with the existing character. Therefore, a Landscape Guidance has been produced to outline the main elements of the existing character and to outline broad principles that all development in the countryside will be required to follow. 1.1.3 Well designed and appropriately located development in the countryside can capture the benefits of sustainable economic development whilst still retaining and enhancing valuable landscape characteristics, which are so important to Babergh and Mid Suffolk. 1.1.4 The protection and enhancement of both districts landscape is essential not only for the intrinsic aesthetic and historic value that supports tourism and the economy for the area but also to maintain the quality of life for the communities that live in the countryside.
