In 1251 a survey carried out by the Bishop of Ely states "there is a certain common pasture called barkingtye which has within itself about 50 acres in which all the town may common with the Lord Bishop and pasture their beasts". Certain farmers grazed their stock up until the 1940's. During the Second World War, it was ploughed for cereal production. The Tye was inherited in 1959 by the Rev. John Bickersteth, who generously gave it to Barking Parish Council. In 1965 it was registered as common land under the Commons Registration Act 1965 and it's management and use governed by byelaws passed in 1969. Six commoners still have the right to graze stock but this is no longer exercised. Today the Tye is down to grass with a hay crop being sold for the benefit of the parish. A small area is devoted to a children's play area and recently work has started on establishing a wild flower meadow. The parish boasts a number of ancient woodlands. In 1251 a survey for the Bishop of Ely records the following woods, Tykele (Titley) 5 acres, Prestele (Priestley) 30 acres, Wethersheg (Swingens) 7 acres, Park Wood 9 acres and Boynhey (Bonny Wood) 180 acres. Today the trees are coppiced and the wood sold for logs.The Tye and woods are a rich source of flora and fauna, including orchids, bluebells, deer and nightingales. Today, the general public is allowed to wander in those owned by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust and the Woodland Trust. The parish is fortunate in having some 24 miles of walkable footpaths which afford some of the most splendid scenery in the County. They are well maintained and used by many local and visiting walkers. In 1998 the Suffolk Ramblers Association awarded Barking cum Darmsden their ‘Premier Pleasure to Walk Award'. In 2000, monies from the Barking 100 Lottery was used to create a Millennium Wild Flower Meadow. Situated near the children's play area on the Tye, it has now established itself with a wide range of flowers. In flower at present are ox-eyed daisies, ragged robin, redshank, red clover and of course buttercups and daisies. In 2007, Barking won the Suffolk County Council ‘Open Spaces’ Award for the Tye. The Village Sign The Village sign was designed by Mrs. Herring. The religious figure represents the Bishop of Ely, once owner of Barking Manor. The Lebanon cedar tree represents the cedar trees in the Churchyard planted by Rev. Robert Uvedale Rector from 1699 - 1723. The plough, the importance of agriculture in the Parish. 3 Barking Parish Council The Parish Councillors are: The Parish Clerk is: Rosemary Cochrane Cllr Alex Smith - 01473 658133 – Chair Melvington Cllr Steve Butler 01449 720278 – Vice -Chair Willisham Road Cllr Michael Smith - 01473 658599 Barking Tye Cllr Michael Bailey - 01473 658525 IP6 8HY Cllr Ann Ross 01449 721038 (01473) 657009 Cllr Rosamund Fellowes 07899845390 email: [email protected] website: www.barking.onesuffolk.net The Parish Council’s responsibilities include: • Finance - The Parish Council is responsible for the approval and monitoring of Council expenditure, annually analysing future funding requirements and recommends the precept to be raised.

    Great Bricett Parish Council Parish Clerk: Jennie Blackburn The Knoll, 1 All Saints Road, Creeting St Mary, Ipswich IP6 8NF [email protected] 01449 721369 F.A.O Katherine Hale Planning Officer Mid Suffolk District Council Tuesday, 26th January 2021 Dear Ms Hale Re: DC/20/05587 – Planning Application – Change of use of land for the siting of up to 73 mobile homes (following demolition of existing buildings) I am writing to inform you that Great Bricett Parish Council OBJECT to this application for the following reasons: • There is no infrastructure to accommodate extra units - no shop and no post office, despite the Transport Report stating - The site is located within an existing residential area and also within walking and cycling distance of existing facilities / services and public transport services. • There are inadequate bus services. • The only place where people can congregate in the village is the Village Hall, which is not large enough for more than 30 people, there is very restricted parking there and walking along the village road is hazardous, at least 2 accidents in the past 3 years. No provision has been made in the plans for a recreational area on the site indoor or outdoor. • The nearest Primary school is Ringshall - there is no safe way of walking to the school as there isn’t a continuous footpath. • The number of dwellings suggested is going to lead to an unacceptable increase in the traffic on The Street - 73 dwellings will mean at least 73 more vehicles. • The number of dwellings that the proposed development would add is disproportionate to the settlement size, classified as a ‘Hamlet’ village in the Joint Local Plan and above the allocation of 31 on the Infrastructure Delivery Plan for Great Bricett.

    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.
