  • Babergh District Council

    Babergh District Council

    Draft recommendations on the new electoral arrangements for Babergh District Council Consultation response from Babergh District Council Babergh District Council (BDC) considered the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s draft proposals for the warding arrangements in the Babergh District at its meeting on 21 November 2017, and made the following comments and observations: South Eastern Parishes Brantham & Holbrook – It was suggested that Stutton & Holbrook should be joined to form a single member ward and that Brantham & Tattingstone form a second single member ward. This would result in electorates of 2104 and 2661 respectively. It is acknowledged the Brantham & Tattingstone pairing is slightly over the 10% variation threshold from the average electorate however this proposal represents better community linkages. Capel St Mary and East Bergholt – There was general support for single member wards for these areas. Chelmondiston – The Council was keen to ensure that the Boundary Commission uses the correct spelling of Chelmondiston (not Chelmondistan) in its future publications. There were comments from some Councillors that Bentley did not share common links with the other areas included in the proposed Chelmondiston Ward, however there did not appear to be an obvious alternative grouping for Bentley without significant alteration to the scheme for the whole of the South Eastern parishes. Copdock & Washbrook - It would be more appropriate for Great and Little Wenham to either be in a ward with Capel St Mary with which the villages share a vicar and the people go to for shops and doctors etc. Or alternatively with Raydon, Holton St Mary and the other villages in that ward as they border Raydon airfield and share issues concerning Notley Enterprise Park.

    February 2019 Newsletter

    for Issue Feb 2019 Connecting Communities ince becoming leader of Suffolk County Council, I have continued to keep broadband at the top of my agenda. I am pleased to tell you that the Better Broadband for Suffolk program has Sreached a new milestone, 93% of homes and businesses across Suffolk can now upgrade to a Superfast Broadband service. This is fantastic news and means an overwhelming majority of residents, businesses and organisations can now enjoy the benefits of faster and more reliable internet speeds. But as a resident and a councillor of a rural ward where some premises still do not enjoy these benefits, I know we have further to go. We already have a contract in place for Openreach to extend fibre broadband coverage to 98% of all Suffolk premises by 2020. But even beyond this, we are committed to reaching 100% Superfast Broadband coverage in Suffolk as quickly as possible. So, if you haven’t already done so, check if Superfast Broadband is available where you live by following the simple steps below, but don’t forget, even if broadband is available, you will need to upgrade your connection to enjoy the benefits of the higher speeds. I look forward to updating you on our future progress. Cllr. Matthew Hicks Leader of Suffolk County Council and Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Infrastructure Here are three simple steps to upgrade Step 1 Finding out whether Better Broadband is available to your postcode Visit our website at www.betterbroadbandsuffolk.com/upgrade-now. Just having the ability to connect doesn’t mean you automatically have Superfast Broadband.

    Committee Report Description of Development: Outline- Erection of Detached Two-Storey Dwelling with Garage/Carport and Parking/T

    Committee Report Item No: 4 Reference: B/17/00023 Case Officer: John Davies Description of Development: Outline- Erection of detached two-storey dwelling with garage/carport and parking/turning area incorporating existing vehicular access from Raydon Road. As amplified by additional information comprising Agricultural Viability Statement, Land valuation, additional demolition quotation and plans 2489/01A and 02A received 25 April 2017. Location: Ceylon House, Raydon Road, Hintlesham, IP8 3QH Parish: Hintlesham Ward: Brook Ward Member/s: Cllr N Ridley and Cllr B Gasper Site Area: 0.27 Conservation Area: Not in Conservation Area Listed Building: Not Listed Received: 05/01/2017 Expiry Date: 31/03/2017 Application Type: Outline Planning Permission Development Type: Minor Dwellings Environmental Impact Assessment: Environmental Assessment Not Required Applicant: Mr and Mrs Murray Agent: Nick Peasland Architectural Services DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED FOR CONSIDERATION The application, plans and documents submitted by the Applicant can be viewed online. Alternatively a copy is available to view at the Mid Suffolk and Babergh District Council Offices. SUMMARY The proposal has been assessed with regard to adopted development plan policies, the National Planning Policy Framework and all other material considerations. The officers recommend approval of this application on the balance of the relevant issues. The proposed dwelling would represent unsustainable development within the countryside contrary to national and local policies. However, in this case the development would include the removal of large, redundant and unsightly glasshouses which is a material consideration and a potential exception to justify the proposed dwelling. PART ONE – REASON FOR REFERENCE TO COMMITTEE The application is referred to committee for the following reason/s: - A Member of the Council has requested that the application is determined by the appropriate Committee and the request has been made in accordance with the Planning Charter or such other protocol / procedure adopted by the Council.

    Questions Asked by the Examiners. Matter 1A – Legal Compliance 1.1

    Questions asked by the examiners. Matter 1a – Legal Compliance 1.1 In preparing the plan did the Councils engage constructively, actively and on an on-going basis with neighbouring authorities and other relevant organisations on cross-boundary issues, in respect of the Duty to Co-operate? [ 1.4 Does the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) provide a comprehensive and robust basis to inform the strategy and contents of the plan, 1.5 Does the plan include policies designed to ensure that the development and use of land in Babergh and Mid Suffolk contributes to the mitigation of, and adaptation to, climate change? 1.6 Does the plan include policies to address the strategic priorities for the development and use of land in Babergh and Mid Suffolk? Matter 1b – Legal Compliance (Habitats Regulations Assessment) 1.8 Is the Habitats Regulations Assessment robust and does the plan include all the recommendations identified in the assessment as necessary to ensure compliance with the Habitats Regulations? 2.4 Are policies LP09(1) and LP10 positively prepared, justified and effective approaches to planning for the accommodation needs of Gypsies, Travellers, Travelling Showpeople and boat dwellers? Answers: Question – 2.4: Policy LP 10 is poorly drafted, it has nothing to do with providing accommodation for boat dwellers. It also has little to do with boats in that there is no definition of what the word houseboat is intended to mean or describe. It also refers to defined moorings but fails to state what a defined mooring is. It is irrelevant to swinging moorings in the river as they do not require planning permission however do require a licence from ABP as do all moorings in the river.

    Babergh District Councillor Derek Davis – Ganges Ward (Shotley

    Babergh District Councillor Derek Davis – Ganges ward (Shotley & Erwarton) We are into the school summer holidays and as the dad of a teenager I know how difficult it can be for parents keeping their young ones active during these six weeks. It was with that in mind that my first act as Cabinet member for Communities, was to instigate the free swim initiative for all those Babergh residents who are 16 and under. At the moment this is for use at both our Hadleigh and Kingfisher pool in Sudbury. Ideally moving forward, we will be able to liaise with other pools in Suffolk, especially Ipswich for us on the peninsula, but one stroke at a time. This has come about due to our great partnership with Abbeycroft Leisure, that also runs the sports centre at Holbrook, and we are working with them to run outdoor explorer activity days, with at least one coming to Shotley. Details were being finalised at the time of writing this so please keep an eye out on my Facebook page for confirmed dates etc, or go to: https://www.acleisure.com/blog/ Another initiative we have been involved in is the Active Suffolk programme encouraging primary schools to encourage their pupils to take part in a wide range of activities, whether that is the daily mile walk, archery, dance, Tchouckball, or the traditional football and netball. The project, run in partnership with NHS West Suffolk and NHS Ipswich and East Suffolk clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) will run for three years with the support of Active Suffolk, the Active Partnership for Suffolk dedicated to increasing the number of people taking part in sport and physical activity.
