  • To Chairman & Councillors – Harkstead Parish Council from Mary Mclaren Babergh District Council Monthly Councillor Report
    To Chairman & Councillors – Harkstead Parish Council From Mary McLaren Babergh District Council Monthly Councillor Report – 10 February 2020 Babergh District Council Babergh Budget The first Draft of the Babergh District Council’s budget for 2020/2021 was agreed last month. The budget agreed an increase of £5 on council tax for Band D properties. Following consideration by the Babergh Cabinet and Overview & Scrutiny the draft budget will then go to the Full Council this month (26 February 2020) and if approved comes into effect on 1 April 2020. Citizens Advice Funding Funding for the Citizens Advices Services has been approved by Babergh & Mid Suffolk District Councils to the value of £420k. Some of this money will be allocated to Sudbury and District CA which has the largest centre in our district on a basis of £53,500 per annum. This will enable them to develop this much needed service with the assurance of long-term funding. Neighbourhood Plans Aldham & Elmsett have recently have had their NPs approved which should be an encouragement to our own parishes working hard to bring theirs to fruition. Councillors set to consider new parking plan A new Joint Parking Management Plan (JAPMP) setting out the blueprint policies to support sustainable parking across the Babergh District will be considered by councilors this month. Those councillors (including me) with rural parishes have raised the concern that not only urban wards have a difficulty with safe and appropriate parking. Country Lanes and narrow streets which experience high volumes of traffic versus the safety of all age pedestrians possibly present a greater problem than a small town where drivers might be more alert to the road hazards.

  • 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.

  • Woolverstone Parish Council
    Submission from Woolverstone Parish Council As we understand it, the aim of the electoral review is to recommend ward boundaries that mean: 1. Each councillor represents approximately the same number of voters. 2. Ensure that the pattern of wards reflects the interests and identities of local communities 3. Promoting effective local government. We do not feel in Woolverstone that the recommendations as they stand reflect the interests and identities of villages on the Shotley peninsula. In addition that the proposed ward of "Chelmondistan" deprives us of a constituency which includes our Surgery and our Local Academy. It also excludes one of the main shopping areas on the Peninsula Furthermore, the proposals ignore our historical connectivity through the Berners estate. In addition, they fail to notice the road network connections and take into account the integrity of the area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which covers a large area of the Shotley Peninsula Woolverstone Parish Council does not agree with your proposals for the Shotley Peninsula as expressed in the “Draft recommendations on the new electoral arrangements for Babergh District Council.” We also note that no reference was made to Woolverstone’s submission when discussing issues on the Shotley Peninsula in the section “Chelmondistan” p9. Firstly, we are at a loss to understand the chosen spelling of “Chelmondistan” as the name for the ward it is proposed Woolverstone is part of. This must be a misspelling, surely. Secondly, we agree with the ward of Shotley having a single councillor and including Erwarton. We suggest the name of Ganges for this ward recognising the historical connections.

  • Erwarton Parish Plan
    ERWARTON PARISH PLAN INTRODUCTION The Parish of Erwarton (or Arwarton) is bounded to the north by the Parish of Chelmondiston, to the west by the Parish of Harkstead, to the east by the Parish of Shotley and to the south by the Stour estuary. Dwellings in Erwarton are grouped largely in three parts, around St Mary’s Church, around the Queen’s Head public house and around “Shop Corner” in the west with a further half dozen abutting the Shotley boundary. Habitation existed in Roman times and a significant number of dwellings existed at the time of the Doomsday Book. Its main historical link is via Erwarton Hall, a 16th Century stately home and the residence of an aunt of Ann Boleyn. The legend that Ann Boleyn’s heart was hidden in St Mary’s church gained some credence when in 1838 a casket containing a leather pouch with dust within was found embedded in the masonry. The Parish is rural in appearance and indeed is defined for planning purposes as ‘Countryside’. There is little employment locally other than agriculture and it is probable that most villagers in employment commute to Ipswich or beyond. Although the area and coastline is very attractive, tourism is not a significant factor other than the large number of walkers and cyclists who use the many, well marked, country paths. Erwarton is the only village in the Parish and is within the administrative area of Babergh District Council, under the overall jurisdiction of Suffolk County Council. The main conurbation, Ipswich, lies some 10 miles away but, as Erwarton is towards the end of the Shotley peninsular, access to Ipswich is restricted to the B1456.
