    Area Specific Strategies | Suffolk Coastal Local Plan Final Draft | November 2018 (Scrutiny Committee Version) Section 12 Area Specific Strategies District wide criteria based policies 189 Area Specific Strategies | Suffolk Coastal Local Plan Final Draft | November 2018 (Scrutiny Committee Version) 12 Area Specific Strategies 12.1 This part of the Plan sets out the strategy for specific parts of the District including the Major Centres of Felixstowe and the communities neighbouring Ipswich, the towns and the rural areas. This reflects the strategy of the Plan which looks to create two new Garden Neighbourhoods to the north of Felixstowe and the south of Saxmundham, respond to opportunities presented by transport connections, and sustain and enhance the vitality of the rural parts of the District. 12.2 The areas are considered below in Settlement Hierarchy order, following the section on Neighbourhood Plans, as follows: Neighbourhood Plans Approach to Site Allocations Strategy for Felixstowe Strategy for Communities to the East of Ipswich Strategy for Aldeburgh Strategy for Leiston Strategy for Framlingham Strategy for Saxmundham Strategy for Woodbridge Strategy for the Rural Areas Neighbourhood Plans 12.3 Neighbourhood Plans were introduced through the Localism Act 2011 and enable communities to produce their own policies and to allocate sites for development. It is for Town and Parish Councils to decide whether they wish to produce a Neighbourhood Plan and where they do the District Council has a supporting role in the production of the Plan. Across the District, a number of communities have sought to develop their own plan, with a total of 18 Neighbourhood Plan areas designated (see Table 12.1 and map below).

  • 1 Gypsy Lodge, Abbey Lane, Theberton, Leiston, Suffolk IP16 4TE Price £435,000
    1 Gypsy Lodge, Abbey Lane, Theberton, Leiston, Suffolk IP16 4TE Price £435,000 SOUTHWOLD SAXMUNDHAM T: 01502722065 T: 01728 605511 www.jennie-jones.com E: [email protected] E: [email protected] A pretty detached house with an excellent range of outbuildings in about 0.4 acres (sts). The property was formerly a pair of 19th century, flint, farm cottages which were renovated and amalgamated in the 1980s to create a charming and versatile family home. The property is situated in a rural location on the edge of what was a WWII USAAF airfield. Although the fighter aircraft have long since departed, remnants of the base remain. Part of the field is now occupied by the highly regarded Cakes and Ale holiday park; a site for privately owned static caravans, touring pitches and two rental lodges. There is a small and informative museum and a memorial to the Americans service personnel of the 357th fighter group. Beyond the old airfield are the remains of Leiston Abbey, a monastery founded in the 12th century. There are wonderful walks and cycle routes in this area and the excellent local amenities at Saxmundham and Leiston lie within convenient and easy reach. The garden at Gypsy Lodge has been most attractively planted and landscaped with mature trees and shrubs that provide a high degree of privacy and seclusion. The large, well-maintained outbuildings offer ideal work- shop, studio or office space. There may be potential to convert to self contained annexe accommodation, sub- ject to the usual consents. The driveway affords ample space for a motor home, boat or caravan.

  • Introduction
    Sizewell C, Stage 4 Consultation Response Saturday, September 21, 2019 EDF ENERGY - SIZEWELL C - STAGE 4 PRE-APPLICATION CONSULTATION RESPONSE FROM THEBERTON AND EASTBRIDGE PARISH COUNCIL Introduction Theberton Theberton is a small village of approximately 170 people and 90 houses mostly straddling the B1122. It is about 4 miles north of the proposed Sizewell C (SZC) large twin reactor site. The proposed entrance to the main site will be approximately 1 mile from the village entrance sign. Within the village of Theberton there is St Peters Church, a Grade I listed thatched roof church with an unusual round tower, a Grade II listed public house, a village hall, two working farms, a cattery, a small business selling wild bird and other animal feeds, a small caravan park and other places to stay for visitors to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside. The successful village hall offers many activities and classes to the community and surrounding areas. Eastbridge Eastbridge is a tranquil hamlet of around 70 people and 40 houses nestled in a rural landscape with no street signs or speed limits. It borders the Minsmere River which cuts through an area of important wetland known as the Minsmere Levels forming part of the Minsmere - Walberswick Heaths and Marshes Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), which is also the location of RSPB Minsmere Reserve. Within Eastbridge there is a public house, the Eels Foot Inn, a working farm, a certified and a basic campsite, for visitors to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside. Many local people and visitors enjoy the circular walk from Eastbridge to the Minsmere sluice to reach the Suffolk Heritage Coast and the sea returning through RSPB Minsmere or via National Trust’s Dunwich Coastguards Cottages.
