STOWUPLAND PARISH COUNCIL 2 Broomspath Road, Stowupland, Suffolk, IP14 4DB Clerk: Claire Pizzey 01449 677005 (10am-noon Tuesdays-Thursdays) [email protected] Mid Suffolk District Council Planning Services 131 High Street Needham Market Suffolk IP6 8DL 15 July 2016 For the attention of Gemma Walker Dear Sirs, Application number: 1884/16 Proposal: Application for Outline Planning Permission for the erection of 18 dwellings, parking for primary school an extension to cemetery Location: Land on the South East of, Church Road, Stowupland Stowupland Parish Council supports this application as it does not appear to be contrary to any policies. However, members had a number of concerns, mainly regarding the car parks included in the application. There does not seem to be a need for two separate car parks, and parents should not be encouraged to dropping off on the opposite side of A1120 from the school. Us for staff parking seems a better option freeing up other spaces for dropping off and picking up. The road layout should be looked at in the light of the comments about ‘building out crime’. The footpaths to the rear of properties are unnecessary and could give rise to problems. Detailed investigations are required to establish the suitability of the land offered for a burial ground extension. The applicant should pay for the investigation work.

Currently there are no formal crossing points on Church Road in the vicinity of the site. Following development here there will be a resultant need for pedestrians to cross from the site to the existing footway on the north western or school side of the road. At this point on Church Road vehicles are frequently exceeding the speed limit as it is a long striaght section of A Class road. Crossing will therefore be a hazardous necessity. As there is no footway on the site side of Church Road pedestrians will need to immediately cross over, particularly to access the school. As parking facilities are intended to be provided for the school, Church and potentially for a cemetery extension, there will be pedestrians crossing at regular times of the day. The applicant recognises that there will be a likely requirement for a pedestrian crossing as it is mentioned in paragraph 3-8-2 of the submitted Planning Statement. Unfortunately there is restricted space in which to postion a crossing due to the lay-by which exists outside the Church and the School. Location of a crossing will therefore require further investigation by the applicant together with provision of appropriate traffic calming on the approaches to the site. Any internal layout of the site and proposed car park will need further thought to ensure that the crossing is located in a position convenient to the car parking in order that a commodious crossing point is established. There would be little benefit providing a crossing Endeavour House, 8 Russell Road, Ipswich, Suffolk IP1 2BX www.suffolk.gov.uk which is poorly related to the car park and site access as many pedestrians will cross at the most convenient point. It is therefore suggested that the applicant investigates a scheme at this stage, supported by relevant Safety Audits, so we may be confident that the development can be delivered in a safe manner with appropriate pedestrian connectivity. Please inform the applicant of my comments and I shall await further details.

LOCATION: Land On The South East Side Of, Church Road, Stowupland ROAD CLASS: A1120 Notice is hereby given that the County Council as Highway Authority make the following comments: Drawing Number 014/2016/01/P4 Whilst many of the updated access details are considered acceptable as shown on the submitted drawing the proposed junction visibility splays are not acceptable or appropriate for this location on Church Road. Endeavour House, 8 Russell Road, Ipswich, Suffolk IP1 2BX www.suffolk.gov.uk Visibility splays of 90 metres in each direction at a 4.5m set back are appropriate for this new access and need to be indicated on the drawing. The Agent has already been advised of this requirement (correspondence of 21st August 2017) so I assume the current submission, with incorrect splays, is an oversight. Yours faithfully, Mr Martin Egan Highways Development Management Engineer Strategic Development Endeavour House, 8 Russell Road, Ipswich, Suffolk IP1 2BX www.suffolk.gov.uk Subject: From: Martin Egan Sent: 06 November 2017 10:24 To: Jack Wilkinson Subject: FW: 1884/16 – Application for Outline Planning Permission for the erection of 18 dwellings, parking for primary school and extension to cemetery Jack, Application 0117/17 is located to the south west, almost 400m away centre to centre of site frontage (certainly not 100m). It was also a full application for 9 dwellings with an open frontage such that access visibility is not impeded. For 1884/16 the housing numbers are doubled, a car park to service the school and a cemetery extension are also proposed so we are not comparing like with like. If the retention of the frontage hedgerow is a particular issue then I can accept visibility splays
