Approved by Fola Ogunyoye Date/initials approval …………………. …………………. IMPORTANT GUIDANCE TO THE USE OF THIS WATER CYCLE STUDY The Haven Gateway water Cycle Study was undertaken as a sub-regional study which covered a number of local authority areas. As such the level of detail entered in to for the study may be lower than a study carried out at a local planning authority or development area. The Stage 2 of the study was prepared over a period of 18 months from May 2008 to October 2009. During this period there have been a number of developing initiatives, particularly within the planning policy development, and the local authorities are at various stages within the processes which has meant that differing levels of information have been available across the sub-region. The report is based primarily on data valid at the end of 2008 and has not, in general, included changes to data or policies since that date. Key areas which are known to have changed are: • Issue of final Water Resource Management Plans by the Water Companies to Ofwat. There may also be further changes as a result of the determination of the PR09 submissions to Ofwat. • Latest guidance from the Environment Agency on the production of Water Cycle Studies (Water Cycle Study Guidance, January 2009). • Development scenarios in the short term due to changes in the economic climate. In addition it has been commented that in some areas the Urban Waste Water Directive (UWWTD) sets limits on pollution discharge that may be lower than those set under the Water Resource Act and so may impact on the apparent pollution consent headroom discussed within the report. This will need further investigation, either in local studies or within the next update of the study. Furthermore, solutions to both wastewater discharge and water supply issues have not been considered in detail and there may well be alternatives solutions to improve the use of water (such as effluent re-use) that have not been discussed in the current report. The conclusions of the report have adopted a precautionary principle in that they have been based on no future action, and therefore highlight that action is needed, irrespective of whether this action is already planned, or needs to be planned before development takes place. The intention of the report is to encourage and focus dialogue between the development partners to ensure that the various components of the water cycle are considered by all. It is expected that some local authorities or individual developers may need to take the water cycle studies into additional detail and develop strategies for implementing any actions required prior to, during and after development to ensure the longer term security of the water cycle. Haven Gateway WCS - Stage 2 - i - 9T0070/R/301073/PBor Final Report November 2009 The Water Cycle Study is a living document and it is intended that regular reviews and updates of the document will be undertaken and that comments received on this initial study will be incorporated into the first review. 9T0070/R/301073/PBor Haven Gateway WCS - Stage 2 November 2009 Final Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Haven Gateway Partnership commissioned a Water Cycle Study to ensure that water supply, water quality, sewerage and flood risk management issues can be properly addressed and thus enabling the substantial growth proposed in the East of England Plan to 2021 to be accommodated in a sustainable way. The study considered the Haven Gateway sub region which covers all of Colchester Borough, Ipswich Borough and Tendring District Council and parts of Babergh District, Mid Suffolk District and Suffolk Coastal District Councils. Current and future development in the sub region is centred on the two large urban centres of Ipswich and Colchester together with a number of smaller market towns, whereas the focus of employment is on the two ports of Felixstowe and Harwich. In total the draft regional Spatial Strategy identified the need for around 51,000 new homes to be built across the region between 2001 and 2021. The study commenced in 2007 and followed a staged approach to delivery. Stage 1 outlined the available data together with a broad assessment and was published in June 2008. The Stage 2 report looked in more detail at the water cycle and the impacts of development within specific areas on water supply, wastewater collection and disposal and flooding and was published in October 2009. METHODOLOGY The development of the water Cycle Study followed the concept of state - pressure - impact - management. The study set out to understanding the present state, assessed and presented the impact of proposed development pressures on it the water cycle and developed high level approaches and recommendations for accommodating the development within the capacity and environmental constraints of the water cycle and associated infrastructures. The study was based on information provided by the stakeholders, in particular the local planning authorities and water companies. It initially involved a strategic level review of Water Resources and Supply, Water Quality, Wastewater Collection and Treatment and Flood Risk. Three water companies supply the sub region with fresh water, Anglian Water Services, Tendring Hundred Water Services and Essex and Suffolk Water Services. All three companies have prepared draft Water Resource Management Plans which were used during the preparation of this report. Final Water resource Management plans are now being prepared but were not available for reference at the time this report was prepared. Water quality was assessed in terms of both the receiving watercourses and sensitive sites and the impacts of changing sewage discharges on these receiving watercourses. In addition it considered whether technology was available to improve the treatment of discharge to maintain a net zero increase in pollutant load. Haven Gateway WCS - Stage 2 - iii - 9T0070/R/301073/PBor Final Report November 2009 Wastewater collection and treatment was considered in terms of the discharge rates to be applied for new development, both residential and employment, which were then used in the more detailed analysis of each treatment works affected by the proposed development. Finally flood risk was considered by reference to the work being carried out by the Environment Agency and the local planning authorities on fluvial, tidal, surface water and groundwater flooding, together with looking at the impact of flood reduction measures on water abstraction areas and groundwater. Following the strategic view, a more detailed planning authority by planning authority assessment was made, looking in more detail at the same parts of the cycle, but considering development areas and sewage treatment catchments and establishing areas where there were issues that would require further investigation and action before development should take place in a sustainable way. SUMARY OF FINDINGS Water supply - all three of the water supply companies were confident that they had sufficient resources to supply the demands of the region over the forthcoming period and had plans in place to be able to realise these resources. There was a general assumption that the demand on water would reduce per capita due to metering, reduction in leakage and householder efficiencies and additional capacities would be addressed within their current improvement plans. Wastewater - in general wastewater infrastructure and wastewater treatment and discharge are reasonable constrained within the sub-region. There are numerous areas where the existing infrastructure is currently at capacity with no room for growth. In addition a number of the treatment works are at, or will reach capacity with the projected growth, and therefore will require increases to their allowed discharge together with potential extensions to the works. Water Quality - increases in discharge from sewage treatment works need to be accommodated within the receiving watercourses without adverse impacts. There are areas within the region where treatment improvements will be required to avoid any increase in pollution loads within the receiving water bodies. Flooding - the understanding of fluvial and tidal flood risk is reasonably understood within the sub-region and the majority of the proposed development falls outside of the defined higher flood risk areas. There is some development within brown field sites adjacent to water bodies that may be dependant on future flood defences to provide some degree of protection in conjunction with selection of appropriate development types. The consideration of surface water drainage and the adoption of suds techniques for drainage will apply to all sites. The detailed report summary shows the results of the analysis, rolled up to a single line for each development area. The overall analysis has adopted a precautionary approach which therefore tends to show a worst case scenario. The table shows the majority of the sites potentially requiring significant action before development can take place. The 9T0070/R/301073/PBor Haven Gateway WCS - Stage 2 November 2009 Final Report summary does not show the individual assessments which are shown in more detail in the local planning authority sections and show which of the six parameters analysed is affecting the ability of the site to accept development. For each development area and local planning authority a key set of actions has been identified to address these constraints.

    The Alde & Ore Association Newsletter 51 - Spring 2019 The Chairman’s note It may have been winter but a lot has been going on! In this issue What a strange winter. There may yet be more surprises Havergate Island before we get to Easter. But, with the drier warm weather in February it has been possible to really enjoy the AOEP estuary plan broad open walk on the recently refurbished part of the Aldeburgh wall, and indeed on all our estuary walls. AOET fund raising progress You will see from this Newsletter that there is always something happening in the estuary. It is rather like a Butley Ferry-onwards swan, flowing serenely down its chosen path, excepting stormy times, while there are many of us working away Coastline south of Slaughden to make sure it continues that way as far as possible. There is the welcome refurbishment of the northern walls of History of the river walls Havergate Island by the RSPB: these will make it more surge resistant and will also help the estuary as whole Shingle Street – changing shoreline by providing a flood storage area and so flood relief low down in the estuary. Meanwhile as you will see from Shingle Street nature update the pages of photographs of Shingle Street, it is an ever changing landscape Forthcoming events As you will see the AOEP has just held a well-attended open Drop-in and annual community meeting. It is good to report the plans are well on the way. It has taken a seemingly frustrating long time to get everything into place but it is worth it: there are so many steps, all interlocking which have to be moved forwards together, not least modelling of tides and surges to check that when work is done no other part of the estuary is at a greater risk of flooding even if only temporarily.

  • Conservation Area Appraisal
    Appendix A conservation area appraisal Introduction The conservation area in Brent Eleigh was originally designated by West Suffolk County Council in 1973, and inherited by Babergh District Council at its inception in 1974. The Council has a duty to review its conservation area designations from time to time, and this appraisal examines Brent Eleigh under a number of different headings as set out in English Heritage’s ‘Guidance on Conservation Area Appraisals’ (2006) and having regard to Historic England’s new guidance (2016). This brings the village in line with Babergh’s other conservation area appraisals in the same format. As such it is a straightforward appraisal of Brent Eleigh’s built environment in conservation terms. As a document it is neither prescriptive nor overly descriptive, but more a demonstration of ‘quality of place’, sufficient to inform the Planning Officer and others considering changes or assessing proposed works there. The photographs and maps are thus intended to contribute as much as the text itself. As the Historic England guidelines point out, the appraisal is to be read as a general overview, rather than as a comprehensive listing, and the omission of any particular building, feature or space does not imply that it is of no interest in conservation terms. Text, photographs and map overlays by Patrick Taylor, Conservation Architect, for Babergh District Council 2019. Topographical Framework The village of Brent Eleigh is situated in south-central Suffolk, about seven miles north-west of the market town of Hadleigh and two miles south-east of Lavenham. Both Hadleigh and Lavenham were at one time served by branch lines of the eastern railway, both now closed down.

    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.
