Directions Leave Norwich via the B1132 passing through Poringland and Brooke and onto Ditchingham. At the roundabout with the A143, turn right and at the next roundabout, turn left into Bungay centre. Leave Bungay via the A144 towards Halesworth and after approximately 1 mile, bear left signposted to Ilketshall St. Andrew. Follow this country lane for approximately 1½ miles, passing Great Common, where the entrance to Blacksmiths will be found on the right hand side. The postcode for the property is NR34 8JL. The Property Blacksmiths is a substantial and imposing family home set in a pretty rural hamlet, just 3½ miles from the town of Bungay. The property was constructed around 1975, built by a local builder for his own occupation and is architect designed to replicate the style of a Suffolk long house. The present family purchased the property around 2000, from which they time have carried out considerable improvements which include new windows and doors with the exception of the original front door, a new oil fired central heating system and the boiler which has more recently been upgraded, the upgrading of the wiring, replacement of both bathrooms and at the end of 2015, a new villager wood burning stove installed in the sitting room. Works have also extended to the outside where the garden has been developed and redesigned including a large paved terrace running along the rear of the property, overlooking the garden and considerable replanting. The spacious accommodation is well arranged over three floors with the top floor currently being used as a large work room or playroom and could easily be subdivided to create further individual rooms if required. We draw your attention to the floorplans for a full explanation as to how the accommodation is arranged. During the time of construction, some reclaimed joinery was used including a period front door and some period internal doors and door casements giving the property an older, more traditional atmosphere which includes good ceiling heights. Situation The rural hamlet of Ilketshall St. Andrew is quietly situated off a country lane and has an attractive common with good walks and pleasant open countryside. The market town of Bungay is approximately 3½ miles distant and offers a good range of shops and banking facilities as well as a high school. The busy market town of Beccles (approximately 4½ miles distant) offers a larger range of shops and facilities including restaurants and cafes and is in the Waveney Valley with sailing facilities. There is a junior school at Ringsfield taking children to the ages of eleven. Norwich, the cathedral city, is approximately 18 miles distant and is renowned for its shopping and historic centre. Outside The house is approached via a long driveway as the property is set back from the country lane, passing a wide lawned garden at the front with large pond, mature trees, shrubs and plants. A parking area can be found at the northwest side of the house. The drive then passes the front entrance and round to the double garage with further parking. The formal gardens are largely to the rear of the house and feature a large south facing paved terrace running along the rear of the house overlooking the lawned gardens, again with mature trees, shrubs and plants which attract considerable birdlife. The gardens and grounds in all extend to 1.26 of an acre (est). Agent’s Note The initial part of the driveway from the lane to the main entrance gate to the property is via common land.

  • ELECTORAL DIVISION PROFILE 2017 This Division Comprises Bungay and Wainford Wards in Their Entirety Plus Part of the Saints Ward
    UNGAY ELECTORAL DIVISION PROFILE 2017 This Division comprises Bungay and Wainford wards in their entirety plus part of The Saints ward www.suffolkobservatory.info 2 © Crown copyright and database rights 2017 Ordnance Survey 100023395 CONTENTS . Demographic Profile: Age & Ethnicity . Economy and Labour Market . Schools & NEET . Index of Multiple Deprivation . Health . Crime & Community Safety . Additional Information . Data Sources 3 ELECTORAL DIVISION PROFILES: AN INTRODUCTION These profiles have been produced to support elected members, constituents and other interested parties in understanding the demographic, economic, social and educational profile of their neighbourhoods. We have used the latest data available at the time of publication. Much more data is available from national and local sources than is captured here, but it is hoped that the profile will be a useful starting point for discussion, where local knowledge and experience can be used to flesh out and illuminate the information presented here. The profile can be used to help look at some fundamental questions e.g. Does the age profile of the population match or differ from the national profile? . Is there evidence of the ageing profile of the county in all the wards in the Division or just some? . How diverse is the community in terms of ethnicity? . What is the impact of deprivation on families and residents? . Does there seem to be a link between deprivation and school performance? . What is the breakdown of employment sectors in the area? . Is it a relatively healthy area compared to the rest of the district or county? . What sort of crime is prevalent in the community? A vast amount of additional data is available on the Suffolk Observatory www.suffolkobservatory.info The Suffolk Observatory is a free online resource that contains all Suffolk’s vital statistics; it is the one‐stop‐shop for information and intelligence about Suffolk.

Early next month the official 20mph speed limit signs will be installed in Back Lane. A former Parish Councilor, Derek Bessey, championed this project and lobbied hard for it to be included in Suffolk Highways’ plans. I am very sorry that he is not here to see the project come to fruition. Waveney’s new Local Plan. As you know, Waveney District Council is preparing a new Local Plan. This will replace the existing Local Development Framework, and will set planning policies which will be used to determine future planning applications.

  • East Suffolk Council
    SUFFOLK COASTAL AND WAVENEY DISTRICT COUNCILS Joint Response to LGBCE Consultation on Proposed New Electoral Arrangement for: EAST SUFFOLK COUNCIL Overview Overall, Suffolk Coastal and Waveney District Councils (the east Suffolk councils) welcome and support the recommendations made by the Local Government Boundary Commission for the district ward arrangements for East Suffolk Council. We note that the vast majority of the recommendations are in line with our proposals, as laid out in our response of Friday, 4 May 2018 which can be viewed at: http://apps.eastsuffolk.gov.uk/committeeminutes/readdocument.asp?docid=22852 , together with the supporting evidence. We see the recommendations from the Boundary Commission as being positive and in line with local requirements to effectively govern the new East Suffolk Council. For the sake of brevity, this response should be seen as broad agreement on all of the recommendations – apart for the exceptions that we have highlighted below (with our detailed response/suggestions for each): Ward no. 1 - Beccles & Worlingham The Boundary Commission proposed to create a three-councillor Beccles and Worlingham Ward. Although the east Suffolk councils recognise that this addresses the slight variance issue caused by keeping Beccles as a two-councillor self-contained ward (comprising of the Beccles parish only), we remain strongly committed to our original proposals of having two separate wards in this area. There is strong feeling in the area that Worlingham should not be ‘subsumed’ into Beccles, demonstrated by a campaign launched last year (see https://www.facebook.com/Death-of-our-village-109847156378796/) on the reaction to the first draft of the Waveney Local Plan.

These judicial review proceedings challenge the decision of the Waveney District Council (“the Council”) to approve the details under certain of the conditions imposed on a planning permission for a wind turbine. In outline, the claimant’s case is that the Council wrongly discharged the conditions relating to aviation safety and archaeological work since they had been breached; that as a consequence of their breach the planning permission has expired; and that the Council also failed to comply with the publicity and consultation requirements relating to environmental matters. He applies for an order quashing the decision that the planning permission was capable of implementation; a declaration that the planning permission has expired; and an order quashing the approval of details under the conditions.
