  • 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.

The origin of the name Thorndon traces back to Old English meaning 'Thorn Hill', coming from 'þorn' meaning a hawthorn-tree and 'dūn' meaning a hill. The village has a strong farming heritage and was first mentioned in the Doomsday Book of 1086; it was described as ‘hill where thorn trees grow’ and had a recorded population of 46 with livestock consisting of 31 pigs, 2 cobs, 15 cattle and 24 sheep. By 1337 ownership of the village moved to Robert de Ufford who made his mark on the Manor by building All Saints’ Church; this became, and remains, a dominating feature in the area (listed as grade II since 1955). The first school in the village was built in 1833 for infants and was turned into a reformatory in 1856 by Sir Edward Kerrison. The current school was opened in 1873 and is built on the site of the Workhouse. The earliest records of Thorndon's population date back to 1811, with the total population being 580.

  • Topic Paper – Settlement Hierarchy Review
    Working Together Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Local Plan Regulation 18 Consultation Topic Paper – Settlement Hierarchy Review July 2019 1. Introduction 1.1 This Topic Paper accompanies the Settlement Hierarchy section of the Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Draft Local Plan (July 2019). 1.2 The purpose of this Topic Paper is to present additional detail and context behind the new Settlement Hierarchy as proposed by the Joint Local Plan. 1.3 As part of the preparation of the new Joint Local Plan for Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils, a review of the settlement hierarchy was carried out to reflect changes that have occurred over recent years and to ensure that the settlements are appropriately categorised in relation to the services and facilities they provide. 1.4 This study collates information on the services and facilities availability of villages in both districts. Comments received during the Joint Local Plan consultation (August – November 2017) have been considered in the production of this Topic Paper and the resulting Settlement Hierarchy in the Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Local Plan. 1.5 Babergh and Mid Suffolk currently have different settlement hierarchies as set out in the Babergh Core Strategy (2014) and Mid Suffolk Core Strategy (2008). The Joint Local Plan seeks to provide a single hierarchy across both Districts, and this Topic Paper classifies ‘Core Villages’, ‘Hinterland Villages’ and ‘Hamlets’. The classification is based on the availability of, or access to, facilities and services, to indicate their relative sustainability as locations for development. Settlements that do not have ten or more well related dwellings have not been identified in the settlement hierarchy.

  • REPONSE to LGBCE DRAFT PROPOSALS Mid Suffolk District
    REPONSE TO LGBCE DRAFT PROPOSALS Mid Suffolk District Council is pleased to have this opportunity to respond to the draft recommendations of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) during this second consultation period. In general, we are content with those draft recommendations however, there are two ward areas in which we would like to propose alternative warding patterns for consideration by the LGBCE. The changes we are proposing in one of those areas do also have minor ‘ripple‐on’ effects into two neighbouring wards. The fact that the counter‐proposals we are now submitting only have a significant effect on three wards out of the twenty six wards proposed in the draft consultation indicates our high level of support for the LGBCE draft proposals. We feel that a good level of electoral equality has been achieved by the LGBCE in these draft proposals whilst reflecting real community interests and identities. For these reasons we feel it is important that we give our observations on all areas and not just comment on those few instances where we would like to see alternative solutions. Western parishes (but referred to as ‘Eastern’ in draft report) We have some reservations about the new two‐member ward of Elmswell & Woolpit. However, we have not been able to devise a workable alternative which does not have extensive and unwelcomed repercussions elsewhere. At our Full Council meeting a number of Members raised concern about the Haughley & Wetherden ward. The concern relates to area in the south of the Haughley ward which fall within Stowmarket Town boundaries.

  • AUGUST 2017 EDITION Message from Cllr Jane Storey
    AUGUST 2017 EDITION Message from Cllr Jane Storey Suffolk Better Broadband August 2017 Update As I reported in the last newsletter, we are delighted to have recently moved above 90% coverage of superfast broadband across the county. Around 315,000 properties now have the option of using fibre broadband, an increase of more than 127,000 from when the Better Broadband for Suffolk programme started deployment in 2013. While this is a major milestone, I would like to reiterate Suffolk County Council’s commitment to provide high-speed internet access for all properties in the county – no-one will be left behind. To get closer to this aspiration, I am pleased to report that the County Council and Openreach have signed an agreement to extend the coverage to 98% of all properties during 2020, reaching around 50,000 more properties than previously planned. This new agreement to reach 98% is a big leap forward, and adds to the significant increase in broadband coverage since we started this work in 2010. We are now facing the toughest challenge – how to connect the remaining 2% of properties, in the most remote locations in Suffolk, to ensure every Suffolk property, regardless of its location, can access high- speed broadband services. This includes lobbying Government to support full rollout to the most rural areas. We are working with local communities in some of the more remote rural areas on innovative solutions to extending broadband coverage, including ‘self-dig’ schemes. One example is Baylham Stone in Mid Suffolk. The village of Baylham is due to get fibre broadband in the next few months, but the small hamlet of Baylham Stone, just over 1km away, was beyond the economic reach of the deployment plan.
