  • February 2019 Newsletter
    for Issue Feb 2019 Connecting Communities ince becoming leader of Suffolk County Council, I have continued to keep broadband at the top of my agenda. I am pleased to tell you that the Better Broadband for Suffolk program has Sreached a new milestone, 93% of homes and businesses across Suffolk can now upgrade to a Superfast Broadband service. This is fantastic news and means an overwhelming majority of residents, businesses and organisations can now enjoy the benefits of faster and more reliable internet speeds. But as a resident and a councillor of a rural ward where some premises still do not enjoy these benefits, I know we have further to go. We already have a contract in place for Openreach to extend fibre broadband coverage to 98% of all Suffolk premises by 2020. But even beyond this, we are committed to reaching 100% Superfast Broadband coverage in Suffolk as quickly as possible. So, if you haven’t already done so, check if Superfast Broadband is available where you live by following the simple steps below, but don’t forget, even if broadband is available, you will need to upgrade your connection to enjoy the benefits of the higher speeds. I look forward to updating you on our future progress. Cllr. Matthew Hicks Leader of Suffolk County Council and Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Infrastructure Here are three simple steps to upgrade Step 1 Finding out whether Better Broadband is available to your postcode Visit our website at www.betterbroadbandsuffolk.com/upgrade-now. Just having the ability to connect doesn’t mean you automatically have Superfast Broadband.

  • 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.

  • Conservation Area Appraisal
    Conservation Area Appraisal Introduction The conservation area in Great Waldingfield 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 Great Waldingfield 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 Great Waldingfield’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 Great Waldingfield lies about two miles north-east of the market town of Sudbury in south-west Suffolk, and about four miles south of the historic village of Lavenham. It is situated on an area of higher land between 60 and 70 m above O.D., just east of a large level area that served as a WWII airfield.

Topographical Framework The village of Boxford lies in south-west Suffolk, about five miles west of Hadleigh and six miles east of the market town of Sudbury. It is situated in the valley of the River Box, which flows south-eastwards from its rising near the Waldingfields to eventually join the River Stour just below Thorington Street in the parish of Stoke by Nayland. The village lies mainly along the arc of the former A1071, crossing the river near the Church, as well as along Swan Street that comes off the old main road, heading north-westwards towards the adjoining village of Groton.
