  • History of Sunderland, 1899; History of Sunderland, Vol
    TOWN OF SUNDERLAND - A BRIEF HISTORY Sunderland, Massachusetts, is one of the southernmost towns in Franklin County. The community is situated in the eastern portion of the Connecticut River Valley in western Massachusetts. Sunderland was incorporated as a town in 1718. Before being incorporated, Sunderland was known as Swampfield, so named by its first settlers because of the swampland within the town. Settlement of the town originated on what is now North and South Main Streets, with forty designated house lots. Settlers were also assigned an equal percentage of swampland, pasture land, and wood lots. North and South Main Streets are scenic, broad avenues that appeal to our sensor of what a small New England town should be. In the late 1820’s, maple trees were planted on each side of the street, which has added to Sunderland’s beauty, especially as leaves change color, or after a snowfall. The houses are a pleasing mix of sizes and styles; in fact, Sunderland’s main street has examples of most of the architectural styles of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Mount Toby range is another source of beauty and historic background. A watchtower is at the peak along with a commanding view of the river valley. The north part of Mt. Toby is the home of the “Sunderland Cave.” It is not technically a cave, but huge slabs of tipped conglomerate rock. Caves are rare in this part of New England, which has made this one more widely known. Sunderland’s first Irish immigrants located their homes on Mt. Toby in the mid-nineteenth century, which were known as “paddy farms.” Trails are still evident, along with old stone walls marking boundary lines.

  • APPENDIX 1 Policy Context 1. Sunderland City Council Is
    APPENDIX 1 Policy Context 1. Sunderland City Council is consulting on a Draft Core Strategy and Development Plan (CSDP). The plan is the first published draft of Sunderland’s emerging Core Strategy, and the current consultation follows consultation carried out in summer 2016 on growth and development options. 2. The draft CSDP identifies several “housing release sites”, situated around Springwell Village, and to the North of Washington, proposed within the plan for deletion from the Green Belt, and allocation for residential development. The draft plan considers development of land in the Green Belt is necessary to meet housing needs identified for the City. 3. The Council shares borders with Sunderland City Council and as such development of these sites, and other strategic planning issues set out within the CSDP have potential to affect Gateshead. The current consultation gives the Council the opportunity to provide a formal response on the emerging policies, including proposed site allocations of the Sunderland Local Plan. 4. The scale of housing need identified in the CSDP (at an average of 768 dwellings per year) is considerably higher than the level of housing need indicated by past demographic trends related to Sunderland. The CSDP argues that a higher level of housing growth is required to support jobs growth in the City, and makes clear that a strategic priority of the emerging Local Plan is to reduce the trend of outward migration from Sunderland to its neighbouring local authority areas. 5. Sunderland City Council is yet to reach agreement with its neighbouring areas regarding the potential cross-boundary impacts of its planned housing growth.
