Please be as precise as possible, and provide a 100 word summary of each point. The arbitrary allocation of greenfield land that has been and is being cultivated and is in active agricultural use for the provision of 10 residential dwellings in a hamlet without any facilities and even basic infrastructure, adjacent to a very busy and dangerous highway junction, not only goes against the fundamental principle of planning, namely sustainable development, but is also improper, unreasonable and irrational. The draft Joint Local Plan does not provide any proper planning related reason for such a change to the settlement boundary and for the loss of best and most versatile agricultural land other than that the site is owned by MSDC and it has expressed an intention to develop it for 10 residential units. It is of utmost importance that the settlement boundary setting exercise does not allow unsustainable locations to be artificially fitted into the village eroding the overarching principle of sustainable development. The current proposal is not consistent with national policy. The proposed ‘safeguards’ in the draft JLP are ineffective and weak. Once a site is allocated according to policy SP03 ‘New allocations are included within the defined settlement boundaries. The principle of development is established within settlement boundaries, subject to the other policies in the Plan.’ The Parish Council notes that this policy wording was originally contained in Local Policy LP01 but has now been elevated to a Strategic Policy confirming its importance and decisive nature. Accordingly, the site allocation process becomes even more important including the scrutiny of the allocation criteria and the evidence base for the proposed allocations. The existing very serious highway issues at the A1120 junction including danger to all highway users, acute drainage problems and the complete lack of even basic local infrastructure in Pettaugh will not be addressed at the time of any planning application as the allocation of the site would carry great weight/become decisive and the constraints overcome by token mitigation measures. The Parish Council respectfully ask the Planning Inspector to carry out a site visit to the village as part of the examination in public/inquiry. The evidence base for the draft JLP is seriously flawed. The SHELAA, site reference SS0706, identifies some constraints such as highway access, footpath and infrastructure and impact on Protected Species. However, it does not identify the existing, not fit for purpose highway layout and its very concerning highway safety implications nor does it include the lack of facilities in the village. The suitability assessment criteria set out in Appendix A to the SHELAA is not consistently applied to the sites and in relation to SS0706 it has been misapplied. The Parish Council considers that the reasons identified for discounting sites equally applies to this site such as poor access to core services and facilities, not being consistent with the settlement pattern and predicted surface water flooding would affect a large proportion of the site The Topic Paper – Settlement Hierarchy Paper is also erroneous. The distance to the core village is over 2km from Pettaugh and the assessment to access to core services should be downgraded accordingly. The Parish Council notes that the draft JLP does not contain a policy, included in many other development plans in the country, requiring public land to deliver a minimum of 50 percent affordable housing. As the main justification for the inclusion of site in Pettaugh is that it is owned by MSDC and it intends to develop it the draft JLP must ensure that public land is used for the provision of much needed affordable housing. Policy SP02 should be amended as follows: Policy SP02 – Affordable Housing 1. A contribution of 35% affordable housing will be required on sites of ten or more dwellings Pre-Submission (Nov 2020) Paper Representations Form 4 Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Local Plan or 0.5ha or more or 50% for public sector land on all sites regardless of size. The Parish Council also encloses its original submissions dated September 2019 and they form part of the Parish Council’s current submissions. (Continue on a separate sheet if necessary. Please remember to include on any separate sheets the name/organisation and details of which section, paragraph, policy or element of the policies map your representation relates) Section 6: Proposed Modifications to the Joint Local Plan Please set out what modification(s) you consider necessary to make the Joint Local Plan legally compliant or sound, having regard to the test(s) you have identified above where this relates to soundness. (NB Please note that any non-compliance with the Duty to Cooperate is incapable of modification at examination) You will need to say why this modification will make the Joint Local Pre-Submission (Nov 2020) Paper Representations Form 5 Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Local Plan Plan legally compliant or sound. It will be helpful if you are able to put forward your suggested revised wording of any policy or text. Please be as precise as possible. Please see section 5 above for details.

  • The Story of the Pettaugh Village Sign Information Provided by Gordon
    The story of the Pettaugh village sign Information provided by Gordon Janson, Pettaugh Parish Councillor (1991 to 2007). On a warm late spring day in May 1995, the traveller passing through a village along the A1120 would have seen three men engaged in digging a hole in the middle of the village and erecting a stout wooden pole with a sign at the top. The sign depicted a colourful scene, wrought in metal, of a farmer and pair of horses ploughing a furrow in a field, an anvil, a church, the Domesday Book, and a windmill which surmounted the rural landscape. All five features depicted in the scene encapsulated the history of a little village in Suffolk, named on the sign as ‘Pettaugh’. This short account gives the background to the idea for having a village sign in Pettaugh, and the process of design and manufacture of the component parts of the sign. The originator and driving force behind the village sign was Gordon Janson who served as a Pettaugh parish councillor from 1991 to 1995 and then 1997 until 2007, and had been Chairman of the Parish Council from 2001 until 2004. Gordon and his family moved to Pettaugh in 1987 and were the second residents of the new housing development of four detached houses on what had been the ‘Lentins’ meadow along Debenham Way. In his role as parish councillor, he could be frequently seen riding his bicycle around Pettaugh to meet parishioners and discuss any issues they might wish to raise. Many residents expressed the view that they wished to have a village sign but Gordon had realised that the parish council did not have sufficient funds to afford a sign as the village was small and had a modest precept, the local tax on households in the village to cover parish expenses.

After the deposition of Edward II. the election of the conservators of the peace was taken from the people and given to the Kirig. The statute 34 Edw.

After 1590 they were ap- pointed to keep the peace in the particular county named, and to enquire of, and to determine .offences in such county committed. It was ordained by Statute 18 Edw.

    TOGETHER Spring 2019 March to May Distributed free within the Benefice Helmingham Debenham Pettaugh Aspall Framsden KentonFramsden Winston 1 From the Rector A recent article in the Telegraph described Molly Russell as ‘such a caring soul that she did not want to burden her parents with the depression she likened to a storm bearing down on her’. Instead Molly turned to social media where her dark- est thoughts were encouraged by images of self-harm and suicide. In November 2017, after landing the lead role in the school play, after handing in her homework and packing her school bag, Molly took her own life. She was 14 years old. An NHS survey published last year found that one in eight 5 to 19 year olds had at least one mental disorder. Rates of mental disorder increase with age, so that 5.5% of 2 to 4 year olds experience a mental disorder, compared to 16.9% of 17 to 19 year olds. The data from this survey showed that the amount of mental disorder in young people is on the increase. Other research suggests that 50% of mental health problems in adult life take root before the age of 15. Suicide is the biggest killer of people aged 20-34 in the UK. Molly’s desire to ‘protect’ her parents is not uncommon. 51% of young people be- lieve that anyone their age diagnosed with a mental illness would be embarrassed and they believe they would be treated differently. 55% believe they would lose friends. Such horribly sad and scary findings and such a heart-breaking story of Molly Rus- sell.
