A preliminary assessment of the landscape receptors in the study area has been undertaken using zone of theoretical visibility (ZTV) analysis (Figure 28.17) and site survey, to identify which of the landscape receptors are likely to be affected by the construction and operation of the offshore infrastructure. This preliminary assessment is presented in Table A28.1 and Table A28.2 below, which identifies the landscape character types (LCTs) and landscape designations that have the potential to undergo significant effects as a result of the construction and operation of the offshore infrastructure and require to be assessed in full; and those that do not have potential to undergo potential significant effects that can be scoped out of further assessment.

This site lies between two others already exploited in paragraph 116 states that planning this way, and along a quiet country lane. permission for major development (which includes sand and gravel extraction) within an AONB should be refused except in exceptional circumstances where it can be demonstrated that it is in the Public Interest. It states that such proposals should be considered in the light of an assessment of: • the need for the development, including in terms of any national considerations, and the impact of permitting it, or refusing it, upon the local economy; • the cost of, and scope for, developing elsewhere outside the designated area, or meeting the need for it in some other way; and • any detrimental effect on the environment, the landscape and recreational opportunities, and the extent to which that could be moderated.

Migration is tailing off, and by the time you read this Christmas will have come and gone and it will be 2019. Already I’m looking forward to the warmer days of spring and the air being filled with birdsong. But this particular period does have compensations in winter thrushes and wildfowl flocks that come to our relatively warmer Whooper swan. Picture—Tim Kenny climes.

The following Limited, comments are submitted on behalf of Anglian Water. Stewart Having reviewed the report it doesn’t appear to raise any Patience issues of relevance to Anglian Water. Therefore we have no comments relating to the content of the Appropriate Assessment report. Should you have any queries relating to this response please let me know . 102330382 AONB Team, General Comment Overall we accept the conclusions of the Beverley Appropriate Assessment (AA) however we have a number of McClean issues to raise which are discussed below. It is not clear how the recommendations in the 2018 AA will be integrated into the Suffolk County Council Submission Minerals and Waste Plan Local Plan. Any mitigation identified through the AA needs to be integrated into the relevant site specific policies in the document. We have proposed suggested amendments later in this response in relation to this matter. 102330651 AONB Team, Section 2 All the Special Areas of Conservation (SAC), Special Beverley Protection Areas (SPA) and Ramsar sites that could McClean potentially be affected by proposals in the Submission Suffolk Minerals and Waste Plan have been correctly identified in Section 2 of the HRA report. Section 2.3 - Likely Significant Effects We agree with the conclusion set out in paragraph 2.5.1 of the HRA that the proposed allocation of sites M2 Barnham, M4 Cavenham and M7 Wangford and the supporting policies for these sites had the potential to result in likely significant effects and therefore required further consideration through Appropriate Assessment.

    flood risk management Blyth Estuary draft strategy We have overall responsibility for flood risk management in England and Wales. Our aim is to reduce the threat of flooding to people and property whilst achieving the greatest environmental, social and economic benefits in line with the Governments’ principles of sustainable development. Over recent years there have been a number of major flood events, which have increased the demand for resources. In the face of such challenges we need to be sure we are getting the best value for money, and this means making difficult decisions. In many cases we will not be able to sustain the level of defence we have had in the past. To help identify sustainable ways of managing defences in the future, we are preparing flood risk management strategies in many areas. Managing change in the Blyth Estuary Over past decades the Blyth Estuary has undergone significant change, to which local people have adapted. The estuary will continue to change over coming decades and climate change is likely to be the most important influence. Sea levels are likely to rise by up to a metre this century, and it is predicted that there will be more severe storms and tidal surges that will further threaten the flood defences. To date, we have used public money to routinely manage many flood defences. These defences are now nearing the end of their useful life, and it will become increasingly difficult to maintain them in future or build them up in response to climate change. We now need to make important decisions about the future management of the estuary.

Edited by David Tytler and Alan Mackley. Welcome to Blythburgh A brief history of Blythburgh Blythburgh has nearly 1,400 years of recorded history. It was a centre of Anglo-Saxon authority and one of the earliest Christian sites in East Anglia. In 654 the bodies of the Christian Anglian King Anna and his son Jurmin were brought to Blythburgh after they fell at Bulcamp in battle with the Mercian Penda. At the time of the Norman Conquest in 1066 Blythburgh, one of Suffolk’s twelve market towns, had wealth and influence. It was part of the royal estate. The church was one of the richest in the county.. Around 1120 Blythburgh priory was founded when the church was granted by the king to the Augustinian canons of St Osyth. At its peak the priory received income from about 40 Suffolk parishes and the number of canons could have An eighth century writing tablet found in Blythburgh been in double figures.

  • Birds of the Suffolk Coast & Heaths
    Birds of The Suffolk Coast & Heaths Holiday Report 22 - 25 May 2017 Led by Ed Hutchings Greenwings Wildlife Holidays Tel: 01473 254658 Web: www.greenwings.co.uk Email: [email protected] ©Greenwings 2017 Introduction The county of Suffolk, like the rest of East Anglia, is a gem for birding. Few have mastered its diversity. From the River Stour in the south, to the River Waveney and the Broads in the north and from The Brecks in the west to the coast in the east, the county provides something for everyone. The Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a stunning landscape, packed full of wildlife within 155 square miles of tranquil and unspoilt landscape, including wildlife-rich estuaries, ancient heaths, windswept shingle beaches and historic towns and villages. Birding in Suffolk is a joy as the landscape of the county is diverse, and so is the range of wildlife that inhabits it. This bird holiday would focus on spring birds in the wonderful habitats found on the Suffolk coast. Group members: Nigel Baelz, Stuart Barnes and Louise Rowlands. There now follows a summary of the activities and highlights from each day, a photo gallery, and a bird species list at the end. Day 1: Monday 22nd May 2017 The guests were met on a hot sunny day at the Westleton Crown by their guide Ed Hutchings for an introduction and a quick bite to eat. The Westleton Crown is a friendly hotel on the Suffolk coast and would be our base for the break. After checking into the hotel after lunch, we headed south to North Warren RSPB near Aldeburgh for the afternoon.
