Review. Babergh & Mid-Suffolk Joint Annual Monitoring Report 2015 – 2016 1 SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 This Joint Annual Monitoring Report provides information on the key areas where Planning has a role in the two Districts of Babergh and Mid Suffolk, and covers the period from 1st April 2015 to 31st March 2016. All of the information reported is the most up-to-date available at the time of publication. 1.2 The objectives of the Joint Annual Monitoring Report are to: Report on our Key Indicators e.g. housing completions, demographics etc. (this is what we measure to see how well we are performing) and the progress made towards delivery against the targets set out in our Local Plan documents. Report on the progress made in producing the key Joint Local Plan documents (a complete list of documents can be found in the Councils Joint Local Plan Programme – March 2015) on http://www.babergh.gov.uk/planning-and-building/planning-policy/ or http://www.midsuffolk.gov.uk/planning-and-building/planning-policy/ Report on the use and implementation of our adopted Local Plans and Saved Policies Report on any financial receipts obtained via implementation of the Community Infrastructure Levy. This came into law in 2010 and is the new way of charging all new development to make a cash contribution towards essential infrastructure. Where a Local Planning Authority has co-operated with another such Council or a County Council, or a body or person under section 33A of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, our Monitoring Report must give details of what action they have taken.

  • Appendix 1 Assessment Sheets for Babergh
    Appendix 1 Assessment Sheets for Babergh Sensitivity Assessment Sheets Settlement Name: Bildeston District: Babergh Settlement Description: Bildeston lies about 5 miles north of Hadleigh on the east bank of Bildeston Brook. The settlement is sited at the junction of the main route between Stowmarket to the north and Hadleigh to the south and Monks Eleigh to the west and Needham Market to the east. The valley has cut through the High Suffolk boulder clay with the brook along its base being a tributary of the River Brett, which flows south to join the Stour. Only the farm associated with Bildeston Hall lies on the west bank of the brook, with the rest of the village area centred along the High Street, Chapel Street and Duke Street containing large numbers of listed buildings. The grade I listed Church of St Mary is located some way to the west of the village along Church Lane. The majority of the listed buildings are contained within the Bildeston Conservation Area which stretches the length of the High Street and along Chapel and Duke Streets. The built form within the conservation area comprises a mix of timber framed and brick buildings fronting directly onto the pavement. There is a centrally placed market place with a clock tower, war memorial and telephone box, all listed grade II. Summary History: The earliest evidence of occupation within the settlement dates from the Mesolithic period, with find sites located inside and outside the settlement. An Iron Age sherd of pottery and Roman coins have come from sites along Church Lane within the historic core, and the line of a Roman road runs just to the north of the settlement.

The route covereda distance of nearly forty miles. The start was from the Cornhill, Ipswich, and the first stop was made in Woolverstone Park (by permission of C. H. Berners, Esq.), for members to obtain an opportunity of examining Freston Tower, a familiar landmark standing on the south bank of the Orwell. The Rev. C. R. Durrant, Rector of Freston, acted as guide, and gave an account of the probable origin of the Tower. He has embodied his remarks in the subjoined paper. FRESTON TOWER. BY THEREV. C. R. DURRANT. On July 24th, 1856, the members of the Suffolk Archological Institute made an excursion to Freston Tower, and a paper* was read on the occasion by Mr. Samuel Tymms, in -which he stated that " there is no authority for assigning it to a period so early as the fifteenth century ; or in any way connecting it with the early history of Cardinal Wolsey. Inde- pendent of the style of architecture, which indicates a date full half a century later, it is certain, as Kirby himself has declared, that the tower is unnoticed in a very extensive plan and description of the Manor- house, with its offices and outbuildings in the time of Henry.the Seventh ; that the Wolfferstons,and not • ProceedingsSuff Inst. of Arcbxology, Vol. iii., p. 270.
