The first floor accommodation provides for an open plan kitchen/dining/living area, bedroom and bathroom and will be lit by four new dormer windows on the south facing roof slope. Block 2 is to the south of North Courtyard and seeks to convert one of the five ground floor garage spaces to a cloak room, study and stairs up to the first floor. The first floor accommodation provides for an open plan kitchen/dining/living area, bedroom and bathroom and will be lit by three new dormer windows on the south facing roof slope and two velux windows in the north facing roof slope. 2. Access to these units are through the existing site which is gated and accessed off Herringswell Road. Block 1 has a timber cycle store to accommodate two cycles and two parking spaces and a visitor space provided immediately adjacent to the block. Block 2 has a defined curtilage to the rear of the garage block with cycle storage within the garden space. Two parking spaces are provided to the east within 50m of block 2. Application Supporting Material: 3. Application form and plans Heritage Statement Design & Access Statement Report on Commercial Uses Site Details: 4. The two garage blocks fall within the wider Herringswell Manor site which is a gated residential community. Herringswell Manor is an early twentieth century Grade II listed large country house. It is situated in a countryside location, approximately 1.6km from Herringswell, which is a small settlement as defined within the Forest Heath Core Strategy. The site is accessed via a gated private driveway from Herringswell Road which services Herringswell Manor and a number of other buildings. These buildings formed part of a Japanese Buddhist boarding school that previously operated from the site, closing in 2001. Planning consent for the residential conversion of these buildings was first granted in 2004. Since this time, it is understood that there are 52 dwelling units within the various buildings across the site. The former gymnasium building to the south also has permission to be converted to a further 15 residential units. (see planning history below). Planning History: 5. The site has an extensive planning history, but the applications listed below are most relevant to the consideration of this application: F/2006/0925/FUL Erection of 5 single garages adjacent to Coach House (Development affecting the setting of a listed building) amended by plans received on the 29th December 2006 – approved – this relates to garage block 2 F/2006/0926/FUL Erection of 6 single garages to the West of cottages (Development affecting the setting of a listed building) amended by plans received on the 29th December 2006 – approved – this relates to garage block 1 F/2005/0201/COU Conversion of existing dormitories to provide 30 dwellings.

DC/15/0802/FUL Planning Application - Change of use of existing redundant gymnasium building to 15 dwellings (3 x one-bedroom apartments, 6 x two-bedroom apartments, 6 x three-bedroom apartments), residential office unit, new residential gym facility and ancillary works – refused, but allowed on appeal. Consultations: 6. Public Health & Housing – No objection SCC Highways – 19/6/19 – requested clarification about parking provision and displaced parking 28/10/19 – no objection, confirming any highway related issues were unlikely to impact on the public highway due to the nature of the site Environment Team – no objection subject to a condition to secure an electric vehicle charging point Conservation Officer – No objection subject to a condition to secure window details Planning policy – proposal does not comply with DM28 and DM33 as the buildings are still in use and therefore not redundant or disused. Representations: 7. Herringswell Parish Council object raising the following concerns: The site is in an unsustainable location. The village of Herringswell has very few amenities and transport links. The site is in the countryside and the development is contrary to policy. Loss of garages/storage for people who currently live at The Manor. Garages in high demand/waiting list. Over development of the site. Current and future occupiers at The Manor are reliant on the private car. Roads not capable of accommodating more traffic/ impact upon highway safety. Existing problems with Foul drainage. Condition attached to original permission which sort to retain the garages for off-road parking. 8. 15 letters of representation were received, 14 objecting and one neutral comment between them raising the following summarised points: The site is in an unsustainable location with few facilities/ services. The site is in the countryside. Loss of storage / garages for residents. Additional traffic / cars Parking already an issue at the site and what’s shown is also proposed for the gym redevelopment Problems with foul drainage. Overlooking / loss of privacy. Over development of the site. Using this as a test case to enable development of other garages on the site Communal bin store can’t cope with present loads Increased pressure on quiet enjoyment of the environment Loss of communal gardens and mature planting to provide parking and private garden space Dust and noise from construction/conversion works Noise associated with additional dwellings (copies of representations made can be read in full on the Council’s website) Policy: 9. On 1 April 2019 Forest Heath District Council and St Edmundsbury Borough Council were replaced by a single Authority, West Suffolk Council. The development plans for the previous local planning authorities were carried forward to the new Council by Regulation. The Development Plans remain in place for the new West Suffolk Council and, with the exception of the Joint Development Management Policies document (which had been adopted by both Councils), set out policies for defined geographical areas within the new authority. It is therefore necessary to determine this application with reference to policies set out in the plans produced by the now dissolved Forest Heath District Council. 10.The Development Plan comprises the policies set out in the Single Issue Review of Core Strategy Policy CS7 (adopted September 2019), the Site Allocations Local Plan (adopted September 2019), Joint Development Management Policies document (adopted February 2015) and the Core Strategy Development Plan document (adopted May 2010). The following policies from these plans are applicable to the proposal: Joint Development Management Policies Document: Policy DM1 Presumption in Favour of Sustainable Development Policy DM2 Creating Places Development Principles and Local Distinctiveness Policy

  • The Reduced Population and Wealth of Early Fifteenth
    THE REDUCED POPULATION AND WEALTH OF EARLY FIFTEENTH-CENTURY SUFFOLK by DAVID DYMOND, M.A., F.S.A. and ROGER VIRGOE, PH.D., F.R.HIST.S. IN THE SESSION of Parliament which met between 27 January and 25 March 1428, the Council governing England during Henry VI's minority asked for subsidies to pay for the continuing war in France and for the safe-keeping of the sea. In response the Commons made three grants.' The first was of tunnage and poundage for a year; the second a grant of 6s. 8d. per knight' s fee, a traditional and by now obsolescent feudal aid; the third was a novel, if not quite unprecedented, tax levied on parishes and not, like the normal fifteenth and tenth, on townships.' The last of these grants is the most interesting. Payment had to be made by each rural parish which had ten households or more. If the living of the church was assessed for clerical taxes at less than ten marks, householders were to pay half a mark (6s. 8d.); if it was assessed at ten marks or more, they were to pay at the rate of one mark (13s. 4d.) for each ten marks' valuation. In boroughs the householders of each parish were to pay at the rate of 2s. for every £1 in the valuation of the living. Those parishes which contained fewer than ten households were exempt from payment. It is not the purpose of this paper to examine the reasons for this peculiar hybrid tax, which was not repeated.' For the local historian the most interesting information in the returns is the listing of exempt parishes with small populations.
