This reflects the strategy of the Plan which looks to create two new Garden Neighbourhoods to the north of Felixstowe and the south of Saxmundham, respond to opportunities presented by transport connections, and sustain and enhance the vitality of the rural parts of the District. 12.2 The areas are considered below in Settlement Hierarchy order, following the section on Neighbourhood Plans, as follows: Neighbourhood Plans Approach to Site Allocations Strategy for Felixstowe Strategy for Communities to the East of Ipswich Strategy for Aldeburgh Strategy for Leiston Strategy for Framlingham Strategy for Saxmundham Strategy for Woodbridge Strategy for the Rural Areas Neighbourhood Plans 12.3 Neighbourhood Plans were introduced through the Localism Act 2011 and enable communities to produce their own policies and to allocate sites for development. It is for Town and Parish Councils to decide whether they wish to produce a Neighbourhood Plan and where they do the District Council has a supporting role in the production of the Plan. Across the District, a number of communities have sought to develop their own plan, with a total of 18 Neighbourhood Plan areas designated (see Table 12.1 and map below).

Abstract This paper examines the siting and construction of a Magnox nuclear power station on the Suffolk coast. The station was initially welcomed by local politicians as a solution to unemployment but was criticised by an organised group of local communist activists who predicted how the restriction zone would restrict future development. Oral history interviews provide insights into conditions on the construction site and the social effects on the nearby town. Archive material reveals the spatial and development restrictions imposed with the building of the power station, which remains on the shoreline as a monument to the ‘atomic age’. This material is contextualised in the longer economic and social history of a town that moved from the shadow of nineteenth century paternalistic industry into the glare of the nuclear construction program and became an early example of the eclipsing of local democracy by the centralised nuclear state.

  • England Coast Path Report 2 Sizewell to Dunwich
    www.gov.uk/englandcoastpath England Coast Path Stretch: Aldeburgh to Hopton-on-Sea Report AHS 2: Sizewell to Dunwich Part 2.1: Introduction Start Point: Sizewell beach car park (grid reference: TM 4757 6300) End Point: Dingle Marshes south, Dunwich (grid reference: TM 4735 7074) Relevant Maps: AHS 2a to AHS 2e 2.1.1 This is one of a series of linked but legally separate reports published by Natural England under section 51 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, which make proposals to the Secretary of State for improved public access along and to this stretch of coast between Aldeburgh to Hopton-on-Sea. 2.1.2 This report covers length AHS 2 of the stretch, which is the coast between Sizewell and Dunwich. It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 2.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.
