These meetings were advertised by delivering a flyer to every house in the two parishes, and by putting posters on the village notice boards and websites. A letter was also sent to all local businesses and other local organisations. The events were well attended, with 50 people visiting Somerleyton village hall, and 28 people visiting Lound village hall Consultation meeting at Somerleyton Post-it notes for residents’ comments Residents were able to view maps and to comment on various local issues using ”post-it” notes, which proved a very successful way of collecting their views. At the end of the meetings 330 comments had been received, and these were analysed. A summary of the comments which was displayed on the village notice boards and websites, and is shown below: NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 29 Lound with Ashby, Herringflet, and Somerleyton Neighbourhood Plan CONSULTATION DAY 13TH NOVEMBER 2016 THE KEY ISSUES RAISED BY THE COMMUNITY WERE: Housing. Avoid building new houses on some specified sites, although some acceptable sites were identified. The Blundeston prison site and brownfield sites in Lowestoft are more suitable. New development should be limited to small houses.

Introduction 1.1 Lound and Ashby, Herringfleet & Somerleyton are adjoining parishes in the north of Suffolk. The area is rural, with much of the land being used for agriculture. The main settlement areas are the villages of Somerleyton and Lound, with smaller settlements at Herringfleet and Ashby, together with some scattered farmhouses and converted farm buildings or farm workers’ cottages. The two parishes have a combined area of around 2020 hectares, and a total population of around 780 (2011 census). 1.2 Early in 2016 the two parish councils agreed to work together to develop a joint neighbourhood plan. A steering group consisting of residents and Parish Councillors was set up to lead the work. 1.3 One of the initial pieces of work was to agree and gain acceptance from the former Waveney District Council (now East Suffolk Council) and the Broads Authority for the designated Neighbourhood Area.

It is in the very north of the county, about 2 miles inland from the North Sea, and sits between the towns of Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft, close to the North Sea coast. Blundeston Prison, located on the southern edge of the village, closed following a restructuring of the prison estate in 2013. The site has since been sold to a property developer for £3m. Flixton is the smaller of the two parishes with a population of under 50. The parish church, St. Andrews, has lain in ruins since a storm in 1703.

  • Examine the Value of Place-Names As Evidence for the History, Landscape And, Especially, Language(S) of Your Chosen Area
    Examine the value of place-names as evidence for the history, landscape and, especially, language(s) of your chosen area Ruut Korpinen Introduction The material studied here (see Appendix I) comprises 41 parish-names from the north-east corner of the historic county of Suffolk. The area is roughly bordered by the River Waveney in the north and west, the River Blyth in the south and the North Sea in the east (see Appendix II). The following discussion examines what the place-names reveal about the area and its British, Roman, Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian and Norman past. The first section focuses on people and languages, and the second takes a look at the landscape and culture. People and languages The Britons and the Romans The Britons who inhabited the country before the Anglo-Saxons arrived have left no certain signs of themselves in the present-day place-names of Suffolk (Briggs and Kilpatrick 2016: xi). Nevertheless, the corpus contains two names which possibly stem from their language. Beccles may be wholly Brittonic in origin, comprising *bacc ‘small’ + *liss ‘court’ (Coates and Breeze 2000: 335). If so, the name suggests an ancient British settlement and has perhaps survived as a toponym for an important centre of power. By the time of Domesday Book, at least, Beccles had developed into the major town of north- east Suffolk (Wade and Dymond 1999). Another potential Brittonic name is Ellough, the etymology of which is unclear. Many scholars have interpreted it as a derivative of Old English (OE) ealh or Old Norse (ON) elgr ‘heathen temple’, but these interpretations are questionable.
