  • 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.

  • Sizewell C Nuclear Power Station Stage 1
    SIZEWELL C NUCLEAR POWER STATION STAGE 1 - PRE-APPLICATION CONSULTATION RAMBLERS ASSOCIATION RESPONSE The consultation documents make very brief reference to public rights of way in Paragraph 3.6 ("Walking and Cycling") and merely mention the current situation. A map showing "Existing rights of way , Access Routes and Accessible Lane" is appended to Environmental Report as Figure 4.4.1 in Appendix B. Our comments cover three main aspects of the application, first the disruption to existing rights of way and access caused during construction of and following the development, secondly what improvements to the rights of way network and public access facilities might be brought about by planning gain and thirdly aesthetic considerations. We are concerned about the disruption to the existing rights of way network during construction. Of particular concern would be any temporary closure of Public Footpath Leiston 21 running north to south between the eastern boundary of the power station site and the sea. This path carries both the Suffolk Coastal and Heaths and the Sandlings Walk recreational routes and of course will form part of the English Coastal Path when established under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009. Enquiries elicit confused information on this. We seek assurance that any temporary closure during the construction of the proposed jetty be kept to an absolute minimum and that a means of ensuring safe passage across the jetty approach and along the sea front is maintained at all times once the jetty is built and in use. The Sandlings Walk recreational route is carried also by the path joining Footpath 21 and running westwards outside the northern edge of the present power station site and onwards through to the network of paths around Goose Hills, Kenton Hills and Leiston Common.

  • Waveney Ramblers Sandlings Walks 0 Sandlings Walk - 13 Circular Routes
    Waveney Ramblers Sandlings Walks 0 Sandlings Walk - 13 Circular Routes OS Map: X 197 Track: TM 19650 44448 GPX for SatNav 60 / 120 Miles Updated: 2020-11-05 The Sandlings Walk starts from Rushmere Heath and heads north and east to Southwold. An alternative start point is at Bixley Heath one mile to the south. This guide splits the route into thirteen circular walks. The waymarked Sandlings route is about 60 miles long. These circular routes total 123 miles. The Suffolk Sandlings are areas of heathland with poor sandy soil. This habitat has become rare and valuable. Much of the terrain has been converted to arable farm land or forest plantations. The walk is well signposted. Look out for sculptures at intervals along the route. The habitats are very diverse and there are some fine views. As well as forest, heath and arable crops, expect pig farms and huge areas of mown lawn, some of which have been harvested for rolls of turf. Clay clogged boots are unlikely in this sandy terrain. GPX and KML DOWNLOADS During November 2018, the entire walk was logged using a Garmin eTrex 20 hand-held GPS receiver. The downloadable track logs are quite accurate and generally better than similar offerings on-line that were created from maps without actually doing the walk! Several downloads copy each other and get the Kesgrave start/end point wrong. MAPS from OpenStreetMap OpenStreetMap allows you to copy, distribute, transmit and adapt their data, as long as it's credited to OpenStreetMap and its contributors. The maps in this guide add track logs to OpenStreetMap.
