  • Joint Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council Landscape Guidance August 2015
    Joint Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council Landscape Guidance August 2015 Joint Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council Landscape Guidance 2015 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The landscape of Babergh and Mid Suffolk (South and North Suffolk) is acknowledged as being attractive and an important part of why people choose to live and work here. However current pressures for development in the countryside, and the changing agricultural and recreational practices and pressures, are resulting in changes that in some instances have been damaging to the local character and distinctiveness of the landscape. 1.1.1 Some development is necessary within the countryside, in order to promote a sustainable prosperous and vibrant rural economy. However, such development would be counterproductive if it were to harm the quality of the countryside/landscape it is set within and therefore the quality of life benefits, in terms of health and wellbeing that come from a rural landscape in good condition.1 1.1.2 The Council takes the view that there is a need to safeguard the character of both districts countryside by ensuring new development integrates positively with the existing character. Therefore, a Landscape Guidance has been produced to outline the main elements of the existing character and to outline broad principles that all development in the countryside will be required to follow. 1.1.3 Well designed and appropriately located development in the countryside can capture the benefits of sustainable economic development whilst still retaining and enhancing valuable landscape characteristics, which are so important to Babergh and Mid Suffolk. 1.1.4 The protection and enhancement of both districts landscape is essential not only for the intrinsic aesthetic and historic value that supports tourism and the economy for the area but also to maintain the quality of life for the communities that live in the countryside.

    Minutes of the Committee Meeting of the Shotley Peninsula Cycling Campaign Held at Hill Cottage, Harkstead, at 10.30am, on Monday 14th March 2016 Present: Mike Crouch, Cathy Crouch, Tony Gould, Jane Goyder, Mike Havard, Rosie Kirkup, Sally Williams 1. Apologies: Giles Goyder, Karla Powell. 2. Community Path a) Ipswich to Freston section: we are still waiting for a response from Oyster Properties regarding the proposed route which would pass along the edge of land in its ownership. MC suggested that he writes to Oyster properties again, asking if we can assume that they are happy with our proposals and won`t raise objections when the planning application is submitted. The Pauls want us to look again at the actual crossing point the route would take from the river side of the B1456 to go up the concrete access road to Suffolk Food Hall. b) Shotley section: no change to report, as the Ganges development is now on hold due to Woolverstone Parish Council applying for a judicial review. TG recently received an email from the Shotley Parish Clerk regarding a meeting that had been held with County Highways regarding the lack of footway in front of Little Oaks at the northern end of Shotley Gate. 3. Ganges Planning application: See above. 4. Report from sub-committee: On Wednesday 9th March, TG and MC attended a meeting of Woolverstone Parish Council to talk about the path, and to explain that the SPCC does not have a solution to getting through Woolverstone off-road, and would be grateful for their suggestions.

  • Woolverstone Parish Council
    Submission from Woolverstone Parish Council As we understand it, the aim of the electoral review is to recommend ward boundaries that mean: 1. Each councillor represents approximately the same number of voters. 2. Ensure that the pattern of wards reflects the interests and identities of local communities 3. Promoting effective local government. We do not feel in Woolverstone that the recommendations as they stand reflect the interests and identities of villages on the Shotley peninsula. In addition that the proposed ward of "Chelmondistan" deprives us of a constituency which includes our Surgery and our Local Academy. It also excludes one of the main shopping areas on the Peninsula Furthermore, the proposals ignore our historical connectivity through the Berners estate. In addition, they fail to notice the road network connections and take into account the integrity of the area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which covers a large area of the Shotley Peninsula Woolverstone Parish Council does not agree with your proposals for the Shotley Peninsula as expressed in the “Draft recommendations on the new electoral arrangements for Babergh District Council.” We also note that no reference was made to Woolverstone’s submission when discussing issues on the Shotley Peninsula in the section “Chelmondistan” p9. Firstly, we are at a loss to understand the chosen spelling of “Chelmondistan” as the name for the ward it is proposed Woolverstone is part of. This must be a misspelling, surely. Secondly, we agree with the ward of Shotley having a single councillor and including Erwarton. We suggest the name of Ganges for this ward recognising the historical connections.

  • Shotley Gate Conservation Area Appraisal
    Shotley Gate conservation area appraisal Introduction The idea of a conservation area covering the HMS Ganges site at Shotley Gate was put forward during 2010. The Council has a duty to review its conservation area designations from time to time, and following an initial investigation, this more detailed appraisal has now been produced in line with the Council’s other appraisals. This appraisal examines Shotley Gate under a number of different headings as set out in English Heritage’s new ‘Guidance on Conservation Area Appraisals’ (2006). As such it is a straightforward appraisal of Shotley Gate’s built environment in conservation terms, which is felt sufficient to justify the area’s designation as a conservation area. As a document it is neither prescriptive nor overly descriptive, but more a demonstration of ‘quality of place’, sufficient for the briefing of the Planning Officer when assessing proposed works in the area. The photographs and maps are thus intended to contribute as much as the text itself. As the English Heritage guidelines point out, the appraisal is to be read as a general overview, rather than as a comprehensive listing, and the omission of any particular building, feature or space does not imply that it is of no interest in conservation terms. Text, photographs and map overlays by Patrick Taylor, Conservation Architect, Babergh District Council 2011. Topographical Framework Shotley Gate is a small settlement right on the tip of the Shotley peninsula, where the Rivers Orwell and Stour meet. The county town of Ipswich, at the head of the Orwell estuary, lies ten miles to the north-west, whilst the villages of Brantham in Suffolk and Manningtree in Essex face each other across the head of the Stour estuary a similar distance west.

    FOREWORDS "I congratulate everyone who has contributed to this Parish Plan. It is an excellent initiative and helps to point the way forward for Tattingstone. I hope that the village continues to flourish and to provide a healthy, lively and attractive environment for all the people and families who live here." Tim Yeo MP “I would like to congratulate Rodney Chadburn and his team for the production of the Tattingstone Village Plan. The publishing of this plan has been made possible by a lot of hard work over the past few months by his team. This, however, should be just the start. The village as a whole have been inv olved in giving their views about how they wish to see their village evolve over the next few years. By working in partnership with the County & District Council and other agencies many of the targets identified within this plan will be bought to fruition. This plan will be an extremely useful tool in obtaining funding to enable the Parish Council and other organisations to complete a great many of the projects.” Dave Wood “I am pleased to be Chairman of Tattingstone Parish Council at this time when our Parish Plan has been drawn up. I would like to thank Rodney Chadburn and the other members of the working group for completing this demanding project. The Parish Council will work with other village organisations with a view to prioritising and implementing the actions recommended in the report.” Brandon Plumbly i INDEX Page 1.

  • New Look District Wards for Peninsula the Shotley Peninsula
    Chelmo District Council Report August 7 2018 New Look District Wards For Peninsula The Shotley peninsula will get a new look ward structure after the Boundary Commission released its final recommendations for Babergh District Council. Newly named Ganges, Stour and Orwell wards will replace the bulk of the current two-member Berners and one member Holbrook wards and overlap into Belstead and Tattingstone. The Local Government Boundary Commission For England (LGBCE) had originally looked at making much of the peninsula a three-member ward, but representations by Holbrook councillor David Rose, supported by Shotley councillor Derek Davis and a couple of parish councils, pointed out that would be unworkable and the panel agreed. Ganges, named after the former Royal Navy Training Establishment, will comprise of Shotley and Erwarton and be looked after by just one district councillor. Boundary commissioners took into account of development at the former Ganges site, comprising of 285 new homes, a small hotel, residential care home, a café, retail units and a number of community facilities, which would add to the electorate. Stour ward, named after the mouth of the river, will also be a one-member ward and will now take in Harkstead, Holbrook and Stutton, making it slightly larger than the current ward. On the other side of the peninsula Orwell ward, will also be a one-member ward but will include Belstead, Wherstead and Tattingstone along with Freston, Woolverstone and Chelmondiston. Brantham will become a one-member ward as expected growth will also boost the electorate there. The division of those four wards means the same geographical area will lose one district councillor.
