Site Allocations and Area Specific Policies Local Plan Document, Issues and Options Consultation document 15 Dec 14 - 27 Feb 15 B. Wickham market Parish Council response dated 12 Jan 15 24 February 2015 Dear Sir SITE ALLOCATIONS AND AREA SPECIFIC POLICIES LOCAL PLAN DOCUMENT A Public Meeting was held on 12 Feb 2015 to brief the residents of Wickham Market on the Suffolk Coastal District Council (SCDC) Local Plan and it was attended by 107 people. The brief was given by the Chairman of the Parish Council, Cllr R Jenkinson, and he gave an overview of the Local Plan documents. In particular he covered how Wickham Market may be affected in future. It was explained that, despite the fact that Wickham Market had not been allocated any houses to be built by 2027, it was likely that the village would have to accept some development before that date. The draft Local Plan shows that there are three sites in Wickham Market that are suitable for development, these are sites 776l, 776i and 617. Site 617 at 43 Dallinghoo Road is currently being developed. Site 776l is the Glebe Allotments and Site 776i is the field to the east of the Glebe Allotments and to the west of Spring Lane. The contents of the letter sent by Wickham Market Parish Council to SCDC on 12 Jan 15, Reference B, regarding the “Site Allocations and Area Specific Policies Local Plan Document” were briefed and there was unanimous agreement with the sentiment of the letter. However, it was felt that an additional letter should be sent to SCDC to clarify certain points and reinforce the initial comments. There was unanimous agreement that site 776l should not be developed and should be classed as “Unsuitable for Development” in the SHLAA. The reasons given in Reference B are extant. In addition it should be noted that the Local Plan highlighted that Wickham Market was deficient in green infrastructure and building on the allotments would only make the situation much worse. There was such strong feeling that the Glebe Allotments should not be built on that it was felt that this site should become part of the “Area to be Protected from Development” within the village. This would make site 776i untenable as the only suitable access is through site 776l. Three alternative sites for development were discussed. Of the sites discussed 66% of those attending felt that, if Wickham Market had to accept further development in the near future, then it should be on the 1.38Ha site 421 as this was the only site with suitable access. It was noted that this was in a Special Landscape Area (SLA), however 776l and 776i are also in SLAs. The other two sites had some potential, but there were many factors to be considered and it was felt that these factors should be researched further in order to come up with the best solution. This further research would be best completed during the writing of a Wickham Market Neighbourhood Plan. The area to the north of the Riverside Industrial estate was considered to be the best place to allocate any land required for employment/light industrial use within the Wickham Market CP. However, there was general agreement that the vacant business premises in Pettistree and Lower Hacheston should be used in advance of any site in Wickham Market. There was thought to be merit in widening the area considered for the Wickham Market Neighbourhood Plan to include Lower Hacheston and Pettistree. No agreement has been sought, as yet, from these neighbouring parishes. In summary Wickham Market Parish Council, with the full support of many residents, request that SCDC: a. Change the designation of sites 776l and 776i to “Unsuitable for Development” b. Additionally protect the site 776l by making it part of the “Area to be Protected from Development” c. Request that Wickham Market be allowed the time to develop a Neighbourhood Plan which should earmark some sites for development having resolved those issues that currently make these sites unacceptable. d. Accept the fact that if a site has to be found before the Neighbourhood Plan work is complete then it should be site 421. We understand that, even though the Martlesham Heath development appears to have been given the green light to proceed, the requirement for houses is likely to rise from 7,900 to11,000. Consequently Wickham Market may need to accept some housing development before 2027. It would be vastly preferable if this development was done in the preferred location of the Wickham Market residents. We look forward to your response. Yours sincerely Richard Jenkinson Chairman Wickham Market Parish Council .

  • The Parishes of Brandeston and Kettleburgh
    THE PARISHES OF BRANDESTON AND KETTLEBURGH Dear Friends I have been thinking about what some people call the Global Village in which we live. China has frequently featured in the media in recent months. As I write, news of the preparations for the Olympic Games, the journey of the flame and expressions of concern for the well-being of the Tibetan people have been almost completely superseded by horrific images of the earthquake that has ravaged Sichuan Province and caused almost unimaginable casualties, wiping out established towns and villages. And there is another disaster that has caught our attention; a crippling cyclone, whose impact on the Irrawaddy Delta region of Burma is causing a death-toll which, so relief agencies and experts from elsewhere in the world say, will continue to rise if Burma’s oppressive regime does not allow them open access to the devastated areas. From Southern Africa, dreadful stories continue to emerge, following the still- unresolved elections in Zimbabwe, of merciless political oppression being visited upon an entirely helpless population despite the attempts of the regime to prevent the news getting out. And we hear that Beirut seems set for another summer of violence as the turmoil and agony of the Palestinian people boils over and can no longer be contained within the West Bank and Gaza City. And so the stories go on. We may be tempted to shut our ears to this summer of horror. After all, if we are looking for bad news, we don’t have to go to the other side of the world to find it.

  • Fynn - Lark Ews May 2019
    Fynn - Lark ews May 2019 HIGHWAYS AND BYWAYS May is traditionally a month to enjoy the great outdoors in mild and fragrant weather. Whether that means looking for a romantic maypole to dance around, trying to stay ahead of the rapid garden growth or merely enjoying the longer days and busy birdsong, it is for some a month to get outside and appreciate the English countryside we have access to, right on our doorsteps. This year sees the 70th anniversary of the creation of our National Parks – not that we have one in easy reach in Suffolk – but the same legislation required all English Parish Councils to survey all their footpaths, bridleways and byways, as the start of the legal process to record where the public had a right of way over the countryside.

  • The Rectors of Martlesham
    THE RECTORS OF MARTLESHAM By HAROLD R. LINGWOOD. The long continuity of Christian worship at Martlesham has extended from the reign of Edward the Confessor down to the present year. Of those who held the cure of souls here in Norman and early Plantagenet times nothing is known. There seems, however, to be an unbroken sequence of rectors from the early years of Edward I. None appears to have risen to eminence. It may be that the seclusion of the place attracted men ' who would ambition shun.' Once installed, they were out of the eye of authority and promotion passed them by. The longest rectorate was that of John Steffe, extending to 59 years (1639-1698)' the next being that of Ernest George Doughty, 54 years (1861-1915). Between the coming of the first George Doughty in 1698 to the resignation of his descendant, Frederic Ernest Doughty in 1944, a period of 246 years, the living was held by members of that family (George, George Clarke, Ernest George, Frederic Ernest) and their near connections (Thomas Goodwin, Thomas D'Eye Betts) for a total of 218 years. The patronage, which came to them through the marriage of George Doughty of Theberton Hall to Anne, youngest daughter of John Goodwin of Martlesham Hall, in 1758, is still in Doughty hands. The details contained in the following list have been consider- ably condensed, in order to save space. Unless otherwise stated, the dates are taken from the Institution Books at Norwich; the name of the patron, when known, follows that of the Incumbent.
