In case of abuse or copyright appearing without permission e-mail [email protected] ‘Nuclear prospects’: the siting and construction of Sizewell A power station 1957-1966. 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.

  • 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.

  • Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Local Plan Statement of Common Ground
    Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Local Plan Statement of Common Ground Between Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils and West Suffolk Council March 2021 1. Areas covered by the Statement of Common Ground The Statement of Common Ground relates to the area covered by the local planning authorities of Babergh District Council, Mid Suffolk District Council and West Suffolk Council. Page 1 of 10 2. Authorities covered by the Statement of Common Ground The signatories to this Statement of Common Ground are: • Babergh District Council, • Mid Suffolk District Council, and • West Suffolk Council. Ongoing engagement is being undertaken with Suffolk County Council, the West Suffolk Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and the West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust and this Statement of Common Ground (SoCG) details the current position. An interim SoCG was published alongside the Joint Local Plan (JLP) Pre-Submission (Reg 19) Document (November 2020). 3. Purpose of Statement of Common Ground Local planning authorities have a statutory duty to co-operate with specified bodies in relation to strategic planning matters. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and accompanying Planning Practice Guidance require local authorities to produce a Statement of Common Ground as a written record on progress made for strategic planning matters across local authority boundaries and for this to be kept under review. Prior to the publication of the JLP Pre-Submission (Reg 19) Document, West Suffolk Council raised concerns to planning applications being determined in Thurston and to a lesser extent in Elmswell and Woolpit and the cumulative impact of residential development on public services, especially health, highways and leisure.
