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.

  • 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.

  • The House and Gardens of Combs Hall, Near Stowmarket
    THE HOUSE AND GARDENSOF COMBS HALL,NEAR STOWMARKET:A SURVEYBYTHE ROYALCOMMISSION ON THE HISTORICAL MONUMENTS OF ENGLAND byEDWARD MARTINI andALASTAIR OSWALD2 IN MARCH 1994 the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (R.C.H.M.E.) surveyed the earthwork remains of the gardens of Combs Hall at the request of the Archaeology Section of Suffolk County Council. The remains lie adjacent to the Church of St Mary at Combs, near Stovvmarket, in central Suffolk (NGR TM 0511 5684). Combs Hall was a building of considerable- architectural grandeur, built in 1724 for Orlando Bridgeman Esq. and demolished in 1756. While the few surviving outbuildings permitted only limited architectural analysis by R.C.H.M.E., the earthworks of the contemporary garden are extensive and well- preserved. The main earthworks were surveyed by the Ordnance Survey in 1884 and are shown on the first edition 1:2500 scale map of 1885 (and on subsequent editions). The first reference in prMt to the remains was in 1919, following a visit by the Revd Edmund Farrer of Botesdale, a very observant local antiquarian who made notes on a large number of historic houses and sites in the county. However the detailed interpretation of the earthworks only started after an estate map of 1741 was brought into the Suffolk Record Office in 1991 (Jones 1991). The gardens, with their formal design, are in most respects characteristic of the early 18th century, but are of considerable interest in that they are tightly dated, were recorded in detail on a contemporary estate map, and were almost immediately fossilised by the abandonment of the house.

  • Biodiversity Distribution
    Waveney Open Space Needs Assessment | July 2015 Biodiversity Distribution Biodiversity refers to all of the natural world and all living organisms within it including plants, animals, bacteria and micro organisms. www.waveney.gov.uk/planningpolicy 19 Waveney Open Space Needs Assessment | July 2015 | Biodiversity Distribution www.waveney.gov.uk/planningpolicy 20 Waveney Open Space Needs Assessment | July 2015 | Biodiversity Distribution What is biodiversity? Biodiversity refers to all of the natural world and all living organisms within it, including plants, animals, bacteria and micro organisms. The convention on biodiversity defines it as: “The variability among living organisms from all sources including terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems, and the ecological complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems” (Source: Natural England website). Introduction to the biodiversity distribution assessment Waveney District has a wide range of wildlife and habitats, including coastline, parkland, arable fields, rivers, hedges and woodlands. Many of these are extremely valuable in their own right and require protection and enhancement. These sites often also form part of a wider network of sites and wildlife corridors that increase the range of habitats that can support local wildlife. Networks of biologically valuable sites often have greater value than each of the sites individually. For this reason Waveney District Council wants to map ecological sites and networks to better understand how they can function alongside other types of green infrastructure. The Waveney District Council Biodiversity Audit was completed in 2007 by Suffolk Wildlife Trust. This biodiversity audit included officially designated sites, county wildlife sites and other sites that were considered to have ecological value.
