  • Norton Marshes to Haddiscoe Dismantled
    This area inspired the artist Sir J. A. Arnesby 16 Yare Valley - Norton Marshes to Brown (1866-1955) who lived each summer Haddiscoe Dismantled Railway at The White House, Haddiscoe. Herald of the Night, Sir J.A.Arnesby-Brown Why is this area special? This is a vast area of largely drained marshland which lies to the south of the Rivers Yare and Waveney. It traditionally formed part of the parishes of Norton (Subcourse), Thurlton, Thorpe and Haddiscoe along with a detached part of Raveningham. It would have had a direct connection to what is now known as Haddiscoe Island, prior to the construction of the New Cut which connected the Yare and Waveney together to avoid having to travel across Breydon Water. There are few houses within this marshland area. Those that exist are confined to those locations 27 where there were, or are transport links across NORFOLK the rivers. The remainder of the settlements have 30 28 developed in a linear way hugging the edges of the southern river valley side. 22 31 23 29 The Haddiscoe Dam road provides the main 24 26 connection north-south from Haddiscoe village to 25 NORWICH St Olaves. 11 20 Gt YARMOUTH 10 12 19 21 A journey on the train line from Norwich to 14 9 Lowestoft which follows the line of the New Cut 13 15 18 16 and then hugs the northern side of the Waveney 17 Valley provides a glorious way to view this area as 8 7 public rights of way into the middle of the marshes LOWESTOFT 6 4 (other than the fully navigable river) are few and 2 3 1 5 far between.

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.

  • Great Yarmouth Sites
    Great Yarmouth sites MIN 203 - land north of Welcome Pit, Burgh Castle Site Characteristics • The 4.38 hectare site is within the parish of Burgh Castle • The estimated sand and gravel resource at the site is 280,000 tonnes • The proposer of the site has given a potential start date of 2021 and estimated the extraction rate to be 20,000 tonnes per annum. Based on this information the full mineral resource at the site could be extracted within fourteen years which would be within the plan period. • The site is proposed by Folkes Plant and Aggregates Ltd as an extension to an existing site. • The site is currently in agricultural use and the Agricultural Land Classification scheme classifies the land as being Grade 3 • The site is 3.3km from Great Yarmouth and 3.9km from Gorleston-on-Sea which are the nearest urban areas. M203.1 Amenity: The nearest residential property is 237m from the site boundary. There are four sensitive receptors within 250m of the site boundary. A caravan holiday park is adjacent to the site boundary. The nearest settlements are Burgh Castle, which is about 870 metres to the north and Belton, about 950 metres to the south. Even without mitigation, adverse dust impacts from sand and gravel sites are uncommon beyond 250 metres from the nearest dust generating activities. The greatest impacts will be within 100 metres of a source, if uncontrolled. A planning application for mineral extraction at this site would need to include noise and dust assessments and mitigation measures to deal appropriately with any amenity impacts.

  • The Origins of Geldeston Lock: Act (2) 1656-1670 Let’S Get Rich by Digging! Read the Story All the Way Through
    The origins of Geldeston Lock: Act (2) 1656-1670 Let’s get rich by digging! Read the story all the way through. If there are words you don’t know look them up in a dictionary. Then think about the questions and make up your play. The sources of the Waveney and the Little Ouse rivers are North sea less than 100m apart, at Redgrave/Lopham - eight km west of Diss. The Waveney flows east into the sea at Great Kings Yarmouth, and the Little Ouse flows west and eventually Lynn Great into the sea at Kings Lynn. Norfolk Yarmouth It isn’t possible to go by boat from one river to the other, but they are separated by less than 100 metres. Suffolk In the 1660s Francis Matthew has the idea of creating an inland waterway for boats, to run all the way from Yarmouth to Kings Lynn. He wants to dig out the channels of the River Waveney and the Little Ouse and link them together where they both begin. He thinks: He presents the plan to Oliver Cromwell in 1656. Oliver Cromwell is the leader of the Army that set up Parliament and cut off the head of King Charles I. Cromwell is very busy with very important things. Nothing happens. He tries again in 1670. By this time England has a king again, as well as a Parliament. He presents the plan to King Charles II. A bit happens. Why only a bit? The whole plan is far too expensive and too difficult, but one part of it does get done.
