Introduction Purpose of this document Figure 1: Location plan 1. Lucy Batchelor-Wylam was appointed in October 2019 to provide a landscape and visual appraisal to support a planning application for 2 houses on the edge of Lawshall, in the jurisdiction of Babergh District Council. Site context 2. Lawshall is a village approximately 8 miles from Sudbury to the south and Bury St. Edmunds to the north. The village is not nucleated and instead comprises a dispersed string of hamlets set on winding lanes, all within a gently rolling landscape. 3. The Site is just outside the main population hub of Lawshall. It is located at the western edge of the village on Lambs Lane, before it becomes Hartest Lane, and consists currently of rough grassland with one walnut tree and a moat on all four sides. Trees and shrubs grow intermittently on either side of the moat. This report was Site commissioned because of the potentially sensitive landscape setting. The purpose of landscape and visual appraisal 4. Landscape and visual appraisal is a tool for predicting and evaluating the effects of a development on the surrounding landscape character, heritage features and on views from the local area. It aims to achieve avoidance, reduction or mitigation of detrimental effects identified. The appraisal follows the principles set out in GLVIA 3 1. In line with the current guidance, the effects on landscape, and on views/visual amenity were appraised separately. 5. The aim was to assess the landscape and visual effects that would result from building new houses on this Site. The report first provides baseline information about the landscape context and character of the area. This followed a desktop exercise to review relevant designations and policies, available landscape character assessments and aerial mapping. 6. This was followed by fieldwork which aimed to predict what effects the development will have on the character of the village here, and on those living in or using the area. The concluding section of this report describes the mitigation measures proposed to help minimise and reduce landscape and visual impacts, and judge the significance of the remaining residual impacts that cannot be mitigated. Professional credentials 7. This report was undertaken by Lucy Batchelor-Wylam and Isolde Cutting, Chartered Landscape Architects and members of the Landscape Institute. 8. A Site visit was undertaken on 12th November 2019. Weather conditions were cloudy, with sunny spells, but overall reasonably bright. 1 - Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment - 3rd Edition.

Proposals Figure 3.1: Site plan Refer to architectural drawings by @ the drawing board for further details. 1. The proposal is for 2 dwellings, on the moated site south of Lambs Lane. The traditional form of the architecture for these single storey dwellings is combined with standing seam grey zinc roofs, larch cladding for the outside walls and dark grey powder coated aluminium windows. 2. The Site, directly adjacent to an existing residential property and within the area defined by Moat House is well related to the existing village edge and the ‘Main Population Hub’ and just outside the settlement boundary. 3. Some of the trees around the perimeter of the Site are protected by Tree Protection Orders. These trees will be retained Walnut tree and protected during construction. It is proposed to also retain the walnut tree in the centre of the Site. Proposed hedges 4. The new houses will also be bounded with native hedges to all sides. Some of the site boundary planting has already taken place and will be re-inforced as necessary. Additional hedge planting within the Site N will be used to mark the curtilages. 5. The existing access from Lambs Lane will be widened and designed to meet the necessary Highways Standards.

    SUFFOLK BETTER BROADBAND PROGRAMME NEWSLETTER - AUTUMN 2014 MESSAGE FROM MARK “Exciting time for the Suffolk Better Broadband Programme! Our first tranche of rollouts are going extremely well. We are now well over halfway through our rollout process, and moving into more and more rural areas. We are also continuing to deliver upgrades to people connected directly to the telephone exchange, and therefore ordinarily not able to access fibre broadband. As usual, the tables overleaf contain lists of areas which have gone live last quarter, and also those planned to be live by Christmas. In this edition, we have also added in some additional information about detailed progress with the upgrades, as we are very aware that people spot these green cabinets shooting up everywhere, and want to know when they are live! The reality is that this is the easy bit, and we then have to connect them up to fibre, which often has to travel tens of kilometres to reach them. We also have to arrange for UK Power Networks to come out and connect the power up, and also negotiate way leaves and permissions for ducts and poles. In addition to our first contract, which will increase the existing coverage achieved by commercial companies to 85%, we have made great strides with solutions for those who are in the other 15% of the county. I should highlight that these are not just rural areas; some of our major towns are still struggling and awaiting upgrades. To address this remaining 15%, we are pleased to announce that we have signed a second contract.

We began with a Village Walk on 15th May 2016. For this we used a pro forma template encompassing 10 physical aspects of the parish and which we adapted, to make it more Lawshall-friendly. 26 walkers were asked to fill in the templates, assess the best views and enhance their findings with photos. The walkers met up afterwards to compare notes and discuss the best way forward to develop the Assessment. A smaller core group met several times over the next few months to identify the main character areas of the village, the best way to describe them, and the most effective use of maps and photos. We hope the result gives the reader an evocative ‘feel’ of Lawshall and a clear indication of what our residents most value. We offer our thanks to our Babergh Liaison, Rachel Hogger, who provided invaluable support throughout the process. PARISH OVERVIEW Lawshall is a working Suffolk village with a total population of 968 (2011 Census). It lies 8 miles equidistant from Bury St Edmunds and Sudbury, and is accessed by winding lanes and the A134 which passes within a mile or so of the main village street.
