The scheme comprises up to 120 dwellings, employment uses and community provision including sports pitches and a community orchard. 1.3 The issues that are dealt with within this SCGT include: (i) the Appeal site and the Appeal proposal; (ii) access to services and facilities by walking, cycling and public transport; (iii) vehicular access and trip impact; (iv) planning conditions and obligations; and (v) areas of agreement and dispute. 1.4 The Appellant and the Council will seek to agree additional matters in due course in advance of the Inquiry as appropriate. November 2020 Mid Suffolk Council & Pegasus Group 1 Former Poultry Factory, Haughley Park Statement of Common Ground on Transportation Issues 2 THE APPEAL SITE & HIGHWAY NETWORK Site Location 2.1 The Appeal site comprises previously developed land, which was last used as a Poultry Processing Factory. It is agreed that the lawful land use allows for any industrial activity to take in the buildings or at the site, provided it can utilise the existing buildings / external areas and that there are no planning controls on the hours of operation. 2.2 The Appeal site is situated in Mid Suffolk District, around seven kilometres to the west of Stowmarket by road and around 20 kilometres to the east of Bury St Edmonds by road. Stowmarket is identified as the particular focus for employment opportunities on the A14 corridor. Suffolk is largely a rural county and Mid Suffolk is largely a rural district. 2.3 Elmswell is around 3.5 kilometres to the north west of the appeal site. Haughley New Street is around 2.0 kilometres to the east and Haughley is around 3.5 kilometres to the east. Wetherden is around 1.5 kilometres to the north east. Woolpit is around 5.8 kilometres to the west. These distances are by road measured from the approximate centre of the appeal site to the approximate centre of those settlements. 2.4 Elmswell, Haughley and Woolpit are identified in the adopted Mid Suffolk Core Strategy (2008) as Key Service Centres at Policy CS1. Key Service Centres are described as villages that are capable of providing local services and facilities to a dispersed rural population. 2.5 The distances between the site and facilities by road are tabulated at Appendix SCGT/A. 2.6 The car ownership levels in the local ward are an average of 1.52 cars & vans per household. The car ownership levels in the District are an average of 1.59 cars & vans per household. A total of 16.4 percent of local employees were recorded to work from home in the 2011 census, compared to 10.3 percent nationally. November 2020 Mid Suffolk Council & Pegasus Group 2 Former Poultry Factory, Haughley Park Statement of Common Ground on Transportation Issues Existing Access Arrangements 2.7 Haughley Park includes a Grade 1 listed building, a facility for Scouts including two large summer camps, a venue for meetings and around 40 weddings each year and also other events. The owner of Haughley Park has suggested that the site can accommodate up to 5,000 visitors in a day. 2.8 A private road links the main body of the site with Haughley New Road at a simple priority tee-junction in the north. The private road in its current form previously served the factory traffic. It presently serves other land uses contained within the Haughley Park estate. 2.9 The private road is typically round 5.5 metres wide, which allows two larger vehicles to pass. The length of the overall route between the approximate centre of the main body of the site and Haughley New Road is approximately 780 metres. There is a localised narrowing on the access road at the frontage of the listed building. The road here is less than 4.1 metres wide for a length of around 56 metres and less than 5.5 metres wide for a length of around 71 metres. It is agreed that the existing access road can accommodate the Appeal scheme vehicles and cyclists. Local Highway Network 2.10 The local highway authority is Suffolk County Council. The strategic highway authority responsible for the A14 is Highways England. These authorities were consulted on the planning proposal. Suffolk County Council confirmed its recommendation that the planning application is not refused on highways grounds subject to suitable highway mitigation measures being secured. Highways England offered no objections. 2.11 Haughley New Road is unclassified and is locally designated as U4977. It is derestricted and subject to the national speed limit. As well as serving Haughley Park, it serves the nearby Wetherden Business Park, which incorporates a saw-mill, a vehicle repair shop and valeting service, to the east on the north side of the road. There are no existing footways in this location and pedestrians have the choice of walking on the carriageway or the adjoining verges (where possible). The Haughley Park junction is not a new junction. It previously served industrial traffic including Heavy Goods Vehicles. It is agreed to operate satisfactorily at present. November 2020 Mid Suffolk Council & Pegasus Group 3 Former Poultry Factory, Haughley Park Statement of Common Ground on Transportation Issues 2.12 Park Road forms a side road junction on Haughley New Road around 350 metres to the east of the site access point. It is derestricted and subject to the national speed limit to the immediate north of the junction. The speed limit changes to 30mph at Wetherden village around 80 metres to the north and this section includes direct frontage access for existing dwellings and also serves the Park View estate (around 30 dwellings). Pedestrians on Park Road either walk on the carriageway or the adjoining verges (where possible) along the side of the road. Highway Safety 2.13 It is agreed with reference to the Crashmap database that there have been four vehicle related accidents and no pedestrian or cycle related accidents on Haughley New Road between Warren Lane in the west and the Park Road junction in the east in the last 21 years, including a significant amount of time when the factory on the Appeal site was operating. 2.14 The vehicle related accidents that have occurred on this section of Haughley New Road were in different places and there have been none in the last five years. 2.15 It is agreed that the access point currently operates safely and that it previously operated safely when the poultry factory was in operation. It is agreed that there is no material accident pattern or recorded problem on the local highway network for any types of road user, on Haughley New Road or elsewhere nearby, and that the appeal proposal is not predicted to have a material impact on the safety of the local junctions, or the general safety or operation of the local highway network. Walking, Cycling and Public Transport 2.16 An average walking speed of 80 metres per minute (4.8 kilometres or 3 miles per hour) is agreed to be a suitable average. An average cycling speed of 292 metres per minute (17.5 kilometres or 10.9 miles per hour) derived from the Transport Assessment is also agreed to be an average. November 2020 Mid Suffolk Council & Pegasus Group 4 Former Poultry Factory, Haughley Park Statement of Common Ground on Transportation Issues 2.17 It is agreed that the walking and cycling distance between the approximate centre of the site and the Park Road junction with Haughley New Road is approximately 1.1 kilometres. It is agreed that the walking distance between the approximate centre of the Appeal site and the nearest primary school at Elmswell is 3.8 kilometres by way of Haughley New Road, Park View and local rights of ways. The local education authority with reference to ‘statutory walking distance eligibility’ has a duty to provide free school transport for all pupils if their nearest school is further than a prescribed distance. The distance for pupils under 8 is 3.2 kilometres (2 miles) and the distance for pupils between 8 and 16 is 4.8 kilometres (3 miles). It is agreed that there are no other prescriptive thresholds for walking distances in local or national guidance.

  • Mendlesham 2008
    conservation area appraisal © Crown copyright All rights reserved Mid Suffolk D C Licence no 100017810 2006 Introduction The conservation area in Mendlesham was originally designated by East Suffolk County Council in 1972, and inherited by Mid Suffolk District Council at its inception in 1974. The Council has a duty to review its conservation area designations from time to time, and this appraisal examines Mendlesham under a number of different headings as set out in English Heritage’s new ‘Guidance on Conservation Area Appraisals’ (2006). As such it is a straightforward appraisal of Mendlesham’s built environment in conservation terms. This document is neither prescriptive nor overly descriptive, but more a demonstration of ‘quality of place’, sufficient for the briefing of the Planning Officer when assessing proposed works in the area. The photographs and maps are thus intended to contribute as much as the text itself. As the English Heritage guidelines point out, the appraisal is to be read as a general overview, rather than as a comprehensive listing, and the omission of any particular building, feature or space does not imply that it is of no interest in conservation terms. Text, photographs and map overlays by Patrick Taylor, Conservation Architect, Mid Suffolk District Council 2007. © Crown copyright All rights reserved Mid Suffolk D C Licence no 100017810 2006 Topographical Framework The village of Mendlesham is about five miles north-east of the market town of Stowmarket and about nine miles south of Diss, roughly at the centre of Mid Suffolk District. It sits on slightly higher ground between two tributaries of the River Dove that flows north-eastwards via Eye to join the river Waveney at the Norfolk border.

  • With Its Irregularities of Surface, Caused by the Artificial Mound with Its Encircling .Moat, and the Rectangular Enclosures Similarly Surrounded, Presents
    301 NOTES ON SUFFOLK CASTLES. By. VINCENTB. REDSTONE. I. HAUGHLEY CASTLE ANDITS PARK. The site of Haughley Castle; with its irregularities of surface, caused by the artificial mound with its encircling .moat, and the rectangular enclosures similarly surrounded, presents. to- the mind much foOd for reflection. We are. led to consider, who, or what workmen were engaged in throwing •up this defensive earthwork ; what was the character of the fortress reared upon the mound ; and by what fate it was destroyed. A search among early chronicles throws little light upon the subject, and we are compelled to base our knowledge of its history upon a comparison of the earthworks as they now remain, with those of which we have reliable information as to their construction. A few scanty records bearing on its history, however, remain, and will assist us to form a judgment as to the origin and character of the Castle. The plan of Haughley Castle and its-defences presents a resemblance to that of Eye Castle, which was probably constructed about the same period. Before dwelling upon the history of the owners and occupiers of the site, we will examine the nature of the defences as shown in the recent Ordnance Survey. The most striking feature is die artificial mound with. its level 'summit. The diameter of the inner circle of the enclosing, moat is 70 yards, and if we measure this diameter from the passage over the moat;, proceeding at the same time due north, we shall find the sunimit is not concentric with the moat, for the distance from the entrance to the summit is 261 yards, but only half the distance lies between the northern edge of the summit and the nearest 'part of the moat.

  • Haughley War Memorial
    HAUGHLEY WAR MEMORIAL HAUGHLEY WAR MEMORIAL Suffolk Chronicle & Mercury Friday 12th March 1920 HAUGHLEY WAR MEMORIAL UNVEILED There were impressive scenes on Tuesday afternoon on the occasion of the memorial dedicated to the memory of the twenty-nine men of the parish who laid down their lives for their country in the war. Haughley may justly be proud of the part played by her menfolk during the war, and the record must compare more than favourably with any parish of its size in the country. The price paid was a heavy one and a crowded congregation assembled in the church at the dedication service to do honour to the memory of the fallen heroes. The memorial took the form of a Calvary cross. The cross which had been erected in the churchyard, overlooking the main street, was of Clipsham stone, and of a very beautiful design. A tablet at the base bore the names of the fallen, and many magnificent wreathes had been placed at the foot by relatives and friends. Previous to the unveiling ceremony which was performed by Brigadier-General Massy Lloyd CBE, a very impressive form of service was held in the church, at which the Vicar, the Rev. Hastings Kelk, officiated. The choir had been augmented by that of Stowmarket Parish Church and the choral portion was beautifully augmented. The hymns chosen were ‘Oh valiant heart’and ‘When I survey the wondrous Cross’and the singing of the ‘Requiem’by the massed choirs was particularly inspiring in the solemnity of its rendering. The lesson was read by the Rev.

    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.
