It was identified by the National Rivers Authority (NRA) in 1993 on a priority list of 40 rivers where low flows, due to authorised abstraction, were considered a potential problem. In 1959 and 1973 the river through Wickham Market is reported as having dried up • for several days although flows, due to groundwater baseflow, were still measurable downstream at Naunton Hall (AWA, 1975). During 1976 the river upstream of Debenham STW is reported to have dried up (AWA, 1983) and undated newspaper ^ reports suggest this reoccured in either 1989 or 1990. ^ pr- As part of a NRA (Anglian) appraisal of the feasibility and cost/benefit of possible solutions to low flows in the Deben, Southern Science were commissioned to collate and review available baseline ecological data for the freshwater reach of the river and its adjacent riparian habitat, and to identify the in-river needs of key species or habitats present. A variety of data sources were approached for information including Suffolk Wildlife Trust, English Nature, Suffolk County Council, The Otter Trust, MAFF, local studies libraries and the NRA itself. 5 Key species and habitats were selected because of their rarity, or because they were considered to be characteristic of the river. For each of these species or habitats their in-river needs were assessed with particular attention paid to the impacts of flow, channel maintenance, important habitat features and water quality.

The East Suffolk CFMP is one of 77 CFMPs for England Tidal flooding can occur within rivers and estuaries. and Wales. Through the CFMPs, we have assessed inland There is a significant risk of tidal flooding in East Suffolk flood risk across all of England and Wales for the first because the coastal land and land around the estuaries is time. The CFMP considers all types of inland flooding, low-lying. Tidal flooding can occur from the River Gipping from rivers, ground water, surface water and tidal in the ports, docklands and some areas of Ipswich.

  • Babingley Catchment Outreach Report-NGP
    THE BABINGLEY RIVER CATCHMENT Links between geodiversity and landscape - A resource for educational and outreach work - Tim Holt-Wilson Norfolk Geodiversity Partnership CONTENTS 1.0 Introduction 2.0 Landscape Portrait 3.0 Features to visit 4.0 Local Details 5.0 Resources 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Babingley River is a chalk river, of which there are more in England than any other country in the world. Chalk rivers are fed from groundwater sources, producing clear waters. Most of them have ‘winterbourne’ stretches in their headwaters, with intermittent or absent flow in summer. They have characteristic plant communities, and their gravelly beds, clear waters and rich invertebrate life support important populations of brown trout, salmon and other fish. The Babingley is the best example of a chalk river in west Norfolk. This report explains the links between geodiversity and the biological and cultural character of the river catchment. It provides a digest of information for education and interpretive outreach about this precious natural resource. Some specialist words are marked in blue and appear in the Glossary (section 5). 2.0 LANDSCAPE PORTRAIT 2.1 Topography and geology The Babingley River is a river in north-west Norfolk with a length of 19.6 km (12 miles). The river falls some 25 m (82 ft) from its headwaters at Flitcham to where it meets the sea at Wootton Marshes. This represents a mean fall of approximately 1.27 m (4.2 ft) per km. However this fall is mostly accomplished over a distance of 7.7 km upstream of Babingley Bridge (Castle Rising), at a steeper gradient of 3.24 m per km.

  • Brandeston and Kettleburgh Parish News April 2010
    BRANDESTON AND KETTLEBURGH PARISH NEWS APRIL 2010 THE PARISHES OF BRANDESTON AND KETTLEBURGH Dear Friends, The first day of the month coincides with Maundy Thursday, when we relive the drama of the Last Supper in the Upper Room, followed by the desolation in the Garden of Gethsemane. And all this leading to the events on Good Friday, when the Lord of Life is nailed to a cross. But of course the story does not end there. On April 4th we celebrate the great Festival of Easter. Our Churches, barren and bare during Lent become, at Easter, radiant with flowers and colour, symbols of new life. ‘He is Risen’ is the cry that is heard in Churches large and small, in tiny village churches to great Cathedrals. Christ, (as the lovely Collect for Easter Day puts it) ‘hast overcome death, and opened unto us the gate of everlasting life.’ What that means is a mystery and yet, for the believer, a reality so profound that each year, and at each Easter Day, a new shaft of resurrection light illuminates the way before us. May you all have a blessed Eastertide, and be filled with joy and hope in believing. With love, May God bless you, Harry Edwards Assistant Priest: Reverend Robin Alderson 01728 688255 Mob. 07790 242002 Brandeston Elders: Mrs Mary Baker 685807 Miss Eileen Leach MBE 685298 Churchwardens: Miss Eileen Leach MBE 685298 Mrs Alison Molyneux 685244 Kettleburgh Elders: Mrs Jackie Clark 723623 Mrs Valerie Upson 723078 Churchwardens: Mr John Bater 723532 Mrs Valerie Upson 723078 DIARY FOR APRIL 2010 Thursday 1st 10.00am Brandeston Coffee Morning and 100+ Club Draw at Village Hall Tuesday 6th 7.30pm Eastern Angles at Brandeston Village Hall – see below.

    1. WELCOME The Parish Council has decided to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan for the village so that the village influence where any new developments goes over the next 20 years. We held a Drop-in event in January and today we’d like to update you on progress and get your feedback on what the Working Group has been doing. What is a Neighbourhood Plan? It is a new kind of planning document designed to allow local people to play anactivepartin planning their area. It can guide the development and conservation of the village. It can, for example, also identify proposals for: • Improving areas • Providing new facilities • Sites for new development • Protecting sites of environmental or historic quality When complete, it will form part of the statutory development plan for the area, meaning Suffolk Coastal District Council and Government Planning Inspectors will have to take note of what it says when considering development proposals. What ‘s Happened Since January? • Household Survey distributed and collected • Household Survey results independently analysed • Village Character Appraisal undertaken by the Working Group • Possible housing sites being assessed by independent consultants as part of Government support package • Suffolk Coastal Draft Local Plan has been published for consultation KEEPINGPhotos of village EASTON SPECIAL 2. THE PROCESS How it’s prepared There are a number of stages that have to be completed, as illustrated. Some of these stages are governed by the regulations for preparing neighbourhood plans and so there is no short cut. The Plan will be prepared by the Steering Group advised by specialists when necessary.

  • IPSWICH NORTHERN ROUTE Consultation Friday 5 July to Friday 13 September 2019
    IPSWICH NORTHERN ROUTE Consultation Friday 5 July to Friday 13 September 2019 We want to hear your views on how we can create better journeys and deliver future growth across Suffolk www.ipswichnorthernroute.org.uk Introduction We want to deliver better, more reliable journeys for people travelling across Suffolk. We also want to help to enable Suffolk’s growth prospects and support our growing population and economy. Working together, Suffolk County Council, Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils, East Suffolk Council and Ipswich Borough Council with support from West Suffolk Council are exploring options to create a new road to the north of Ipswich that would enable better journeys across Suffolk as well as enable future growth. We have identified three potential routes for a new east/west link between the A12 and A14 corridors - an inner corridor from Martlesham to Claydon, a middle corridor from Woodbridge to Claydon, and an outer corridor from Melton to the A140 near Needham Market. This consultation is the first step in the process to present the emerging options and allow members of the community to comment on the project. The result of this consultation will feed into a Strategic Outline Business Case for the project and will inform whether or not the project continues. We want you to feel able to make an informed response to the consultation. This booklet explains how we have arrived at our route options, where you can find more detail and how you can let us know what you think using our questionnaire. Stowmarket A140 A14 A12 Needham Market Woodbridge A14 Ipswich Hadleigh A12 A12 North Sea Felixstowe Manningtree Harwich A120 A12 A120 Colchester 1 Why we are consulting We want to consult the local community in order to understand the needs, impacts, issues and benefits Ipswich Northern Route could bring.

    Number 108 1 Phone John on 01485 779548 or 07775 825780 2 Editor's notes Jo Halpin Jones As I am writing this it is still very warm, although early and late in the day there is a nip in the air. Yes, autumn is coming, and should be well on the way by the time you read this. The squirrels in our garden are busy harvesting the walnuts, and the blackbirds and wasps are demolishing the figs just before they are ripe for picking. Others in the village report that the squirrels are feasting on their plums, apples and mulberries, again all before they are ripe. I don't begrudge the wildlife a portion of our crops, but they are really getting greedy! It's been a busy summer for many of the village groups, and autumn brings further activities. There is a new section in Village Voice called What's On in and around Dersingham. It's on the inside back cover and is a quick guide to local events. Families who have lived in the village for a long time, sometimes many generations, may be interested to read Dick Melton's article on a pantomime that took place in 1944. You may recognise yourself, or your parents or grandparents in the photos! Don't miss Green Book, showing at Dersingham Village Screen at the Village Centre on 26th November. I saw this film a few months ago and thought it outstanding. I was delighted when it went on to win an Oscar as Best Picture. Several people have enquired about getting copies of photographs that have appeared in Village Voice.
