-----Original Message----- From: Sent: 23 August 2017 10:28 To: Environment Subject: New dog rules These rules seem to be ok. How will they be enforced? By whom will they be enforced? Are dogs allowed to foul public footpaths across fields or are owners supposed to pick up ? Regards Kirton From: ] Sent: 18 August 2017 19:02 To: Environment Subject: Dogs on leads Hi, Too much emphasis on punitive measures rather than proactive encouragement does not make for good practice. Irresponsible persons are likely to be the owners of un-chipped dogs, allowing foiling and will not have the income to pay the fine! Our MP wisely seeks caution. I'm left wondering about consistency of enforcement, interpretation and understanding of Woolley legislation by owners and those empowered to enforce. Notices in set places like the beaches etc are fine, but areas near roads seems unworkable defining what constitutes a reasonable definition of 'a road' will no doubt rack up legal costs and tie administration down. Focussed and targeted zones seem proportionate and reasonable to manage. Regards Sent from my iPad -----Original Message----- From: Sent: 18 August 2017 19:19 To: Environment Subject: Dogs on leads proposals Dear Sir, Many of these proposals are commonsense and are already observed by responsible dog walkers. However, there are serious problems with one item in the schedule: "Sports grounds, fields, greens and pitches (when in use as such)" It is certainly possible to keep dogs off football/cricket pitches and on a lead (though what about golf courses??) - but the rest of this proposal is simply wrong-headed. Sports grounds, fields and greens are frequently the only places where people can allow their dogs to have energetic exercise, especially in built-up areas, and it is both impractical and unwise to stop people letting dogs off leads. Unwise because some breeds need to run freely for some part of their walk in order to exercise properly and it is perfectly safe to do this responsibly in the vast majority of sports grounds, fields and greens. There should, however, be consideration for other users of that space and owners should be advised to put their dogs on a lead if young children are around. It may well be that there are particular village greens or other areas where it would be dangerous or otherwise unwise to let dogs off leads. Why not frame this order in a way that allows parish councils to apply the proposed regulation to a specific location, subject to clear and adequate signing of the restriction? If there is no specific signing provided, then I can see very considerable enforcement problems - and I think, for that reason, the general inclusion of sports grounds, fields and greens is completely unworkable and that element should be dropped. Kind regards Felixstowe IP11 7 JT Sent from my iPad -----Original Message----- From: Sent: 18 August 2017 20:01 To: Environment Subject: Public Space Protection Order Dear Sir I write to object to any order that restricts dogs to be walked off lead, as per your consultation. Beaches used during the summer Months are an exception. Responsible dog owners need to decide themselves. Don't waste money paying for wardens to inspect. -----Original Message----- From: Sent: 18 August 2017 21:03 To: Environment Subject: Draconian rules for dogs Dear Person This rule you are putting forward for keeping dogs on leads is stupid, you are an insult to your profession if you feel the need for this law! My dog has never, I repeat that, never affected anybody in an offensive way, I have never met anybody that even dislikes her, she is warm loving and affectionate, actually I've not met a single dog in my neighbourhood that is offensive or unhealthy, you propose punishing them for that? Now I have met a few children who are actually thugs, some have taken great delight in smashing up the bus shelter behind my home, we had a gang of them trying to smash windows with snow balls one year, they leave rubbish in all the parks, write graffiti on walls, the list goes on, but will you spend any time doing something about them? How about doing your job instead of making up stupid rules Worlingham Beccles Sent from my iPad From: Sent: 18 August 2017 22:17 To: Environment Subject: Exclusion of dogs. Dear Sirs I have heard of your plans to ban dogs from several areas, and I feel I must protest. Dogs need areas where they can run and play in safety away from roads. If you must ban dogs from certain areas then you must provide an alternative place for them. I look forward to receiving your response.

Dear Sir/ Madam, I would like to raise my objection to imposing Public Space Protection Orders in Suffolk. I object in principle to the imposition of such orders and feel they would be a restriction of my entitlement as a local person to enjoy the environment in which I am resident. I have been park of the Hollesley/ Shingle street community for nearly five decades and the increasing degree of restriction is far in excess of that which is reasonable and tolerable. May I suggest that if the house building were restricted there is every possibility that there would be less people trying to live within the limited space? Thereby offering a solution issues of the number of dogs in the community. If my objection would only be acceptable on an individual order basis please advise so I can resubmit my objection. Really I am totally non-plussed that any consideration is being given to such Orders in this small rural community. Kind regards Sent from my iPad From: Sent: 18 August 2017 22:44 To: Environment Subject: Dog controls I am strongly against any increase in the proposed changes to the legislation by the relevant councils. Please stop listening to the " johns come lately's " and leave thins as they are. From: Sent: 18 August 2017 23:24 To: Environment Subject: PUBLIC SPACE PROTECTION ORDERS Dear Sirs I've just read through the proposed Public Space Protection Orders in relation to dogs, and I'm utterly horrified. These measures are nothing short of draconian, and completely unnecessary. In each case, you're proposing to make it a criminal offence if an owner does not keep their dog on a lead. This is an absolute disgrace! Why is the Council intent on persecuting dogs and their owners? I am certain that the Council must have other matters it could be dealing with, rather than trying to criminalise dog owners for merely allowing their dog to enjoy some offlead exercise. Yours sincerely Click here to report this email as spam. From: Sent: 19 August 2017 02:33 To: Environment Subject: Consultation dogs Good morning, I am horrified at the reporting of this plan, which appears to be an attempt to impose regulations and draconian control by the back door. As a resident and dog owner I cannot see why you would need to do this. There is ample legislation in place and Suffolk Constabulary are able to pursue prosecutions in the case of dangerous dogs or those causing injury. In these times of fiscal restrictions how can the Council justify the cost of this? How do you expect to implement this policy and why would dog lovers travel to Suffolk to be treated like second class citizens, in this period of financial depression is this really appropriate? I am very disappointed that the Council believes this to be a worthwhile investment of this time and resources. Regards Sent from my iPad From: Sent: 19 August 2017 06:23 To: Environment Subject: Dog Controls In my opinion the proposed changes are completely sensible. I live in a seaside town and dogs have become a nuisance rather than a pleasure. Thank you Suffolk Coastal Sent from my iPhone From: Sent: 19 August 2017 07:45 To: Environment Subject: Dogs on leads I feel that dogs should be on leads when outside their owner's house and garden. They certainly should not be allowed to be a nuisance to young children playing, to wildlife in nature reserves nor people on beaches. I feel Suffolk council is taking the right approach. Sent from my iPad From: Sent: 19 August 2017 07:46 To: Environment Subject: Restrictions on Dogs Dear Sir or Madam I have to comment with great feeling that the proposed restrictions by yourselves on having dogs on leads can only indicate that someone in the council has too little work to do to come up with mostly such a ridiculous suggestion. Where will this end? Dogs will soon not be able to walk/run anywhere, and I'll wait for the Forestry commission to ban dogs from the local woods and forests. Whilst I myself am appalled as a dog owner by others who do not clear up after their dogs, the vast majority do. I also recognise that there are people out there who have not trained their dogs, and they "run riot" around other dogs and people. They can cause distress and some injury, so perhaps you would be better placed seeking some form of redress over these issues rather than the suggestions raised. From walking my own dog on its lead where it is clearly indicated and for both her sake and others, I note that some people still leave their dogs running free.

    Suffolk Coastal District Local Plan Core Strategy & Development Management Policies

    Suffolk Coastal... ...where quality of life counts Suffolk Coastal District Local Plan Core Strategy & Development Management Policies Development Plan Document July 2013 Cover IMage CreDIt: - scdc Foreword this document, the Core Strategy of the Suffolk Coastal District Local Plan, is the first and central part of our new Local Plan which will guide development across the District until 2027 and beyond. Suffolk Coastal District is a uniquely attractive place to live and work, combining a strong economy with a natural and built environment second to none. those advantages however present us with the challenge of so guiding development that we continue to stimulate and support that economy, we provide attractive and affordable homes for current and future generations, and we achieve all that in a way which preserves and enhances that precious, but sometimes vulnerable, environment. the Core Strategy sets out a vision for the District as we go forward over the next 15 years. objectives derived from that vision, and the Strategic Policies designed to achieve those, do so in a way which recognises and builds on the diversity of the different communities which together make our District the wonderful place it is. they reflect both the opportunities and threats which that diversity brings with it. the Development Management Policies then set out in more detail specific approaches for different aspects or types of development to ensure that each contributes in a consistent way to those objectives and strategies. alongside these clear local aspirations, the Strategy has developed, evolved and been refined over a decade to ensure that it meets both its international obligations in terms of areas designated for their high quality nature conservation interest, and the contribution it can make to the wider sub-national and national economy, within continuously evolving national planning policies for our society as a whole.

    Martlesham Heath Area Specific Guidance June 2001

    Supplementary Planning Guidance 12.8 Hi-Tech Cluster: Martlesham Heath Area Specific Guidance June 2001 Following the reforms to the Planning system through the enactment of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 all Supplementary Planning Guidance’s can only be kept for a maximum of three years. It is the District Council’s intention to review each Supplementary Planning Guidance in this time and reproduce these publications as Supplementary Planning Documents which will support the policies to be found in the Local Development Framework which is to replace the existing Suffolk Coastal Local Plan First Alteration, February 2001. Some Supplementary Planning Guidance dates back to the early 1990’s and may no longer be appropriate as the site or issue may have been resolved so these documents will be phased out of the production and will not support the Local Development Framework. Those to be kept will be reviewed and republished in accordance with new guidelines for public consultation. A list of those to be kept can be found in the Suffolk Coastal Local Development Scheme December 2004. Please be aware when reading this guidance that some of the Government organisations referred to no longer exist or do so under a different name. For example MAFF (Ministry for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food) is no longer in operation but all responsibilities and duties are now dealt with by DEFRA (Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs). Another example may be the DETR (Department of Environment, Transport and Regions) whose responsibilities are now dealt with in part by the DCLG (Department of Communities & Local Government).

    Watsonia 17 (1988), 183-198

    Watsonia, 17, 183-198 (1988) 183 Plant Records Records for publication must be submitted to the appropriate vice-county Recorder (see Vice-county Recorders (1985)), and not the Editors. The records must normally be of species, hybrids or subspecies of native or naturalized alien plants belonging to one or more of the following categories: 1st or 2nd v.c. record, 1st post- 1930 v.c. record; only extant v.c. locality, or 2nd such locality; a record of an extension of range by more than 100 km. Such records will also be accepted for the major islands in v.cc. 102-104 and 110. Only 1st records can be accepted for Rubus, Hieracium and hybrids. Records for subdivisions of vice-counties will not be treated separately; they must therefore be records for the vice-county as a whole. Records of Taraxacum are now being dealt with separately, by Dr A. J. Richards, and will be published at a later date. New records for Irish vice­ counties are published elsewhere, usually in the Irish Naturalists' Journal. Records are arranged in the order given in the List of British vascular plants by J. E. Dandy (1958) and his subsequent revision (Watsonia, 7: 157- 178 (1969)). All records are field records unless otherwise stated. With the exception of collectors' initials, herbarium abbreviations are those used in British and Irish herbaria by D. H. Kent & D. E. Alien (1984) . The following signs are used: • before the record: to indicate a new vice-county record. t before the species number: to indicate that the plant is not a native species of the British Isles.

    Open Spaces Assessment

    Ploszajski Lynch Consulting Ltd. Suffolk Coastal District Council Open Spaces Assessment October 2014 CONTENTS EXECUTUVE SUMMARY 1 1 INTRODUCTION 11 2 THE SUFFOLK COASTAL CONTEXT 16 3 STRATEGIC INFLUENCES ON PROVISION 21 4 DEMAND FOR OPEN SPACE 29 5 SUPPLY OF OPEN SPACE 38 6 THE CURRENT SUPPLY-DEMAND BALANCE 80 7 THE FUTURE SUPPLY-DEMAND BALANCE 90 8 PLANNING POLICY CONSIDERATIONS 91 9 ACTION PLAN 93 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The aims of the assessment 1) The aims of the assessment are to: To inform SCDC on the open space and recreational areas that are required to serve existing and new development, covering both the demand for and use of existing open space identifying areas of deficiency or surplus and highlighting priority locations for future provision. To identify the likely level of funding available from identified bodies, assisting in the delivery of the assessment and its action plan to ensure the area has access to good quality local and regional open space environments. To prioritise any funding for open space maintenance or projects from local authority budgets, including from the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) or Section 106. To identify the provision needed to support measures to promote greater physical activity locally. To establish the longer term sustainability of open spaces and ancillary features such as car parking and on-going funding or management. To review existing local standards of both provision and accessibility and recommend prioritised solutions in the form of amendments, improvements or continued use of existing standards. What the assessment covers 2) The assessment covers the following types of publicly accessible open space: Parks and gardens.
