Terms of Reference Introduction 1.1. This report comprises the Joint Local Impact Report (LIR) of East Suffolk Council (ESC) and Suffolk County Council (SCC), referred to as “the Councils”. On the 1 April 2019 East Suffolk Council was created by parliamentary order, covering the former districts of Suffolk Coastal District Council and Waveney District Council. 1.2. Each of the main topics are ascribed to a Lead Authority for example SCC is the Lead Authority for Traffic and Transport. 1.3. This LIR has been prepared in accordance with s60(3) of the Planning Act 2008 (as amended) and having regard to the guidance in the Planning Inspectorate’s Advice Note One: Local Impact Reports and the DCLG Guidance for the examination of applications for development consent. 1.4. East Anglia One North Ltd and East Anglia Two Ltd, which are subsidiaries of ScottishPower Renewables (SPR) have submitted two applications for Development Consent Orders (DCO) for two offshore wind farms; East Anglia One North (EA1N) and East Anglia Two (EA2). This LIR relates to both DCO applications and the comments provided within the LIR address the local impacts of both projects unless explicitly stated otherwise. Scope 1.5. The LIR only relates to onshore impacts of the proposed schemes as they affect the administrative areas of ESC and SCC. This includes the potential impacts of the proposed offshore infrastructure upon areas within the Councils jurisdiction above the mean low water mark including visual and landscape impacts. 1.6. The report specifically describes the impact of Works (described in the Development Consent Orders (DCO); namely: • 800mw wind farm minimum 36km from shore (Lowestoft) – EA1N; • 900mw wind farm minimum 33km from shore (Southwold) – EA2 • Up to two export cables laid underground landing at Thorpeness and connecting to up to two transition bays for each project; • Up to six electrical cables laid underground between the landfall and the substation location north of Friston with associated cable jointing bays for each project; 6 | Page ESC and SCC Joint LIR for EA1N and EA2 Projects • EA1N substation, EA2 substation, National Grid substation and associated grid connection works immediately north of Friston, • Temporary construction consolidation sites for each project and; • Other onshore construction activities and temporary works associated with the above works. 1.7. This LIR does not describe the schemes any further, relying on the Applicants’ descriptions as set out in the DCO application documents. 1.8. Only a brief description of the development area is provided to highlight specific features within the onshore Order Limits. The Applicants’ Environmental Statements (ES) otherwise provide acceptable descriptions. 1.9. The Councils have experience of the DCO process and post consent phases of other windfarm projects. East Anglia One (EA1) windfarm was consented in 2014 and is due to be completed in 2021 and the East Anglia Three (EA3) windfarm was consented in 2017 but has not yet commenced. 1.10. There is no relevant planning history to be described, the Order Limits largely encompass greenfield land other than where they encompass watercourses, woodlands or the public highway. 1.11. The Councils have taken into consideration the responses the Applicants have provided in relation to their Relevant Representation in the drafting of the LIR (Document reference ExA.RR3.D0.V1 - ESC RR-02 and SCC RR-07). 1.12. The Councils continue to engage with the Applicants through the Statement of Common Ground (SoCG) process, with a view to narrowing the issues in dispute. Purpose and structure of the LIR 1.13. S60 (3) of the 2008 Planning Act defines Local Impact Reports as: “a report in writing giving details of the likely impact of the proposed development on the authority’s area.” 1.14. This LIR provides details of the likely impact of the two schemes under topic-based headings reflecting the likely nature of the impacts. The key issues for the Councils and the local community under each topic are identified, followed by commentary on the extent to which the Applicants address these issues by reference to the 7 | Page ESC and SCC Joint LIR for EA1N and EA2 Projects application documentation, including the DCO articles, requirements and obligations, as relevant. 8 | Page ESC and SCC Joint LIR for EA1N and EA2 Projects 2. Description of the Area 2.1. The onshore cable corridor for both schemes passes through approximately 9km of countryside on its route from the landfall at Thorpeness to the substations site at Friston/Knodishall. The entire onshore Order Limits are within ESC’s administrative boundaries. 2.2. The cables come ashore within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and Heritage Coast at Thorpeness. The cliffs in the area of the landfall comprise weakly cemented Pleistocene rocks and sediments with the coastline suffering from episodic coastal erosion. The landscape is typical of the Coastal Dunes and Shingle Ridge landscape character type (LCT) as defined by the Suffolk County Landscape Character Assessment. To the north of the settlement of Thorpeness, the section of the coastline is relatively undeveloped and uncluttered with the Suffolk Coast Path following the coast northwards. 2.3. In addition to being within the defined Heritage Coast and AONB, the landfall area also lies partly within the Leiston-Aldeburgh Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). 2.4. Once under the unconsolidated cliffs, the cables run under

    AN INDEX to M. Janet Becker, Blythburgh. An Essay on the Village and the Church. (Halesworth, 1935) Alan Mackley Blythburgh 2020 AN INDEX to M. Janet Becker, Blythburgh. An Essay on the Village and the Church. (Halesworth, 1935) INTRODUCTION Margaret Janet Becker (1904-1953) was the daughter of Harry Becker, painter of the farming community and resident in the Blythburgh area from 1915 to his death in 1928, and his artist wife Georgina who taught drawing at St Felix school, Southwold, from 1916 to 1923. Janet appears to have attended St Felix school for a while and was also taught in London, thanks to a generous godmother. A note-book she started at the age of 19 records her then as a London University student. It was in London, during a visit to Southwark Cathedral, that the sight of a recently- cleaned monument inspired a life-long interest in the subject. Through a friend’s introduction she was able to train under Professor Ernest Tristram of the Royal College of Art, a pioneer in the conservation of medieval wall paintings. Janet developed a career as cleaner and renovator of church monuments which took her widely across England and Scotland. She claimed to have washed the faces of many kings, aristocrats and gentlemen. After her father’s death Janet lived with her mother at The Old Vicarage, Wangford. Janet became a respected Suffolk historian. Her wide historical and conservation interests are demonstrated by membership of the St Edmundsbury and Ipswich Diocesan Advisory Committee on the Care of Churches, and she was a Council member of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History.

  • Halesworth Area History Notes
    Halesworth Area History Notes I. HALESWORTH IN THE 11 th CENTURY Modern Halesworth was founded during the Middle Saxon period (650AD=850AD), and probably situated on the side of a ridge of sand and gravel close to the Town River. The evidence we have of early Halesworth includes a row of large post-holes, a burial of possibly a male of middle age radio-carbon dated to 740AD, and a sub-circular pit containing sheep, pig and ox bones. The ox bones show evidence of butchery. Sherds of ‘Ipswich Ware’ pottery found near the post-holes suggest trading links with the large industrial and mercantile settlement of Ipswich. It is now thought likely that ‘Ipswich Ware’ did not find its way to North Suffolk until after about 720AD. Perhaps Halesworth was also a dependent settlement of the Royal Estate at Blythburgh. By the 11 th century the settlement had moved to the top of the ridge east of the church. It’s possible that ‘Halesuworda’ had become a strategic crossing place where the Town River and its marshy flood plain, were narrow enough to be crossed. Perhaps Halesworth was also a tax centre for the payment of geld, as well as a collecting point for produce from the surrounding countryside with craft goods, agricultural produce and food rents moving up and down the river between Halesworth, Blythburgh and the coastal port of Dunwich. At the time of the Norman Conquest ‘Halesuworda’ consisted of a rural estate held by Aelfric, and two smaller manors whose freemen were under the patronage of Ralph the Constable and Edric of Laxfield.

  • Excursions 1985
    EXCURSIONS 1985 Report and notes on somefindings 20 April. John Blatchly and Norman Scarfe Yoxford: the Garden of Suffolk Following A.G.M., held in St Peter's Church, Yoxford (originally Stikeland) by kind permission of Rev. Philip Owens, Norman Scarfe outlined likely dispositions of the seven Domesday manors around vill, pointing out how much R.T.L. Parr had revised and corrected Yoxford entry in Copinger's Manors of Suffolk. Norman Scarfe has since brought this together in essay on 'The Planting of "the Garden of Suffolk" in his new book, Suffolk in the Middle Ages. In St Peter's Church, John Blatchly gave dates for its building: major rebuild with proceeds of sale of Cockfield Hall, bequeathed by John and Maud Norwich c. 1430; S. aisle (will of William Drane, 1499); S.E. chapel, c.1550; N. aisle, 1837. Real and imaginary pedigrees of John Hopton and des,cendants displayed on wooden shields in S. aisle and chapel: of 22, only 15 remain. Dr Blatchly suggested Thomasine, John Hopton's 3rd wife (d. 1497), responsible for majority of them, and for shroud brasses to two daughters (d. 1471 and 1485). Anne Owen, 2nd wife of Sir Arthur Hopton, showed her descent in painted shields formerly on wainscot in then new Cockfield Chapel: Anne Echyngham showed hers on other shields around former 8ft high panelling round chancel, probably as memorial to sister Mary (d. 1572). Grove Park. After Dr Blatchly's brief tribute to D.E. Davy whose uncle built Grove Park, members walked across park to house. Eleazar Davy, High Sheriff 1770, bought estate in 1772; house enlarged by c.

  • Bramfield Suffolk Putting Its Head Above the Parapet Or Standing And
    1 Bramfield, Suffolk, putting its head above the parapet or standing and being counted. First, a little about where Bramfield is and why I have chosen the following three episodes in the very quiet and uneventful history of the parish of St Andrew’s near Halesworth. Bramfield is a small parish about 7 miles inland from the North Sea coast at Dunwich and to the west of the A12. It lies in a valley formed by a tributary of the Blyth, the church standing above the village on a spur of land. St Andrew’s is well known for several outstanding features. It has the only separate round tower in Suffolk as well as probably one of the country’s finest rood screens. This and a 15th century wall painting where a wooden cross was erected, ‘the good rood’, the Coke memorial by Nicholas Stone and the sad ledger slab relating the tragic life of Bridgett Applewhaite bring visitors from far and wide. The church is mentioned in Domesday and was given to Blythburgh Priory by 1160 by the lord of the manor an under tenant of the Earl of Richmond. This is a drawing by Alfred Suckling from his History of Blything Hundred in 1845 and shows the church much as it was (with the exception of the 17th century Town Houses by the tower) in the 14th century.
