  • Felsham Conservation Area Appraisal
    FELSHAM CONSERVATION AREA APPRAISAL © Crown copyright All Rights Reserved M S D C Licence no 100017810 2010 INTRODUCTION The conservation area in Felsham was originally designated by Mid Suffolk District Council in 1996. The Council has a duty to review its conservation area designations from time to time, and this appraisal examines Felsham under a number of different headings as set out in English Heritage’s ‘Guidance on Conservation Area Appraisals’ (2006). As such it is a straightforward appraisal of Felsham’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 Pump Wheel 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 2011. Vintage Transport © Crown copyright All Rights Reserved M S D C Licence no 100017810 2010 TOPOGRAPHICAL FRAMEWORK Felsham is situated in central Suffolk about eight miles south-east of Bury St Edmunds. It lies on the boulder clay of ‘High Suffolk’, a recent glacial deposit over chalk at greater depth. The village lies on gently sloping ground between 75 and 85 metres above OD, very much on a watershed, standing near the beginnings of many local waterways.

  • Joint Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council Landscape Guidance August 2015
    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.

  • Non-Technical Summary
    St Edmundsbury Borough Council Core Strategy Submission Document Sustainability Appraisal Report Non-Technical Summary Overview of Process and Purpose of Sustainability Appraisal St Edmundsbury Borough Council is preparing a Local Development Framework (LDF) for the Borough, comprising a number of Development Plan Documents (DPDs) that set out the policies and proposals for the development and use of land. As part of the LDF, the Core Strategy DPD will set out the vision, objectives and key policies for the future development of St Edmundsbury. It will supersede the Replacement St Edmundsbury Borough Local Plan. This SA Report has been prepared to fulfil the requirements for SA arising from the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and the requirements for Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) arising from the SEA Directive. The purpose of SA is to promote sustainable development through better integration of sustainability (economic, social and environmental) considerations in the preparation and adoption of plans. The SEA Directive requires that certain plans and programmes undergo an environmental assessment, due to the likelihood that they will have significant environmental effects once implemented. This Sustainability Appraisal Report (SA Report) accompanies the Core Strategy Submission Document. It builds on the earlier SA work undertaken by the Council for the SA Scoping Report, the initial SA of the Core Strategy Issues and Options document (March 2008) and the SA Report of the Core Strategy Preferred Options and Strategic
