The NMNP is a community-led document and its purpose is to provide policies to help guide development in the Parish from 2020 up to 2036. In order to create a Plan that represents the needs and aspirations of residents, the Town Council has drawn upon several sources, including evidence gathered through a programme of events involving the people and businesses of the town and the nearby Parishes since 2014. These include, consultation days held in June and September 2014, March 2015 and March 2019, Business Community Survey in July 2014, Community Engagement questionnaire in March 2019, school events and pop-up High Street Shop and, consultation on a draft plan in August 2015 together with regular updates in the Needham Market newsletter. Other research and analysis from a wide range of national and local sources has also been examined. This is the Submission Version of the Neighbourhood Plan and it has been amended following public consultation on the 2nd Pre-Submission Version which took place between Friday 17th January 2020 and Tuesday 10th March 2020. All responses received during the public consultation have been analysed and amendments made to the plan as appropriate. This version of the Plan will be submitted to Mid Suffolk District Council in October 2020 who will carry out a further period of public consultation. INTRODUCTION 1: INTRODUCTION 3 ◆ INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Needham Market Neighbourhood Plan will provide the first ever statutory planning policy document specifically for the Town of Needham Market. Neighbourhood Plans such as this were made possible by powers contained within the 2011 Localism Act which sought to decentralise policy making to the local level and give more powers to communities and the right to shape future development where they live. It complements existing national and local planning policy by providing a specifically local level of detail attained through consultation with the local community and further research. 1.2 The Neighbourhood Plan relates to planning matters (the use and development of land) and has been prepared in accordance with the statutory requirements and processes set out in the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended by the Localism Act 2011) and the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations 2012 (as amended). The Neighbourhood Plan Period runs from 2018 to 2036. Once the Plan is “made” (adopted), it will be used by Mid Suffolk District Council to help determine planning applications and will form part of the statutory planning framework for the area. 1.3 The Needham Market Neighbourhood Plan (NMNP) is not a mechanism for stopping development - it is there to ensure that development takes place in an appropriate way for the town. In practice, higher level planning documents such as the emerging Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Local Plan (BMSJLP) cannot feasibly deal with all of the issues particular to every town and village across the two districts, whereas Neighbourhood Plans can by providing additional details which reflect specific local circumstances and conditions. 1.4. The NMNP covers the entire town and the Neighbourhood Plan area was formally designated by Mid Suffolk District Council on 27th September 2013 and is shown on Map 1 below. 1.5 This is the Submission Version of the Needham Market Neighbourhood Plan. The second Pre-Consultation draft of the Needham Market Neighbourhood Plan was consulted on between January and March 2020. The first version was prepared and consulted on in August 2015, however the decision was then made by the Town Council in 2016 to suspend further work on that plan due to lack of progress on the Local Plan and a shortage in 5 Year Housing Land Supply across the District resulting in some appeals being allowed and developments to take place. 1.6 In early 2018, work on the Neighbourhood Plan was resurrected and the Town Council, with Central INTRODUCTION Government funding, instructed AECOM (Master Planning consultants) to produce a feasibility study on the concept of the creation of a relief road, connecting Barking Road with Stowmarket Road. The relief road was intended to form a new development boundary for the town in response to anticipated housing growth and relieving the High Street of additional traffic that will result from that growth. The approach was also intended to provide a strategic plan for new infrastructure (Health, Education etc) commensurate with the demand new housing development generates. 1.7 The draft AECOM report on the Feasibility Study was presented to Town Councillors, representatives from Mid Suffolk District Council and Barking Parish Council (the latter as the projected route of the relief road extends slightly beyond the current Needham Market boundary) in July 2018 and feedback sought. The report was made available for public viewing and a public engagement/consultation event was held in March 2019. The results of those consultation sessions have been accommodated in the final report which will help to influence further reviews of the Neighbourhood Plan. 4 NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN Track Drain ◆ Drain Playing Field Drain NEEDHAMCottage MARKET DESIGNATED AREA Drain Farm Track Old Hall Barn Path 50m 63m Bsns Iss Mill Farm 25m Drain Creeting Hall Crossways Pk All Saints' ERNEST Badley Cottages 23m Track Hall Mill 28m Path Birch Drain D Vale A140 The A Whitegate NUNN O Farm R Cottages Issues Cottage Cottage Drain Fens S 59m 35m I T 45m RO N AD A 61m Issues The Weir S Woodside L Drain L Woodlands Creeting A Track Hall 33m 60m Drain 24m Drain Creeting 40m Drain Pomel 22m 25m 30m Moat Drain Drain Track Trees 29m St Mary Orchard 43m Sch Mast 43m Drain Track Lea E Sinks N Drain A PW Track 28m L Moat Drain 25m H Grove C Moat Vale Track R 40m 35m FB Fen Alder Fox's Farm 30m U Farm Carr H Farm Drain Underpass C River 37m (Ford) 61m 55m The Owl Drain Sch Mast Nursery House 62m Drain 60m 50m S Drain T Gipping Track O Track 35m W M Track A Drain Drain R 40m K Path E 25m Dial Farm Plantations Drain Birch T 32m Weir R Drain 24m Farm O Path A D CREETING ST MARY CP FB Path Drain Drain 55m Seven Cherry Tree 34m Track Drain Acres 45m Farm Watering Track Drain 25m Farm 45m 30m LC Track Issues Pit 40m 50m 50m 28m 35m Keyfield Groves College 34m 40m Farm 45m Doveshill J Moat A Drain Cottages C K Red ' 30m S House Dial Farm Paddock 38m College Farm 51m G 60m R View Bungalow E Track E 62m 25m 50m 55m Keyfield 37m N 40m 45m Badley Walk (Path) B 26m A Sparrow Hall Groves D L E Path R Cottages Y O 32m Path H A I L L D 35m Doveshill Drain 23m Farm Malting Sinks LC Allot Gdns Farm Holt's Drain 35m Hill Farm Lane Drain Raven's Bridge Track 50m 45m Cottage 43m 43m BADLEY CP 51m (Foot Bridge) 30m Coddenham 35m Church 48m 40m Path Track 35m Badley Green Green Badley Bridge Little College 35m 30m Bridge Raven's Farm PW Farm Track Farm 40m 62m (Track) 35m Badley Lane Coddenham Wood 25m Resr 21m 40m Holt's Lane (Track) 38m Track 45m Path 30m S E N Drain R D 23m Co Const Bdy G A ' S LC R Y Badley Hall M A S S T 43m T Coddenham Farm 40m O 45m 45m Track W Row Track Drain 28m M 21m Creeting A 40m Hill R Tk Hills Track S Path Creeting Hills K T Track 53m 28m E GIPSY LANE Path Farm T Farm M Drain Track R A Ppg O DR Sally Drain R The A Drain 44m Path Y Sta D Path 35m D 22m ' Highwayman L S A140 O ROAD 22m Blackwater 50m Wood's (PH) 60m H Track 31m E R 50m 58m E E Weir O Hall Tk Depot B U C K ' 60m N O Path Bucks Head E RF 35m S A S A H E Long L FB A D L D 45m S E C Lane Cottage L A O U N E Strops L H L L L Drain Drain I FREEHOLD A H Dam Track Track G (Track) 45m Little Farm G E 30m 45m 20m T Track S E A14 S O Sl Path Co Const Bdy Track M L Drain 31m E C L FB Tip Co Const Bdy A U D F F O K W (dis) V M 40m O 23m FB E Sl O B R A E D D U Weir S O T 50m L Drain O W E 20m Alder 41m L E F C R H Carr L I Drain 30m H T G O Ash N Mill U H S O R L Oak Hill R D S CE D 20m 25m Covert R A S A O 35m E N T Path R WALK L Drain N T D D 40m 55m L L 50m 60m 40m E Stream N H Blower's A S I R E A R M 50m O O 40m Cousins A C Alder Carr Sally Wood's Pightle D 55m A L S Hill H D K Farm 49m Path O Grove E Drain L Pit 45m W L FB V Path 35m C 55m I P A L A E T (disused) O R G E H V C K Drain 40m I W D High Bridge Lane (Track) I N Hanging T T 35m G I L Coun Drain Track R B E R H G E 19m The S E C (Foot Bridge) Track Grove D N I Path 33m 53m Short Offs G W R R Path 50m O Habitat Path N C R I PW T O E H L Path 35m T T E Lady Well Plantation T L S W 40m I A R D S A Broom Hill L E N N T M 45m P U A A L E X R S G B The 50m E D S I T 45m Long E 30m R R Old Hall E T 35m N B E The Drift (Track) 40m Path Plantation A 24m E E 30m 45m L T Wellfield 28m L 40m Track T 30m Path Needham ' S 19m T H Covert Lodgefield T P Boat E A Crown A14 35m G 35m R Co Const Bdy Row R R I Sewage House A PO P Paddock

There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives.

  • Halesworth Area History Notes

    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.
