THE present volume begins the third decade of systematic rainfall publication, and, like a birthday, suggests reflections concerning the past. The contrast between the four pages for 1860 and the 260 pages of the present volume, great as it is, is not so great as the change in the nature of the information given both as to quality and extent. As regards quality ; not merely have instruments been improved, and observers supplied with rules aiming at rigorous uniformity, but they are required to forward their returns in much fuller detail than in the early years, and the records are submitted to an amount of critical examination which I do not think any one except my assistants and myself realizes. Perhaps I ought to make an exception of two or three observers whose returns having been proved faulty have been cross thereat. Happily, this is a rare frame of mind, and the staff is now large enough for us to lose with equanimity the services of the very few who esteem their own aviotir prnpre of greater importance than accuracy. As regards extent; the development has two distinct branches— (1) The details given for each station are now very full; there is the chronicle of the weather, there are notes of heavy falls in very short periods, details of very Avet days, details of monthly fall, and ample particulars as to the relation of the year to the average of previous years. Not a trace of any one of these subjects, except the last, is to be found in British Rainfall, 1860. (2) The number of stations was 168, which was nearly double the number ever before collected together. The present volume contains records from 2,114 stations for 1880, or more than twelve times the original number. I am glad to find that out of those 168 earliest correspon­ dents, 60 still remain among the contributors. I am myself sometimes astonished at the magnitude of this amateur organization, without either State aid, magniloquent title, managing council or pecuniary resources except the voluntary contributions of the staff—a staff, whereof the members rarely see one another, and still more rarely see their chief, who reside in all parts of the country, from the Channel Islands in the South to the Shetlands in the far North, and from County Kerry in the South-West of Ireland to the Eastern­ most verge of England at Lowestoft; who include nearly every social grade from peer to peasant; and yet who (with exceptions so rare that they take me by surprise) work with a regularity and heartiness which is beyond praise. Why do they do it ? Minor motives may have some influence, but I believe that the leading sentiment which binds together British Kainfall observers is the consciousness that they are helping gradually to store up a mass of information which is, and will yearly become increasingly, valuable to the nation at large-r-in relation alike to Agriculture, Sani­ tation, and the proper appropriation of the water supply of the British isles. G. J. SYMONS. 62, CAMDEN SQUARE, LONDON, N.W. June 10th, 1881. REPORT. THE work of the past year has been unusually heavy, not merely in consequence of the gradual growth of the organization, but because in addition to the regular routine two separate and very heavy series of tables have had to be prepared. Ordinary Routine.—Although it may seem somewhat purposeless to repeat what has been stated in previous volumes, yet it must be remembered that it is certain that this volume will fall into the hands of many persons who have not read the previous ones, hence a certain amount of repetition is necessary. As regards the ordinary routine of the office, the mass of General Tables at the end of this work is perhaps the best exponent of its nature— not the <>xtent of the tables alone, or indeed chiefly, but that which is less easily ascertained, their quality. And by the word quality I desire to express many things. The quality of a set of tables depends, in the first place, upon the absence of errors. Astonishment is often expressed that this work does not appear until nearly six months after the expiration of the year to which it refers, but if those who think it tardy, could but spend a day or two in watching the system of checking which is adopted, they would share my opinion, that con­ sidering the limited staff, and the exhaustive examination which the records undergo, the noteworthy feature is that it is all done within less than six months. As regards the verification of the casting of several hundred of the daily register forms, I am this year indebted to two of my observers, Mr. J. Alexander, formerly of Sudbury, and Mr. Slade, C.E., of Leamington,—jointly their labours must have saved us nearly a hundred hours' work. In connection with the Meteorological Magazine, Avith the maintenance of records in mountainous parts of the British Isles, and on certain watersheds, I receive monthly returns from about 250 stations, say altogether about 3000 such returns. All these are not

These meetings were advertised by delivering a flyer to every house in the two parishes, and by putting posters on the village notice boards and websites. A letter was also sent to all local businesses and other local organisations. The events were well attended, with 50 people visiting Somerleyton village hall, and 28 people visiting Lound village hall Consultation meeting at Somerleyton Post-it notes for residents’ comments Residents were able to view maps and to comment on various local issues using ”post-it” notes, which proved a very successful way of collecting their views. At the end of the meetings 330 comments had been received, and these were analysed. A summary of the comments which was displayed on the village notice boards and websites, and is shown below: NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 29 Lound with Ashby, Herringflet, and Somerleyton Neighbourhood Plan CONSULTATION DAY 13TH NOVEMBER 2016 THE KEY ISSUES RAISED BY THE COMMUNITY WERE: Housing.

The Mill Farm Field allocation has been reduced from 45 to 35 homes and this statement sets out why the allocation should be increased to 45 homes. 1.2 This Matter Statement answers the Inspectors questions which are: “Are the allocations for development soundly‐based; are the criteria set out in the relevant policies justified and effective; and is there evidence that the development of the allocations is viable and deliverable in the timescales indicated in Appendix 3 of the plan?” 1.3 We are clear that the allocations are soundly based, are an appropriate strategy, and are deliverable. The landowner is advised on estate management, and development matters by Savills. Savills advice is that the allocations are viable and deliverable. The landowner has housebuilder interest in the allocations, and we are confident that they can come forward within the timescales set out in Appendix 3 of the Local Plan. 1.4 We firstly set out the background to the village and the allocations.

Introduction 1.1 Lound and Ashby, Herringfleet & Somerleyton are adjoining parishes in the north of Suffolk. The area is rural, with much of the land being used for agriculture. The main settlement areas are the villages of Somerleyton and Lound, with smaller settlements at Herringfleet and Ashby, together with some scattered farmhouses and converted farm buildings or farm workers’ cottages. The two parishes have a combined area of around 2020 hectares, and a total population of around 780 (2011 census). 1.2 Early in 2016 the two parish councils agreed to work together to develop a joint neighbourhood plan. A steering group consisting of residents and Parish Councillors was set up to lead the work. 1.3 One of the initial pieces of work was to agree and gain acceptance from the former Waveney District Council (now East Suffolk Council) and the Broads Authority for the designated Neighbourhood Area.
