Representations on BMSDC Joint Local Plan Consultation Document (Interactive) - Q69
COMMENT Taylor Wimpey represented by Boyer Planning (Mr. James Bailey)
Summary:
We believe that the strategy of the Plan should be addressing the "needs" of the Districts.
At present, this housing need should look to provide over and above the number of dwellings required for the population of both Babergh and Mid Suffolk.
We also consider that the Plan's strategy should also include the unmet housing need of neighbouring authorities, in order to address deprivation across the entire HMA.
COMMENT Dr Jonathan Tuppen
Summary:
The strategy of the Plan should be flexible enough to address additional social issues which will arise during the lifetime of the document; for example the needs of an increasing elderly population.
Financial Depravation is identified as an issue in rural areas due to lack of affordable housing. A push for good value affordable and starter homes in rural areas needs to be a priority.

COMMENT Old Newton Parish Council (Mrs Karen Price)
Summary:
With increased housing within the village we need to become eligible for bus services to Stowmarket. Currently public transport is not acceptable for deprived families. Our local support network is struggling to meet demand to assist the elderly and less fortunate to attend local supermarkets, market towns and health services.

SUPPORT Haughley Park Consortium represented by Boyer Planning (Mr. James Bailey)
Summary:
We consider that the Councils' emerging Joint Local Plan should seek to address the needs of the District, both in terms of housing and employment needs. We also consider that the Councils' housing and employment need should include the unmet need of surrounding Districts.
COMMENT Stowmarket Town Council (Ms Michelle Marshall)
Summary:
Stowmarket Town Council believes that a focus of the Joint Local Plan should be the provision of affordable housing, which may help to address deprivation.
COMMENT Mendlesham Parish Council (Mrs Sharon Jones )
Summary:
This is a consideration but not necessarily prime focus

Summary:
We believe that the strategy of the Plan should be addressing the "needs" of the Districts.
At present, this housing need should look to provide over and above the number of dwellings required for the population of both Babergh and Mid Suffolk.
We also consider that the Plan's strategy should also include the unmet housing need of neighbouring authorities, in order to address deprivation across the entire HMA.
OBJECT Stowupland Parish Council (Claire Pizzey)
Summary:
This question seems to have appeared from nowhere; no suggestion of how the strategy could address deprivation but the answer has to be 'yes, the strategy should address deprivation' but we need to see draft policies in order to make comment.
COMMENT Miss R P Baillon
Summary:
The Plan should address deprivation but should not be totally focussed upon it as there are many other issues that need to be addressed.
COMMENT Cllr John Hinton
Summary:
Considering the provision of open space, sports and pool/ leisure in areas of apparent "deprivation", it appears as a simplistic solution that there is sufficient - it just requires, where there is apparently a deprived population, some incentive for them to use the facilities!
COMMENT Bacton Parish Council (mrs tina newell)
Summary:
Residents in rural areas who rely on public transport experience difficulty accessing services that are taken for granted in urban areas.
COMMENT Mr Peter Powell
Summary:
The strategy of the Plan should be flexible enough to address additional social issues which will arise during the lifetime of the document; for example the needs of an increasing elderly population
COMMENT Mr Philip Schofield
Summary:
It should include it, eg as part of enhancing employment opportunities through improved education
COMMENT Sproughton Parish Council (Mrs Susan Frankis)
Summary:
Yes but needs to be broader and not purely deprivation, strategy needs to be flexible for the Plan lifetime to provide for an ageing population.

Financial Depravation is identified as an issue in rural areas due to lack of affordable housing. A push for good value affordable and starter homes in rural areas needs to be a priority.
COMMENT Acton Parish Council (Mr Paul MacLachlan)
Summary:
The Plan should seek to ensure that social housing addresses deprivation by providing good sized accommodation (meeting at least the Nationally Described Space Standards) in appropriate locations with access to adequate medical, education and transport infrastructure.
Footpaths and cycle ways should be provided within such developments.
COMMENT Botesdale & Rickinghall CAP Group (Mr. William Sargeant)
Summary:
The strategy of the plan should include provisions to reduce deprivation.
COMMENT Essex County Council (Matthew Jericho)
Summary:
Healthy Communities heavily focused on health infrastructure/access to green space. Public Health evidence on spatial planning includes supporting increase in active travel - walking/cycling, access to healthy food environments, promoting air quality - car sharing/increasing active travel, good housing design to support people across life-course including aged, increasing community cohesion and safety through good design and use of HIA.
Essex actively encourage adoption of Healthy New Town and Active Design Principles. Wish to ensure our residents have connectivity to allow them to cross borders easily and ask that this is considered.
Encourage input of SCC Public Health for local advice/guidance.
COMMENT Tattingstone Parish Council (mrs Jane Connell-Smith)
Summary:
the focus of the plan should be on addressing deprivation and supporting rural communities with a high percentage of elderly residents.

Tackling deprivation should always be a primary concern
COMMENT Mrs Tania Farrow
Summary:
This should always be considered but a sensible balance needs to be achieved
COMMENT Mr Alan Lewis
Summary:
Given the significant number of income deprived people in the district and objective of reducing deprivation would contribute to the overall vision of improving the standard of living for all. This objective could then feature in policy considerations for rural growth and employment which are the two measures the council has at its disposal to address the issue.
OBJECT Yaxley Parish Council (Mr Philip Freeman)
Summary:
No this should be a national matter.
COMMENT Stowmarket Society (Mr Michael Smith)
Summary:
We assume you mean Open Space deprivation? Yes, you should have an inventory of up to date needs, with areas that suffer from Open Space deprivation identified. Projects within these areas can be promoted.
COMMENT Mrs Rhona Jermyn
Summary:
Needs to be more that deprivation, strategy needs to be flexible for a plan lifetime to provide for the aging population
SUPPORT Mr Carroll Reeve
Summary:
Yes, but not confined to deprivation, early intervention may stop any regression into this.
OBJECT Little Waldingfield Parish Council (Mr Andy Sheppard)
Summary:
NO, LWPC believes that policies should relate to local identified needs.
COMMENT Little Cornard Parish Council (Mr Dave Crimmin)
Summary:
Deprivation is but one aspect. Care must be taken not to concentrate on deprivation to the exclusion of the larger population.
COMMENT Long Melford Parish Council (Mr Robert Wiliams)
Summary:
If the plan policies have a significant effect on deprivation, then those policies should be given full status. Any focus should not be to the exclusion of others; it should be a plan for all.
SUPPORT Stradbroke Parish Council (Odile Wladon)
Summary:
Yes particularly rural deprivation. Of the option choices listed on pages 71 and 72. Councillors support OS2, NROS2, POS2, CF2. It is felt that better public transport facilities would assist with rural deprivation particularly for those students trying to access Post 16 education or training.
COMMENT Nedging with Naughton Parish Council (Miss LYNN ALLUM)
Summary:
In view of the increasing extent of deprivation evident there should be focus in the plan effect improvements.
COMMENT Lavenham Parish Council (Carroll Reeve)
Summary:
Yes, but not confined to deprivation, early intervention may stop any regression into this.
COMMENT Kersey Parish Council (Mrs Sarah Partridge)
Summary:
The strategy of the Plan should be to increase the opportunities for growth and wealth rather than focusing on deprivation.

The strategy of the Plan should be flexible enough to address additional social issues which will arise during the lifetime of the document; for example the needs of an increasing elderly population.
OBJECT Mr Neil Lister
Summary:
Address deprivation alongside all factors that improve the health of communities.
COMMENT Fressingfield Parish Council (Mr Alexander Day)
Summary:
It is the view of the Parish Council that addressing the problem of deprivation should be embedded in every aspect of the local plan. Deprivation is pernicious and impacts on health, education, crime and community well being.The underlying approach to improving deprivation should be driven by the facts on p69 (Hidden Needs Report 2016) and so a greater emphasis should be placed on moving those from areas of deprivation towards urban rather than rural areas.Ease of transport links, both private and public and accessibility to greater employment opportunities must be considered alongside planning to eradicate deprivation in our communities.
COMMENT Mr John Kitson
Summary:
The strategy of the Plan should be flexible enough to address deprivation and additional social issues which will arise during the lifetime of the document; for example the needs of an increasing elderly population.
COMMENT Wortham & Burgate Parish Council (mrs Netty Verkroost)
Summary:
Yes where approriate
COMMENT Diss & District Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group (Ms Deborah Sarson)
Summary:
The DDNPSG is conscious that there are areas of deprivation within the NP Area but not specifically within the part in Mid Suffolk. It is currently minded to take the approach that increasing education, training and skills to match them with a growing economic base thereby offering more employment, coupled with creating opportunities to access suitable housing, will provide the best means of lifting individuals out of deprivation.
COMMENT Cockfield Parish Council (Mr Doug Reed)
Summary:
Cockfield Parish Council maintains that the policy should not be expressly focused on deprivation but that deprivation should be addressed on the basis of needs.
COMMENT Mrs Kathie Guthrie
Summary:
Need to have a mindful but balanced approach.
COMMENT Chelmondiston PC (Mrs Rosie Kirkup)
Summary:
Yes, as in lack of affordable housing, lack of adequate public transport and lack of facilities at a local level for those who do not have cars.
SUPPORT Mr. A. Breen
Summary:
Deprivation though not an especially significant factor in Babergh and Mid Suffolk can be easily hidden. The gentrification of rural areas could divorce large elements of the population from the challenging realities faced by a minority. The integration of a range of house types should help but only if all communities shared in the objective of tackling deprivation and not just send the needy elsewhere.
COMMENT Capel St Mary Parish Council (Mrs Julie Lawes)
Summary:
No. The needs of the wider community should be addressed.
COMMENT Palgrave Parish Council (Sarah Foote)
Summary:
It should address deprivation but be balanced by not compromising addressing other needs.
SUPPORT Debenham Parish Council (Mr Richard Blackwell)
Summary:
As a 'corporate' community we are morally responsible for the wellbeing of our neighbours. As such the plan should recognise that responsibility within the policies it puts forward.
COMMENT Mr Richard Blackwell
Summary:
