The Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Local Plan - Preferred Options Consultation (Reg 18) was approved by Babergh Full Council on 25th June 2019 and Mid Suffolk Full Council on 27th June 2019. This is an important document which will provide the strategy for the growth of the Districts, setting out what and where development will take place up to 2036.

Residents, local businesses and stakeholders are invited to have their say on the new Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Local Plan. The Joint Local Plan - Preferred Options (Reg 18) is open for consultation from Monday 22nd July. Comments must be received by 4pm on Monday 30th September 2019. 

The Parish council, with the help of a voluntary development group, had previously reviewed the draft plan and as part of the consultation submitted comments to questions on the key areas that could affect Beyton.  

The main key areas were to ensure that:

  • Beyton keeps its unique identity and landscape and remains a distinct village
  • Potential development is of a scale and character that blends and enhances the village
  • New housing addresses the needs of all, particularly first time buyers, those on lower incomes and the elderly
  • Development sites identified are appropriate and that development in Beyton is consistent for the type of village it is within Mid-Suffolk
  • Village infrastructure (drainage, power, broadband) is able to cope with any additional demand
  • Changes to villages around us do not have an adverse impact on Beyton due to the additional traffic generated.
