ST. EDMUNDSBURY BOROUGH COUNCIL

Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990

Notice is hereby given that the St. Edmundsbury Borough Council (“the Council”), as the local planning authority, and in pursuance of the power conferred on them by section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (“the Act”) has, on 11th June 1998, made modifications to the boundaries of the Sicklesmere Conservation Area (in the parish of Great and Little Whelnetham, Suffolk) and the West Stow and Culford Conservation Area (in the Parish of Culford, West Stow and Wordwell, Suffolk). The modifications are as follows: Sicklesmere   The new boundary runs north along the eastern edge of the A134 from the property known as Lark House to the northern edge of the old drive to Rushbrooke House. Then it turns east along this drive, until it reaches the eastern side of the old railway bridge. Here it turns south-east and runs along the eastern edge of the old railway, all the way to the Little Whelnetham Road, which it crosses. It continues to follow the old railway until the tributary to the River Lark, which it then follows, and crosses the old railway south of The Eagle Inn. It then follows the northern boundary to the property known as The Laurels and crosses the A134. The boundary then turns north along the western edge of the A134 until it reaches the property known as Plantation Cottage, where it runs around the garden boundary, including the slope and area of trees to the west of the Cottage. It then runs along the western edge of the A134, rejoining the original boundary just north of the bus depot on the A134. Culford   From the northern point of The Street (above the property known as Ashley House), the boundary now runs south, taking in all of the properties on the eastern side of The Street until it reaches the Benyon Gardens roadway (including the playing fields and properties on The Drift, but excluding the property known as Southdene, the barn to its east and Nos 5-47 Benyon Gardens). It then turns east along the edge of the Benyon Gardens roadway. At the first turning, it crosses the road and travels on eastwards alongside the willow trees at the edge of the waterway, until it reaches the second field boundary. Here, it crosses the waterway and returns west, alongside the willow trees, to The Street, where it turns south along the eastern edge of the roadway. It then follows the northern and eastern boundary of the properties known as Stone Cottages and the eastern, southern and western boundaries of the properties known as Flint Cottages. The boundary then crosses the road and runs south-west along the boundary of South Wood until it reaches the property known as Little Farm. Here, it crosses the road and runs around the garden boundary of Little Farm. Returning to the road again, it crosses over and turns west, running approximately half a mile along the southern boundary of Dixon’s Covert. After crossing the road once more, it then proceeds in a west-south-westerly direction to the River Lark. It crosses the Lark and runs along the southern bank until it reaches the rear boundary of the property known as Tanglewood. Here it crosses the River Lark again, and follows the north-western garden boundary of Tanglewood until it reaches the driveway of that property. It then follows the northern edge of the driveway back to the road and turns north-west along the western edge of the roadway until it meets the former boundary. West Stow   There are no alterations to West Stow’s boundary until north of the property known as Woodside on Ingham Road where, instead of turning eastwards, the boundary continues north along the western side of the roadway and up past the property known as Brick Kiln Cottage (or Kiln Cottage). It then runs along the western garden boundary of Brick Kiln Cottage until reaching the garden’s northern-most point where it returns to the road down the eastern boundaries of Brick Kiln Cottage and the property known as Stradbally. Then it turns eastwards and runs along the northern edge of the roadway until Rats Hall (or Rats Hall Corner). Here it turns north along the road to the west of Rats Hall until it reaches the northern garden boundary of the property known as Number 1. It then turns eastwards to run along the northern garden boundaries to the properties known as Numbers 1, 2, 3 and Sycamore Cottage, before turning down the eastern garden boundary of Sycamore Cottage and re-joining the road. At this point, it turns eastwards along the northern edge of the roadway until it reaches the western boundary of the property known as Red Roof. It then turns to run northwards along the western garden boundaries of the properties known as Red Roof and Forest Hills, turning again to run eastwards along the northern garden boundary of Forest Hills until it reaches the track. It crosses the track and runs along the northern boundary of the property known as The Hill (taking in the ‘Hill of Health’). It then runs southwards down the easten garden boundaries of the properties known as The Hill and Anndale until it reaches the roadway, where it crosses to the southern side of the Triangle and runs south-east along the western edge of the road at the eastern edge of Parsonsgap Covert to join the former boundary at the Street in Culford.   The effects of these changes are that the boundaries of the Conservation Areas are extended and that the provisions of the Act (and all other applicable legislation) shall apply to all of the land now contained therein.   Plans showing the existing and the amended boundaries may be inspected, free of charge, at St. Edmundsbury House, Western Way, Bury St. Edmunds, (or at the Borough Offices, Angel Hill, Bury St. Edmunds, until Friday, 31st July 1998), between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday to Thurdays, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Fridays.
