BABERGH AND MID-SUFFOLK JOINT LOCAL PLAN CONSULTATION
A Sustainability Appraisal is available for consultation alongside the Babergh and Mid-Suffolk Joint Local Plan: Consultation Document (August 2017), upon which comments are also invited.
To view the Sustainability Appraisal, visit MSDC's website: www.midsuffolk.gov.uk/jointlocalplan
The base document is tricky to find, so a copy (dated August 2017) can be opened directly from here.
The complete set of related documents are listed and downloadable from the MSDC site here.
Point of interest: Wingfield, it is suggested, will be redesignated upward from 'hamlet and countryside' to 'hinterland village'. Amongst other things, that potentially means that the village will have to absorb not 5% of the projected housing growth, but 15%.

Road Closure Notice
February 2017
Is Wingfield Green a mess or as it should be?
At the risk of opening a can of worms, there have been a number of suggestions over the years as to how the Green could be better utilised or maintained, but these have come to nothing for a variety of reasons, none of them under the control of WPC.
The basics need to be made right first - should the scrub be pushed back, should topping be carried out, should more grazing be allowed, should the lost mere be properly re-instated, should…? If WPC could gauge where local opinions are on these matters then we might be able to more effectively apply pressure to get things - anything - done. No cans of worms though, please - just drop a line to David Young at clerk@wingfield-pc.org.uk.
December 2016
During the December WPC meeting it became very clear that there has been something of a crime wave taking place in Wingfield and Syleham over the last few weeks. In absolute terms the numbers are tiny, but since the starting point was effectively zero then the percentage increase in incidents is huge.
In the absence of a formalised Neighbourhood Watch Scheme, the Parish Council are asking residents to contact the Parish Clerk with any reports of suspicious callers, people, vehicles… even Webslave will be asking himself some pretty searching questions as to his whereabouts last week as soon as you’ve stopped reading this page.
Break-ins to sheds and garages seem to be popular at present and there have been a number of separate sightings of lurkers and unexplained vans in driveways.
It seems that the only way the Parish can arouse any interest from Suffolk Constabulary is to present a joined-up set of sightings and supporting information - hence our decision to use the Parish Clerk as our central point of contact.
If you see something that doesn’t seem quite right, please don’t ignore it - let David Young know by emailing clerk@wingfield-pc.org.uk and then we have a chance of getting this person / these people caught and removed. Unfortunately the rest of this paragraph has been sto
