DC/26/2196/CLP - Lawful Development Certificate(Proposed) Awaiting decision
Extensions & alterations

Proposal

Certificate of Lawful Use (Proposed) - The leased caravan is required strictly on a temporary basis to provide necessary on-site accommodation while interior renovation works are carried out on the primary dwellinghouse, during which time the main house will be structurally uninhabitable. The caravan is expected to be sited on the land for a period of approximately 6 months, starting from August 2026 to January 2026. The caravan will be completely disconnected from utilities and removed from the site within 7 days of the renovation works reaching practical completion and the primary dwellinghouse becoming safe and habitable again.

Site constraints 7

Suffolk Coast & Heaths National Landscape
Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.
Previously an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is still the designation in law. Since 2023 authorities must seek to further its purpose, not merely have regard to it.
Registered park or garden: Broke Hall Park
Nationally designated heritage. Its significance and setting carry great weight.
Registered parks and gardens, battlefields, world heritage sites and protected wrecks are designated heritage assets: harm needs clear and convincing justification.
Historic England ↗
Agricultural land, grade 3b
Not best and most versatile land (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Predicted from the national soil map. The older provisional map, which most planning maps still show, had this area as grade 4. The predicted grade is Defra's current estimate; only a site survey settles it.
Where development of farmland is needed, policy prefers poorer land over the best and most versatile (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Three sources: Natural England's post-1988 field surveys, which are definitive where they exist; the Defra predictive map for England (2025) and the Welsh Government predictive map, modelled from the soil map with 3a and 3b split; and the 1970s provisional map, which planners and other services still show, coarser and with grade 3 undivided. Where the provisional and predicted grades disagree, treat the predicted grade as the current estimate and expect an application to carry its own survey.
Habitat network: Network Expansion Zone
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
2 listed buildings within 150 m; Special protection area 403 m away: Stour and Orwell Estuaries; SSSI 403 m away: Orwell Estuary SSSI.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 11 September 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
