Respondent: Sproughton Parish Council

The Council has concerns about overdevelopment of our Parish which, although adjacent to Ipswich, remains a rural village with a significant number of listed historic buildings that have a sense of place set within the countryside that surrounds Sproughton. This farmland based countryside is in itself historic being South of the Gipping divide it forms the North East corner of the more fertile land that is recognised as having the earliest history of agricultural development in the area. It has a local Special Landscape designation which is entirely appropriate with its history, visual value and mix of Landscape Character Types.
