Vision
Our vision for Bredfield is of a thriving and vibrant village community, ready to welcome a degree of controlled growth, provided it does not put at risk our valued green spaces, our environmental and historic assets, our relatively safe roads, or the freedom from light pollution which the village currently enjoys.
To achieve this vision, we intend to:
- Introduce policies and other measures to ensure the protection of our village environment and rural tranquillity for future generations to enjoy
- Encourage and support local activities and facilities that enhance our already vibrant community spirit
- Seek to define and support a greater degree of protection for villagers and passers-by from speeding traffic and HGVs
- Clearly delineate the boundaries, size, appearance and overall scale for future housing development
We expect to see the following results from implementing our Plan:
Our village environment – our existing open green spaces will be well-tended and protected from unwanted development; our much-loved views and other important natural and historic environmental features and assets will have been recognised and appreciated; and our footpaths, hedges, ancient trees and ditches well-maintained.
Our village community – will be active and engaged in the life of the village, with a thriving shop, sports and social clubs, regular activities in the village hall, a well-supported church and chapel, if possible, a re-opened pub/restaurant, and with better broadband and other communication facilities.
Our roads – our villagers will enjoy a greater measure of protection from speeding traffic and HGVs, with improved signage, more pavements and safety measures for pedestrians and cyclists, and improved parking provision; also, most importantly, safer access to the A12.
Our housing stock – our existing historic houses and other buildings will have been identified and recognised as worthy of protection, and an appropriate number of attractively-designed new houses, predominantly one/two bedrooms (partly to attract younger people into the village), will have been built in areas delineated by the Parish Council, in consultation with villagers, as being suitable for such development.
