Other recommendations of the Stage 2 Report will be developed after discussion with the Parish Council including a review of the Conservation Area boundary, a survey of significant trees in the village and the establishment of an informal Planning Advisory Group to assist councillors in the assessment of planning applications.

The Planning Working Party submitted a comprehensive response to the draft appraisal of the Walberswick Conservation Area, published last summer by Suffolk Coastal District Council. The majority of our comments were incorporated in the final document which was approved by SCDC in December 2013. The revised appraisal will strengthen planning control in the Conservation Area.
