Ixworth7.16 Ixworth is one of the largest Key Service Centres with a Middle and aPrimary School, GPs‟ Surgery, a Library, Police and Fire Station, and range of otherkey services. The A143 borders the village to the east, and the A1088 to thenorth giving good access to Bury St Edmunds and Thetford, and providing naturalboundaries to growth in these areas. There are flood risk areas along rivercorridors to the south and west of the settlement which will also naturally limitgrowth in these directions. The settlement is both compact and constrained bythese features, and these factors, together with the attractive historic core andconservation area will provide challenges when planning for growth in Ixworth.7.17 There is potential to accommodate further housing growth over the planperiod on the eastern edge of the village as a natural extension to an area oftwentieth century housing. This potential has been the subject of considerationwith the local community during Issues and Options stages of preparing the RuralSite Allocations Document.7.18 Employment and housing growth in Ixworth will help sustain existingservices and facilities, although some services, such as the Primary School andwastewater treatment may need to be expanded or improved. The compactcharacter of the village will remain as the flood risk areas to the south and westand the existing roads to the east and north provide defined boundaries for anexpanded settlement.Kedington7.19 Kedington is a settlement divided by the River Stour and a large green areain the centre of the village. The village has a good range of services and facilitiesincluding a primary school, library and range of local shops. It is very close toHaverhill for jobs, shops, leisure and cultural activities. There is a flood risk areaalong the river corridor and this, along with the central green area, and theattractive character of the village creates significant challenges to finding suitablelocations for growth.7.20 Development in Kedington will need to be of a scale to suit both thecharacter of the village and the capacity of services, such as the primary school,and the potential impact of increased traffic on local junctions. Some additionalpopulation will help to sustain the good range of services already present in thevillage.Stanton7.21 Stanton is the largest of the Key Service Centres and is very compact, withthe A143 forming a physical barrier to the west and north of the village. There isa good journey to work bus service to Bury St Edmunds and a large employmentarea, Shepherd‟s Grove, is situated on a former airfield to the east of the village.The centre of the village is a Conservation Area and contains a good range of keyservices, including GPs, Primary and Middle schools, a mobile library, sportsfacilities and open space.7.22 There are opportunities for Stanton to grow within the constraints of theA143 and the capacity of the village services and facilities. The capacity of thewastewater treatment works (which also services Ixworth) may need to beexamined, and additional primary school places provided if significant levels ofgrowth are considered for Stanton.75
7.23 The growth of this Key Service Centre should support the existing goodrange of services and facilities, and should be implemented steadily through theplan period to ensure that the additional population and the demand for servicesand facilities are absorbed gradually into the community.Local Service Centres7.24 Policy CS4 also details those villages which have been identified as LocalService Centres. These Local Service Centre villages with a few services andfacilities, such as a shop and a school, tend to be local centres for a wider ruralarea than the settlement alone. These villages will be able to accommodate somesmall scale growth which will be dependent upon local environmental andinfrastructure capacity of the village concerned. Set out below is a broad overviewof each of these villages, setting out the individual characteristics of eachsettlement. The services and facilities referred to in the villages were in place as ofSpring 2009.7.25 Specific allocations of land for growth will be set out in the Rural SiteAllocations DPD, and local communities will be involved in preparing thisdocument which will determine the most appropriate levels of and the locationsfor growth in each Local Service Centre.Bardwell7.26 Bardwell has a population of 690 and a reasonable level of local services fora village of its size. Although it has a post office Bardwell lacks a conveniencegoods shop, and has poor public transport links to Bury St Edmunds. However, itdoes have a primary school, two pubs, a village hall, and some employment in thevillage, and is close to employment opportunities in Stanton and Ixworth, to whichit has a very basic bus service.Barningham7.27 Barningham has a decent level of local services, commensurate with itspopulation of 928. It has a primary school and convenience goods shop, as wellas a pub and village hall. However, it does have limited local employmentopportunities and a lack of public transport although it is only 2.5 miles fromStanton, approximately 10 miles from Bury St Edmunds and 9 miles to Thetford.Cavendish7.28 Cavendish has a population of 922 and is a significant tourism attraction forSuffolk and East Anglia and has a very good range of local services with threepubs, a post office, village hall, school and a selection of shops. The village doeshowever lack a good bus service to the nearby employment centres in Sudburyand Haverhill.Chedburgh7.29 Chedburgh has a population of 648. It lacks a primary school, and the shophas recently closed. Nearby Chevington has a post office and a shop which isused by Chedburgh residents.
