A Message from Woodbridge Riverside Trust
Please read this notice carefully
We would love your support for our planning application
Planning application number DC/26/1751/FUL
What IS our planning application about?
A modest widening of the permitted uses within the existing building, whilst retaining its underlying maritime focus. The change will permit a wider range of activities in the Gallery and workshop areas (such as evening classes, prestigious craft exhibitions and events for the benefit of the whole community). Maritime related activities, and boatbuilding remain key.
It proposes no extension to the building, or alteration to its external appearance, no additional parking, and no change that would affect the character of a Conservation area.
Does it change anything for the Sutton Hoo ship project? NO This application is not about ‘occupancy’ of The Longshed.
It will not affect the Sutton Hoo Ship’s Company’s terms and conditions under which they have space in The Longshed. That will remain the same regardless of the outcome of the Planning Application.
If you want to know more, please read the planning application and you can decide then whether or not to support it. The Longshed is a community building and as such should serve as wide a range of community interests as practicable.
It can be done
Your approval of our application could, if approved, help the Woodbridge Riverside Trust to enhance and extend the options for community activities in The Longshed now and in the future.
Any changes will not affect anything that happens on Whisstocks Place which is owned and managed by Woodbridge Town Council.
The application can be found on the Planning Portal or via East Suffolk Council’s website. The reference number is DC/26/1751/FUL
