Description of commercial modular building system
Banbury Commercial Buildings LtdQuestions raised by planners relating to the planning application. Correct measurements? Garages to used for commercial basis? Construction materials and design not considered suitable for the site adjoining a church.
East Suffolk CCCW Smith, County Planning Officer, writes to state that the proposed siting of the garages is not ideal - better to site in south western corner of garden area. Also that the design, received form Lowestoft office, of the Southwold garages is preferred over those at Aldeburgh.
East Suffolk CCCW Smith, County Planning Officer, writes that the letters crossed in the post. He acknowledges that the application is to be withdrawn.
East Suffolk CCFr Thomson writes to the Planning Officer at County Hall that the proposed garages are, at the Bishop's suggestion, to be similar to those in Southwold for which planning permission was given in 1961/2. Fr Thomson cannot ignore the Bishop and if necessary will continue with the wooden structure already in place. He looks for guidance on how he should inform the contractor, Mr Green.
Thomson, John Henry Rev RD (-1968)Fr Thomson writes to the Planning Officer at County Hall that he is indisposed and cannot deal with the proposal to erect garages - therefore withdraw the application please.
Thomson, John Henry Rev RD (-1968)Writes to the solicitors, Singleton & Co., enclosing papers [not present] pointing out that the design and materials for the garage as as in Southwold and as chosen as an exemplar by the Bishop.
Thomson, John Henry Rev RD (-1968)[undated] Fr Thomson unable to return the papers to the Planning Office, after Mr Green had corrected the measurements, because he agrees the proposal is not in keeping with the surroundings. Quite prepared to abandon the project if suitable changes are too expensive to implement. He awaits Singleton's reply.

Marley Concrete LtdEast Suffolk CC application form for permission to develop land. Completed by Fr Thomson (on behalf of Bishop of Northampton) as tenant. Statement that the two garages are to be built on the site of the RC Church and paid for by a person two whom one of the garages will be leased.
Thomson, John Henry Rev RD (-1968)Pleased to hear from Canon Thomson that agreement has been reached for the garages. Mr Green, a local Contractor, will construct them. Please provide the deeds to support the lease and plans
Singleton & CoAdvises Fr Thomson on answers to questions raised by planners. Notes that Southwold is the suggested exemplar but notes that concrete construction has moved on in the years since it was built. But, so long as the prices is reasonable and it keeps out the rain he will leave it to the builder. The solicitors suggested by Bishop Parker have been to see Bishop Grant and all is well with the lease.
Singleton & CoSingleton & Co., suggests that the Southwold garage design and materials may not be what the planners in Ipswich want. He will write to Mr Green to get a price for concrete block design.
Singleton & CoSingleton has inspected the garages at Southwold - built like the Albert Hall, to last forever. Very expensive - hence unless an alternative idea is proposed he will have to drop the idea of garages by the Presbytery.
