A balanced cut and fill earth moving operation to create an irrigation reservoir. No materials to be brought onto or leave site. Why necessary for agriculture: Blue Barn Farm is under new owner ship, investment is ongoing to expand root vegetable production on the light land. The existing reservoir is only able to provide irrigation for less than half the farm. The Felixstowe Hydrocycle has allowed more water availability, this must be reservoir stored. Why designed for agriculture: The farm has a network of underground irrigation mains which are pressurized by a pump house at the existing reservoir. The new reservoir will siphon water down to the existing pump house, no additional pumping infrastructure or power will be required.

Excavation of an agricultural storage lagoon, and the siting, design and external appearance of an ancillary pump house building.

Prior Notification - Conversion of former Farm Building to full residential use (A Dwelling House)

Prior Approval - A balanced cut and fill earthmoving operation to create an irrigation water reservoir. No materials are to be brought to or removed from site. The reservoir will be surrounded by grassed earth banks. Why necessary for agriculture: Approximately 2/3rds of the arable land is light irrigatable land that would benefit from irrigation. The existing irrigation reservoir and abstraction license enables part, but not all of that land to be irrigated and used for irrigatable vegetable crops. The farm is a member of the Felixstowe Hydrocyle project (a collaboration between 6 local farming businesses to utilise excess water from the Kings Fleet for agricultural irrigation on the Felixstowe peninsular) with an allocation of 125,000m3 and requires the new reservoir for the storage of water associated with the project. Why designed for agriculture: The reservoir is adjacent to the new supply pipeline from Felixstowe Ferry pump house and adjacent to the existing underground distribution system serving the farm. High pressure underground pipelines connect take off hydrants in all the irrigable fields.
