Line 2: Dwellings under construction at 31^st March 2020~~2019~~ - assumed that all will be completed over the plan period.

Line 3: Other dwellings with planning permission at 31^stMarch ~~2019~~2020 - assumed that 10% of these will not be completed.

Line 4: Dwellings with a resolution to grant planningpermission from the Council's Planning and Development Committee but which are awaiting completion of a Section 106 Agreement before planning permission is issued, at 31^st March ~~2019~~2020- assumed that 10% of these will not be completed.

Line 5: To reach the minimum requirement of ~~8,010~~8,280 dwellings by 2036, together with windfall sites, further land will need to be allocatedwithin the Borough for at least ~~6,100~~4,431 new homes.

Explanation of Site Rankings Taken From the 2019 SWT Wildlife Audit^[5]

Site Ranking 1 (High Conservation Value): Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs): the most important sites for wildlife within a national context. The criteria used to assess such sites have been developed by English Nature (now Natural England).

Site Ranking 2 (High Conservation Values): County Wildlife Sites (CWSs): these sites have a high priority for protection. Although there is currently no statutory protection, all of Suffolk's local authorities have included a policy in their local plans to protect CWSs from development. The criteria used to assess CWSs have been developed by Suffolk Wildlife Trust, Suffolk County Council, Natural England and Suffolk Biological Records Centre (SBRC) (The County Wildlife Site panel). The information is available on the Suffolk Biodiversity Information Service (SBIS) website: http://www.suffolkbis.org.uk/suffolk-sites/cws.

Site Ranking 3 (Medium Conservation Value): Sites which do not fulfil the criteria for SSSI or CWS status but have a high conservation value: In some districts, these are designated as 'Local Wildlife Sites' when they are situated within urban areas. These sites comprise the best examples of different habitats or are important for a particular species and are assessed of the following criteria:

Non-recreatability;
Diversity and presence of indicator species;
Rarity;
Potential value;
Size;
Woodland;
Scrub;
Grassland;
Created habitats; and
Species.

Site Ranking 4 (Medium Conservation Value): Other Sites of Nature Conservation Interest: sites which are less important for wildlife but still retain a degree of naturalness. Locally common Priority species such as song thrush may be present and also locally common protected species such as reptiles.

Site Ranking 5 (Low Conservation Value): Areas that have limited value for wildlife: These may include arable fields or regularly mown amenity grassland with some features of wildlife value, such as some boundary hedgerows or rough grass margins. In a highly built up area this could also include individual mature trees.

Site Ranking 6 (Low Conservation Value): Areas that have no or very limited value for wildlife: These may include built areas, large arable fields, other disturbed ground or regularly mown amenity grassland with no other semi-natural features.

^[2] Following the creation of East Suffolk Council to replace the former Suffolk Coastal and Waveney District Councils from 1st April 2019, the affordability ratios for 2019

(published in March 2020) are at the East Suffolk level. The East Suffolk affordability ratio is therefore used in this calculation.

^[3] It is not currently considered necessary to establish a new Sixth Form to serve Ipswich, but this will be reconsidered through the next plan review. If further capacity were required, the establishment of a new Sixth Form serving one or both of Ormiston Endeavour and the new Ipswich Garden Suburb secondary could be considered along with other options

^[4] Approximately based on the number of dwellings from policy ISPA4 and SP2 housing allocations.

^[5] See Section 3.2 of the Ipswich Wildlife Audit 2019 (CDL Ref. D21).
