Issues and Options for the Ipswich Local Plan Review
Representation ID: 24691
Received: 30/10/2017
Respondent: RSPB
Agent: RSPB
The RSPB welcomes that the Council recognises the network of wildlife-rich sites, species and habitats; the need to invest in renewable energy; recognition of the need to tackle the threats posed by climate change and the foresight to extend and enhance the Green Infrastructure network across the whole Ipswich Housing Market Area (IHMA).
The critical element is an overall commitment for enhancing biodiversity and this should be at the forefront as an environmental issue in order to be consistent with the national planning policy framework (NPPF).
