The Borough and surrounding areas have a wide network of wildlife-rich sites, ranging from those of international importance (such as the Stour and Orwell Estuaries Special Protection Area (SPA) to those of more local importance. These sites are part of a valuable network and the Local Plan must protect all areas
of ecological value. This should include sites designated for their nature conservation interest, including County Wildlife Sites (CWS), and areas of greenspace that, whilst undesignated, contribute to the overall biodiversity value of the area.
