Representation ID: 25353

Received: 26/10/2017

Respondent: Greenways Countryside Project

Agent: Mr James Baker

Representation Summary:

Local Nature Reserve designation affords proper protection for areas valued by people and wildlife. New LNRs should be designated at:
Holywells Park; Christchurch Park; Chantry Park; Bourne Park; Ellenbrook Meadow and open space; Gippeswyk Park, the Garden Suburb Country Park; Braziers Wood (the only Ancient Woodland within the Borough); Braziers Meadow and Ravenswood open spaces; Pond Hall Farm; Landseer Park; Bramford Lane open space; Stonelodge Park; and Bramford Road Recreation ground.
Also, any site which is used as a receptor site for reptiles, being translocated from development sites, should also be given LNR status to ensure ongoing protection and management.
