Respondent: River Action Group

Agent: Mr James Baker

The Group would like to see the Plan identify and protect areas of undeveloped land alongside the river for wildlife (and public access) benefit. Proper maintenance and monitoring of the habitats and corridor is essential to ensure the wildlife network functions are delivered, and additional resources are required for this.
A strong link along the corridor into Babergh district is vital - the river corridor as a route for people and a vital part of the wildlife network, doesn't stop at the Borough boundary. Closely linked policies in the neighbouring Local Plans would ensure sensible continuity of purpose.
