We have been informed by the RSPB that a suggestion was made to add a further point to DM15 – Tall Buildings with regards to the provision of swift bricks in new buildings. This is a sentiment we share at the Suffolk Wildlife Trust, and we note that there are no references to Green Space or biodiversity measures within this policy, which appears to be a valuable missed opportunity. We propose the addition of a further point: k. to incorporate integrated swift bricks”. In addition to this, other biodiversity features could be noted here, such as
the provision of green walls and roofs which would help meet the biodiversity net gain requirements.
