Representation Summary:

The CS cannot guarantee the delivery of the Country Park in a timely manner and so demonstrate it will not adversely affect the integrity of a European designated habitat, namely the Stour and Orwell Estuary Special Protection Area. For soundness policy CS10 and Infrastructure Table 8B need to be revised. The Country Park and green areas need to be established before building starts as it takes a long time for such habitats to mature. If this doesn't happen then there will be no 'Garden' part of the promised 'Garden Suburb' for at least 20 years.
