ABP supports the allocation of Site IP262 and the wording of the site allocation details. The site (which totals c 5.6ha in area, some of which is in Babergh DC's adjoining administrative area) is in the ownership of ABP and adjoins the Power Station Berth which has the benefit of a licence allowing the handling of explosive materials under the Dangerous Substances in Harbour Areas Regulations 1987 and consents to both ABP and Origin under the Planning (Hazardous Substances) Act 1990 and the Planning (Hazardous Substances) Regulations 1992 for the handling of ammonium nitrate fertiliser. ABP welcomes the identification of the site for port-related uses (which are not defined or limited in the DPD). As the full extent of the site intended for port-related use is split by the Borough boundary, a note referencing this adjoining area would be beneficial in aiding understanding of the full extent of the area capable of development (not least given the proximity of the Orwell Country Park SSSI and Nature Reserve).
