Representation Summary:

Two of the sites (IP143 and IP067b) make up a substantial part of Green Corridor F, forming the semi-natural habitat link between the south-western boundary of Landseer Park Carr County Wildlife Site (CWS) and the western boundary of the Volvo Raeburn Road CWS. If these sites are fully developed, this ecological network would be interrupted. This is the longest existing ecological network in Ipswich, and if sensitive development is undertaken in the Ravenswood area, then this corridor could be continued to the east. See suggested extension route. Map refers to Wildlife Audit 2012/2013, which is out-of-date (see 2019 update).

Change suggested by respondent:

Extend Green Corridor F as suggested. Update Map to 2019.
