The AONB team support the objectives of this policy. European protected sites are now called Habitats Sites and the policy should be amended to reflect this for accuracy- see below
"Sites of International and National Importance
Proposals which would have an adverse impact on Habitats Sites will not be permitted, either alone or in combination with other proposals, unless imperative reasons of overriding public interest exist in accordance with the provisions of the European Habitats Directive."

Conditions a. and c. in relation to SSSI's clearly conflict with Paragraph 175b of the NPPF which only allows for Condition b. (benefits outweighing impacts). This Policy should be updated to reflect this.
Delete conditions a and c.

Existing green rim is an asset and should be protected by adding it to CS4, especially as IBC have previously massively reduced its size and are now attempting to reclassify it and destroy it. Not clear what RAMS S106 payments agreed with CBRE and Crest sites as S106 are not publicly available. If no RAMS tariffs included in the S106 agreements this could be in breach of this SPD and policies CS4, CS17 and Policy DM31 of the adopted CS. New CS would be unsound in relation to CS4 CS17 and DM 8 as no means of funding the required.
Add green rim as an asset to CS4.

The Council is supportive of this policy and the approach it takes. However, the equivalent policy within the Suffolk Coastal Final Draft Local Plan (Policy SCLP10.1) refers to the Recreational Avoidance and Mitigation Strategy (RAMS), and as such provides a development management policy approach to implementing the strategy which has been worked up on a cross-boundary basis. In this respect, to be effective, Policy DM8 could be strengthened through reference to securing contributions to facilitate the implementation of the strategy.
Add reference to securing contributions to facilitate the implementation of the RAMS.
