The Suffolk Coasts and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is only referred to in policy DM11 in terms of major development within the AONB. The policy should relate to all development both in, and within the setting of, the AONB. We suggest that the policy is reworded so that it is clear that it fulfils the statutory duty under section 85 of the 2000 CROW Act.
