Representation Summary:

Further to our previous concerns about Pond Hall, we welcome the inclusion of new policy SP8. IBC has committed to carrying out a study into visitor use and bird disturbance around Orwell Country Park and Pond Hall, which will provide a baseline and be used to inform visitor management measures at the park. Natural England advises that with these measures in place, as informed by the study, the policy is not likely to have a significant effect in terms of the Habitats Regulations. The planned visitor centre feasibility study should include a separate project level Habitats Regulations Assessment.
