Paragraph 9.8.3 states that there are 19 County Wildlife Sites in the Borough, however policy CS4 states that there are 20. This should be checked for consistency.

Policy DM10 and Plan 6 set out the green corridors through the town, linking out to the surrounding areas. We note that the policy and plan also include a blue corridor along the River Gipping from the Wet Dock to the edge of the Borough. We query why this corridor is not shown extending east and then south along the Gipping and in to the River Orwell? This whole stretch is designated for its nature conservation value (including Special Protection Area, Ramsar site, SSSI and Country Wildlife Site) and forms an important corridor within and out of the town.

Paragraph 9.8.2 makes reference to the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations, it should be noted that these regulations were updated in 2017 and references to them should be amended accordingly.
