Ipswich Borough Council Local Plan Core Strategy and Policies Development Plan Document Review - Final Draft

Policy DM11 Countryside

Representation ID: 26244

Received: 26/02/2020

Respondent: Suffolk Preservation Society

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

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.

Change suggested by respondent:

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 which requires that 'In exercising or performing any functions in relation to, or so as to affect, land in an area of outstanding natural beauty, a relevant authority shall have regard to the purpose of conserving and enhancing the natural beauty of the area of outstanding natural beauty'.
