Of theurbanity and impartiality with which Mr. Loclte ac- quitted himself of the duties of Fresident, it is unnecessary to say a word ; all that he said and did is so recent, and has becn so universally approved. TheNembers of Council, and those who enjoyed his friendship, will long lament the loss of a g-enid com- panion, and the Institution a valuable and influential Member. The discussion upon the Paper, No. 1,028, ‘‘ On Breakwatcrs,” by Mr. N. Scott, which was commenced at the last Meeting of Session 1859-60,’ was resumed, and occupied the entire evening, to the exclusion of anyother subject. The whole of thedis- cussion is printed consecutively, in the Minutes of Proceedings for 1859-60. November 20, 1860. GEORGE PARKER BIDDER, President, in the Chair.

    IPSWICH BOROUGH COUNCIL LOCAL PLAN SITE ALLOCATIONS AND POLICIES (INCORPORATING IP-ONE AREA ACTION PLAN) DEVELOPMENT PLAN DOCUMENT REVIEW – FINAL DRAFT FINAL DRAFT, JANUARY 2020 www.ipswich.gov.uk SITE ALLOCATIONS AND POLICIES (INCORPORATING IP-ONE AREA ACTION PLAN) DEVELOPMENT PLAN DOCUMENT REVIEW FOREWORD Following adoption of the Local Plan review in February 2017, the Council has been cooperating in the production of an aligned local plan with the Councils that adjoin the borough boundaries and share in the same housing market with the town. The Council maintains the belief that the planning of our town is one of our key roles and as such we are, once again, pleased to set out our vision, objectives and strategy for the future development of Ipswich. It is vital that we maintain up to date policies that conform with national guidance so that we can protect and enhance the town’s key assets. We continue to work for the town’s future and seek to manage changes that benefit the town’s existing residents, businesses and visitors. We are pleased to set out within this document our draft policies and proposals for sites allocated for development in the town, and also other sites which we believe will benefit from protection from development. The overarching framework for development in Ipswich Borough to 2036 is set out in the Final Draft Core Strategy and Policies Development Plan Document. The Final Draft Core Strategy also identifies Ipswich Garden Suburb as a strategic site for development in Ipswich, and the northern end of Humber Doucy Lane as a cross- border allocation for future growth.

    Chairman’s Chat As it is ages since I wrote the last Chairman’s chat, a lot has happened ! After a busy winter of analysing last summer’s bat detector recordings and hibernation checks, we’re gearing up for the 2018 survey season. I hope that many of you, particularly our new members, will take the opportunity to join in the fun and learn more about bats. By the time you read this, SBG will have taken an active role in the Suffolk Mammal Conference – organised by Suffolk Naturalists Society and Suffolk Mammal Group; our county bat recorder Alan Miller is giving a presentation on the First 35 years of Suffolk Bat Group and we will take a display on our new Bat Atlas. I hope you will all have Thursday 12 April on your calendar for our AGM – anyone interested in getting more involved please come along to find out what your Committee do. Our guest speaker this year will be Sarah Mackinnon who will be telling us about habitat selection by Barbastelle bats, from her work on the STANTA battle area in the Norfolk Brecks. I’m still jealous she got to do her MSc on Barbies and when she gave this talk to Essex BG last month, it was standing room only! This is also a handy time for me to reminder everyone that membership renewals will R be due in April - we run this from the AGM not on the anniversary of joining - and E please set up a payment with your bank or online so you don’t forget.
