Broadland Catch-Up Newsletter No.11 of the Broadland Catchment Partnership – January 2016 Broadland catch-up Newsletter No.11 of the Broadland Catchment Partnership – January 2016 The Broadland Catchment Partnership (BCP) is seeking to address issues around water quality, water availability, flooding, wildlife habitat and recreation by joining up the management of land and water in the Broadland Rivers Catchment (see opposite). The catchment includes the area that feeds water into the rivers Bure, Waveney, Wensum and Yare and out to sea at Great Yarmouth. The aim of this newsletter is to share relevant information on issues, evidence and activity. Please send us articles. The partnership is involving communities, investor organisations, companies and farmers in working together to improve the catchment.

Introduction 1.1 Lound and Ashby, Herringfleet & Somerleyton are adjoining parishes in the north of Suffolk. The area is rural, with much of the land being used for agriculture. The main settlement areas are the villages of Somerleyton and Lound, with smaller settlements at Herringfleet and Ashby, together with some scattered farmhouses and converted farm buildings or farm workers’ cottages. The two parishes have a combined area of around 2020 hectares, and a total population of around 780 (2011 census). 1.2 Early in 2016 the two parish councils agreed to work together to develop a joint neighbourhood plan. A steering group consisting of residents and Parish Councillors was set up to lead the work. 1.3 One of the initial pieces of work was to agree and gain acceptance from the former Waveney District Council (now East Suffolk Council) and the Broads Authority for the designated Neighbourhood Area.

Biodiversity refers to all of the natural world and all living organisms within it, including plants, animals, bacteria and micro organisms. The convention on biodiversity defines it as: “The variability among living organisms from all sources including terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems, and the ecological complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems” (Source: Natural England website). Introduction to the biodiversity distribution assessment Waveney District has a wide range of wildlife and habitats, including coastline, parkland, arable fields, rivers, hedges and woodlands. Many of these are extremely valuable in their own right and require protection and enhancement. These sites often also form part of a wider network of sites and wildlife corridors that increase the range of habitats that can support local wildlife. Networks of biologically valuable sites often have greater value than each of the sites individually. For this reason Waveney District Council wants to map ecological sites and networks to better understand how they can function alongside other types of green infrastructure. The Waveney District Council Biodiversity Audit was completed in 2007 by Suffolk Wildlife Trust. This biodiversity audit included officially designated sites, county wildlife sites and other sites that were considered to have ecological value.
