Well, I had the same sensation when I woke on Monday 15 June. It felt different and all because it was the day when ‘non-essential’ CORONAVIRUS FUNDING BOOST shops were allowed to reopen. This development makes me extremely happy, Sunday happy, because I’ve hated walking by closed shops for so long, knowing Communities have received more than £100,000 in vital funding from Babergh how the enforced closure has impacted on owners and staff.

    Waveney Open Space Needs Assessment | July 2015 Biodiversity Distribution Biodiversity refers to all of the natural world and all living organisms within it including plants, animals, bacteria and micro organisms. www.waveney.gov.uk/planningpolicy 19 Waveney Open Space Needs Assessment | July 2015 | Biodiversity Distribution www.waveney.gov.uk/planningpolicy 20 Waveney Open Space Needs Assessment | July 2015 | Biodiversity Distribution What is biodiversity? 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.

Natural and semi-natural green spaces have been defined as “land, water and geological features which have been naturally colonised by plants and animals and which are accessible on foot to large numbers of residents2.” They are areas of undeveloped land with limited or no maintenance which have been colonised by vegetation and wildlife and include woodland, railway embankments, river and canal banks, road verges and derelict land. The primary function of natural and semi-natural green space is to promote biodiversity and nature conservation but they are also important for environmental education and awareness. This section of the Open Space Needs Assessment provides an overview of natural and semi-natural green space. It follows on from the ‘Biodiversity Distribution’ section which has considered open space with biodiversity value.

  • Non-Technical Summary
    St Edmundsbury Borough Council Core Strategy Submission Document Sustainability Appraisal Report Non-Technical Summary Overview of Process and Purpose of Sustainability Appraisal St Edmundsbury Borough Council is preparing a Local Development Framework (LDF) for the Borough, comprising a number of Development Plan Documents (DPDs) that set out the policies and proposals for the development and use of land. As part of the LDF, the Core Strategy DPD will set out the vision, objectives and key policies for the future development of St Edmundsbury. It will supersede the Replacement St Edmundsbury Borough Local Plan. This SA Report has been prepared to fulfil the requirements for SA arising from the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and the requirements for Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) arising from the SEA Directive. The purpose of SA is to promote sustainable development through better integration of sustainability (economic, social and environmental) considerations in the preparation and adoption of plans. The SEA Directive requires that certain plans and programmes undergo an environmental assessment, due to the likelihood that they will have significant environmental effects once implemented. This Sustainability Appraisal Report (SA Report) accompanies the Core Strategy Submission Document. It builds on the earlier SA work undertaken by the Council for the SA Scoping Report, the initial SA of the Core Strategy Issues and Options document (March 2008) and the SA Report of the Core Strategy Preferred Options and Strategic
