Planning Application Details - DC/19/4130/FUL
5Clearance of some of an overgrown area to create a multi-functional amenity space for the local community with: a) area of long meadow grass with wild flowers and small fruiting trees, b) woodland area with trees, woodland planting, c) mown games area, d) an existing area of scrub land to maintain the ecological diversity. We aim to improve the natural habitat, and to encourage wildlife with more mixed native hedging and trees whilst creating a secure space for children with timber post and rail fencing of the stream and ditch. We have made provision for rubbish and recycling bins. We intend to site notice boards describing the wildlife that lives in the area so as to provide further interest for visitors. We have consulted with the Suffolk Wildlife trust for a wildlife appraisal (enclosed) and will continue to do so as the project progresses, in particular to ask for mitigation measures in developing the site so as to achieve a net gain in biodiversity. Some of this net gain will be through adding other plant species whilst retaining some of the existing scrub as well as the installation of bat boxes, small bird nesting boxes and bug boxes.
