Received: 14/12/2016
Respondent: Natural England
We also welcome the aspiration in point 1.e. of the Policy to link open space within a Southend 'green grid' (see CS1) and we support point 1.f to satisfy the need to make visitors and residents aware of the significance of the SSSIs through interpretation at a high-quality visitor facility.
Thank you for your consultation on the above which was received by Natural England on 03 November 2016.
Natural England is a non-departmental public body. Our statutory purpose is to ensure that the natural environment is conserved, enhanced, and managed for the benefit of present and future generations, thereby contributing to sustainable development.
