Councillor Evans thanked the Planning Policy Officer for her work in putting the report together. He said this had emerged from a Stebbing Neighbourhood Plan exercise, during which he had learned that 75 species of birds resided in the parish, with 30 species falling into a vulnerable category. The Strategy had come to fruition due to the collaboration of all twelve authorities in Essex.
