The introduction to Draft Policy Direction 38 correctly acknowledges that the Environment Act permits Local Planning Authorities to aim for a biodiversity net gain of more than 10%, as long as there is a justified local need.
At present, the SWLP does not adequately address these issues, leading to a lack of justification for any requirement of biodiversity net gain that exceeds 10%.
6 As a result, The Bevan Family does not support the principle of this policy and emphasises that further justification is required for the implementation of this draft policy prior to the formal adoption of the SWLP.
