The NPPF published December 2024 states the importance of Local Nature recovery strategies and requires the local authorities to connect them to features of nature conservation and buffer them from development. The proposal to build thousands of houses on the county boundary with Solihull does not meet this requirement . Species and habitats do not respect administrative boundaries and therefore S Warks should take more account of the impact of its housing plans on Solihull’s nature conservation strategy. The lowland heath of Hockley Heath supports protected species and its green infrastructure helps mitigate the effects of climate change especially flooding.
