There is no point in having a policy to protect sites if your planning enforcement team are not able to hold developers to account for failing to meet agreed mitigation / planning conditions.

Given the Ecological Emergency, the Local Plan should require very large-scale conversion of farmland for Rewilding. Existing farmland can be made more efficient for food production by switching to arable and using greenhouses. This is critical.

This policy is not strong enough in its protection of our distinctive habitats and wildlife. It is very disappointing to see the ditching of the Wildbelt land - it is not clear how the LNRS will safeguard sites in recovery. Many of the developments outlined in this plan are sited on Local Wildlife Sites (LWS) or potential LWS or near to SSSIs. The plan needs to, and has the opportunity, to be on the side of nature - for the benefit of all.

The reports do not identify sites well. Thought should be given to previous Agricultural incentives which are long term habitats such as field margins. The BW site would remove the Sky Lark habitat created with public money via incentives on the south of the site. As described on the land owners website. Sky Larks have Red conservation Status in the UK, the reports miss this example and as such I expect these habitats have been over looked.

The policy doesn't provide detail on how important environmental assets will be protected and enhanced, a large number of the allocations are next to and covering designated Local Wildlife Sites and potential Local Wildlife Sites, these should be adequately assessed to ascertain their current County Value. Additionally some of these important sites will need protection from proposed development with buffer zones.

Yes Protection of sites is so important. Although we do have some great green areas, Wildlife trust land and National Trust, etc we need to protect these areas and add more. All new developments and redevelopment needs green spaces and Wildlife corridors included. Space for Nature, swift boxes, holes in fences for hedgehogs.

to safeguard our environment we need to protect our areas of nature.
Climate change and development is already damaging wildlife, and habitats and the whole ecosystem. If our eco-system is damaged our own populations health and welfare is damaged.
The UK , and especially west midlands is already nature-depleted, and so areas must be protected.
All mature trees and hedgerows and grasslands must be protected as will take decades to be grown from new plantings.
New plantings (as mitigation) usually fail as are not watered in dry weather. SO must protect what we already have.

“The Policy will cover … Local Wildlife Sites, including potential, and in certain instances rejected ones.”

The subsequent policies need to maintain a distinction between adopted and rejected sites (depending on the reason for rejection) to ensure a distinction is maintained between the two in the hierarchy. Without this, the importance of adopted sites would be diminished if both allocated and unallocated sites were treated as carrying the same weight.

“… Sites not yet subject to formal designation but known to make a positive contribution to biodiversity and/or geodiversity”

Policy needs to be very clear about what making a contribution would look like in the absence of a formal allocation – lack of definition could make it difficult to establish what weight to give this aspect when decisions are made at application stage.

Ymatebydd: Cotswolds National Landscape Board

Overall, the Cotswolds National Landscape (CNL) Board agrees with the approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction 36.
However, with regards to irreplaceable habitats, the Board recommends that the following habitats should be explicitly classed as irreplaceable habitat, in line with Policy CE8 (Nature recovery and biodiversity) of the CNL Management Plan:70
i.
ancient and veteran trees;
ii.
ancient woodland (continually wooded since 1600);
iii.
ancient unimproved grassland (surviving since 1945);
iv.
ancient hedgerows (present since before the Enclosure Acts, passed mainly between 1720 and 1840).
We acknowledge that (iii) and (iv) are not included in the list of irreplaceable habitats in the Biodiversity Gain Requirements (Irreplaceable Habitat) Regulations 2024.71 However, the list in the Regulations is not definitive and discussions with Defra are ongoing, at a national level, to try and secure the inclusion of these habitats within the Regulations. In the meantime, we consider that it would be good practice to align with Policy CE8 of the CNL Management Plan.
