No. It is unclear how this will deliver wider connecting corridors which are more substantial than the proposed small scale on-site improvements. The councils should update their Green/Blue Infrastructure evidence base, in line with the NPPF and in time to influence chosen housing sites in the Local Plan.

Why is there no reference to grey water systems? every new development should incorporate grey water systems to reduce the use of drinking water for such things as washing cars, watering gardens and flushing toilets.
Green space needs to be available for wildlife corridors to create connectivity between the diminishing populations of our wildlife. This draft policy seems to imply that green space is mostly about what it delivers for humans. What about the needs of our depleted natural environment?

Safeguarding and supporting areas of high biodiversity that already exist is essential - I have read research (wildlifejustice.org- lost nature report) which shows that developers do not implement the ecological and biodiversity enhancements that they claim to.
We have to protect our green spaces.

Where developments require the loss of more mature trees/hedgerows, the mitigation is often of a poor level. Trees planted often die and are not replaced, etc., as observed in Radford Semele. the mitigation does not work. How can the management of replacement trees be enforced within the framework?

I strongly agree on the need to properly manage the ecological environment. This should include habitats for wildlife, enhancing health and wellbeing outcomes in an area by providing space for recreation, and building resilience to a changing climate including flood control and preventing urban heat islands.

There is little evidence to show that developers keep promises to enhance landscapes after development. The only way we can ensure sustainable levels of biodiversity is to protect what we currently have.

We agree with all these policy directions but they tend to be the last things that developers do and are either not done well or not at all so implementation needs to be monitored and the planning authority must ensure compliance. Planning approval should include penalties if developers do not do what they say they are going to do.

I do not agree with this policy because protecting and enhancing existing biodiversity is far more effective than relying on promised enhancements that often go unfulfilled. Safeguarding areas with high biodiversity is crucial to maintaining ecological balance. Research shows that developers frequently fail to implement the biodiversity improvements they claim, with over 50% of “net-gain” commitments existing only on paper. This is a systemic issue and a regulatory failure. Instead of allowing further environmental harm, we must prioritize real conservation efforts. Source: Wild Justice Report

Priority and thought should also be given to protecting areas of existing biodiversity. Developers often don’t fulfill the requirements so areas of important local nature and their surrounding wildlife corridors should be protected.

Plan states ‘Biodiversity Net Gain’ will be tool to deliver biodiversity ambition /increased diversity of plant and animal life;there is nothing ambitious about current target of 10% net gain. This should be 20%. Other Councils have higher targets. I disagree with removal of Wildbelt Policy. Previous consultations state 80% of respondents supported Wildbelt Policy to designate land for nature recovery. LNRS are different from Wildbelt, latter would safeguard sites in recovery. LNRS is not a designation, and would NOT safeguard areas for nature.There is no updated Green/Blue infrastructure evidence base or detailed strategic policy looking at opportunities for wider corridors.

The manufacturing of the landscape and introduction of "green infrastructure" to replace assets that have been lost by development will result in additional maintenance costs that need to be carefully considered. Existing residents of the area should not see their council tax rise as a result of development in order to maintain those "green infrastructure" assets.

As costs escalate with newer developments, the first to suffer with cost cuts will be the developers committments to ecology and biodiversity which is always the first to go. Developers guarantees are no longer worth the paper they are written on.
