Draft policy Direction 40 has the potential to add additional development costs that must be factored into a Viability Assessment produced with the pre-submission draft SWLP. In order for this policy to be included in the Plan, the Council must have an understanding of the impact of this.

Recent large scale development that we have recently seen in Stratford shows that developers ride roughshod over such requirements and preserving/protecting, let alone enhancing, the environmental landscape is not adhered too (and has seemingly not been enforced). Feels a little like lip service/box ticking but won't happen in reality, from recent developments we have seen.

No. Draft Policy Direction 40 has the potential to add additional development costs that must be factored into a viability assessment produced with the Pre-Submission SWLP. In order for this Policy to be included in the SWLP the Councils must have an understanding of the impact of this Policy on scheme density, the net to gross development ratio of schemes, and the overall scheme costs.

Why not demand that all new developments prohibit the use of plastic grass, as this is misleading to wildlife at best and has no benefit to nature, or biodiversity, or carbon capture.
Ditto slabbing over front gardens to create parking spaces.

Site BW is entirely on agricultural land within the Green Belt and planting a few trees on the site would in no way act as a substitute for mature broad leaf trees and hedges. Other sites which are not completely within the Green Belt would be far more appropriate eg E1, F1, F2, F3 and G1

In addition to following this policy for new developments, this should also apply where housing development has already taken place and GBI could be enhanced to re-balance the community with green space, habitats, parks or gardens. This could form part of a neighbourhood plan.

If a large settlement is developed entirely on productive agricultural land containing hedges and trees and is entirely in the Green Belt, putting a few trees within the development cannot be considered in any way compensation or improvement of GBI. Proposed site BW is an excellent example of this and within the parameters of this Policy, cannot be considered suitable. Other proposed sites such as E1, F1, F2, F3, G1 would be far more appropriate.

Supporting the existing biodiversity, safeguarding and supporting areas of
higher biodiversity already in existence is crucial. Research shows that developers aren’t implementing the ecological and biodiversity

No mention of gardens as part of greening factor. These are often very small in new developments as there seems to be a preference to the communal green spaces but I think there should be some value in gardens & the extra level of diversity these can achieve.

It is unclear how this will deliver wider connecting corridors which are more substantial than the proposed small scale on-site improvements which much of the time aren't delivered by developers. The councils needs to update their Green/Blue Infrastructure evidence base, in line with the NPPF and in time to influence chosen housing sites in the Local Plan.

Catesby Estates support the approach in Draft Policy Direction 40. The Vision Document and Concept Masterplan for Land South of Allimore Lane propose to enhance Spittle Brook with a green and blue infrastructure corridor, including large wet grassland areas and wildlife ponds to improve biodiversity. Sustainable drainage systems will also be integral, managing surface water while creating habitats. The proposals will offer landscape benefits like new public open space, play facilities, recreational routes, and a community orchard, demonstrating that green and blue infrastructure can be effectively integrated into development.
