We welcome the references in paragraph 1 to '....creating high quality safe environments with low levels of waste and pollution and make a meaningful contribution to addressing the causes and potential impacts of climate change' we suggest adding 'flood risk, biodiversity, landscape and air quality' to the end of this sentence.
We welcome the references in paragraph 9 to 'linked wildlife-rich nature reserves and areas', recognizing the fact that biodiversity is not limited to protected sites and requires policies that protect and enhance connections between sites to enable movement and colonization of new areas. We would prefer to see the words: Warwick District will be renowned for having a 'strategically planned and interconnected network of green infrastructure' inserted into this paragraph to recognize the fact that green infrastructure should a primary consideration in spatial planning.
