'As such the Council considers offsetting to be an option of final resort. ' This must be absolutely adhered to with a target of 0% of developments using offsetting per year and a public KPI linked to this measure. The council should freely and willingly publish details of decisions where offsetting has been allowed, and publicly justify why the exemption has been permitted. WDC must hold developers to account on this and the public must be able to hold WDC to account on this 'final resort'.
