RC2: Nature Conservation

New development will be required to protect and, wherever appropriate and practicable, enhance the existing natural features of sites and enhance biodiversity.

Designated sites (SSSI’s, CWS’s and LNR’s) will be protected against development which would harm the special character and qualities of these sites. Opportunities will be sought to enhance important sites and the Biodiversity Opportunity Network, shown at Annexe B1 and improve linkages between them.

Provision of appropriate species-related measures will be required for new development, including, for example but not limited to swift bricks, bat and owl boxes and the incorporation of native plants into landscaping schemes.
