(a) Development proposals should avoid adverse impacts on wildlife habitats and corridors. Where exceptionally justified, any arising adverse impact must be balanced by compensatory positive features within the development that are beneficial to wildlife.

(b) Development must, wherever feasible, achieve a minimum of 10% biodiversity net gain overall.

(c) Development should take opportunities to enhance wildlife habitats. Development that connects wildlife habitats and corridors will be welcomed.
