The Council will protect the biodiversity in, and adjacent to, the borough’s Sites of Nature Conservation Importance and require opportunities to be taken to enhance and attract biodiversity.
To deliver this the Council will:
- protect Sites of Nature Conservation Importance and/or require the provision of significantly improved habitats to attract biodiversity in accordance with the national, regional and local policy and biodiversity targets and ecosystem targets Plans;
- protect the biodiversity value of Green Corridors and the Blue Ribbon Network and require that development proposals create opportunities to extend or link Green Corridors and the Blue Ribbon Network;
- require a site specific Ecological Impact Assessment for all major developments in or adjacent to Sites of Nature Conservation Importance, Green Corridors, open space, and the Blue Ribbon Network and their features important for biodiversity;
- require development proposals to create opportunities, where possible, for attracting biodiversity and habitat creation, having regard to the national, regional and local biodiversity and ecosystem targets.
