Biodiversity

Development proposals should protect biodiversity and provide for the maintenance, enhancement, restoration and, if possible, expansion of biodiversity, by aiming to restore or create suitable semi-natural habitats and ecological networks to sustain wildlife in accordance with the aims of the Surrey Biodiversity Action Plan.

The Council will seek to enhance biodiversity by supporting the work of the Downlands Countryside Management Project and by supporting Local Nature Reserves and Community Wildlife Areas.
