R14 Local Nature Reserves

Planning permission will not be granted for any development likely to have an adverse effect on local nature reserves unless it can be clearly demonstrated that there are reasons for the proposal which outweigh the need to safeguard the substantive nature conservation value of the site.

Where development is permitted which would damage the nature conservation value of the site such damage should be kept to a minimum. Where appropriate the Council will consider the use of conditions and/or planning obligations to provide appropriate compensatory measures.
