KBR37: NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
Development should maintain and enhance the natural environment and its intrinsic ecological value. In particular, development is encouraged where it:
- identifies the local biodiversity and seeks to protect or enhance it through the creation of new wildlife areas or corridors;
- incorporates features such as nesting boxes and beehives alongside soil and planting that is likely to attract wildlife;
- plants additional trees and flora locally subject to compliance with Policy KBR38 (Trees);
- provides new, multi-functional green space locally including appropriately managed, unconventional green space such as green walls and green roofs (meeting the requirements of Policy KBR10 – Urban greening), city farms and greening of incidental existing spaces within the public realm; and/or
- incorporates planting which will be resilient to a range of climate conditions.
