Policy information sourced from Horton and Wraysbury Neighbourhood Plan
NP/OE2 – ECOLOGY
Development proposals that conserve and enhance biodiversity and comply with other relevant policies will be supported.
Development proposals should give particular regard to ecological networks and should:
- Retain, protect and enhance features of biodiversity interest and ensure appropriate management of those features
- Ensure that any adverse impacts (either alone or in combination) are avoided or if unavoidable minimised through mitigation with any residual impacts being compensated for (having regard to the hierarchy of designation).
Development proposals that would have an unacceptable adverse impact on the ecological or biodiversity resources in the neighbourhood area, and which cannot be appropriately avoided or mitigated, will not be supported.
