Draft Local Plan
Representation ID: 15509
Received: 10/05/2016
Respondent: Environment Agency
Representation Summary:
We are supportive of the plan's vision to grow the Borough sustainably, protecting its environment and realising opportunities to enhance the quality and provision of facilities and minimising the negative impacts of development. It is important to recognise that planning can not only protect existing natural assets, but can also provide opportunities to achieve environmental gains. The vision could be strengthened by changing 'minimising negative impacts' to 'preventing negative impacts'.
