Representation Summary:
It is encouraging to see the emphasis on protecting green belt land and the promotion of green infrastructure in the Local Plan. We recommend that more detail is included in the Local Plan with regards to the rivers within the borough, their ecological status and potential opportunities for improving these through drivers such as the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and Eel Regulations. Any development proposals need to be compliant with the WFD in ensuring no deterioration and where possible seek enhancements.
