Respondent: Essex Wildlife Trust
We recommend that wording should be amended to include mention of biodiversity, as follows:
b. these measures should be protected, planned, designed and managed as
integrated features of green and blue infrastructure "to maximise biodiversity"
Nature friendly development design should include integral features such as swift bricks, sparrow terraces, bat roosts, bee hotels etc. It should also have features and green corridors to help invertebrates, reptiles, hedgehogs and other mammals; wildlife-permeable boundaries between gardens and open spaces; wildflower verges and hedgerows integrated with the development.
