g. provision for new multi-functional green infrastructure including public
open space;

The above statement should be amended to include a commitment to deliver a measurable net gain in biodiversity.

i. protect and where appropriate enhance the Local Wildlife Site (Arnold's
Wood).

The caveat "where appropriate" in the above statement should be deleted. It is unnecessary and potentially creates ambiguity which could provide a loophole for developers to do nothing. There should be a clear policy commitment to ensure no net loss in habitat quality of the local wildlife site and preferably a measurable net gain.
