Policy wording should be amended and the caveat "where appropriate" removed, as follows:

b. protect and enhance the adjoining Local Wildlife Site
(Codham Hall Wood) to deliver a measurable net gain in biodiversity;

Policy wording lacks a commitment to deliver biodiversity net gain.

Policy wording is ambiguous and includes an unnecessary caveat; this creates a potential loophole that could allow developers to forego enhancements.
