Respondent: Environment Agency
Representation Summary:
We advise that this policy would benefit from the inclusion of the text set out in italics below:
"c. Areas where development should not take place (eg. undeveloped Green Belt, land valuable for food production or at risk of flooding or of high landscape value, or nature conservation areas)."
We consider this to be beneficial to emphasise the importance of minimising impacts on biodiversity as set out in paragraph 109 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
