Respondent: Natural England
Natural England welcomes and acknowledges the links and references to Neighbourhood Plans, and would refer to our previous comments to Policy S1 [Under Sustainable Development the Council may wish to consider reference to green infrastructure provision, helping to alleviate fragmentation and link existing green and open spaces. Biodiversity and the natural environment can lead to various opportunities, not just for wildlife activity and connection, but also health, recreation, contributing to climate change adaptation and improving quality of life. Pleased to see this recognition and encourages the Council to promote green infrastructure in new developments to help deliver multiple functions].
