Whilst Natural England generally welcome this objective we would like to see the Nature Recovery Network specifically mentioned. The following additional wording is suggested:
“Seek initiative-taking and creative solutions to securing endangered assets in perpetuity and improving landscape connectivity for people and wildlife and contribute to the establishment of the nature recovery network.”

The development will destroy habitats including hedges and trees. It will not contribute culturally or increase biodiversity or geodiversity.

Don't 'concrete-over' a huge wholly rural area outside any parish PLD.
Protect those multifunctional blue and green infrastructure areas.
Biodiversity - Don't pretend that biodiversity losses can be offset - that is pure bollocks.
From a human perspective - If I told you I was moving your garden to Lincolnshire - you'd be a bit upset. And you'd and you'd say. "But you're moving my garden to an area that's already a garden".
From a biodiversity perspective. Every ecosystem is unique. If you destroy one micro-system, it can't be 'offset', 'recreated'. It's gone.
Maybe try not to do it again.

Respondent: Edith Weston Parish Council

Recent policies propose intensive re-development of the St George’s Barracks site and greenfield development in the Edith Weston parish.

Whilst this represents a reduction from previous proposals, these proposals are at odds with the vision, particularly with respect to climate change, rural character and natural environment and infrastructure.

Similarly, they would be contrary to strategic objectives SO1, SO2, SO3, SO4, SO5, SO8, SO9, and SO10.

8 Protect and Enhance the Built and Natural Environment

The proposed development at Quarry Farm is contradictory to this strategy. This strategy already exists in the current plan; however, it would appear that this strategy has less priority than the housing need.

What is the point of having Local Wildlife Sites if we allow them to be developed??
If RCC is to be considered a seriously in this respect, there should be no exceptions unless required through National Strategic Infrastructure Project.
