I would like to see the addition of an additional clause in this policy in favour of biodiversity and
habitat creation as an after use. So contributing to the aspirations set out elsewhere in this plan and
the Government’s State of Nature Report https://deframedia.blog.gov.uk/2023/09/28/the-state-ofnature-report-highlights-the-importance-of-supporting-biodiversity-in-the-uk/

The Local Plan addresses the restoration of temporary minerals development (which includes borrow pits) in Policy MIN9 - Restoration and aftercare. The policy supports after-uses including biodiversity and nature conservation. Restoration should provide a net-gain in biodiversity of at least 10% and where appropriate, should contribute towards the creation and management of BAP priority habitats.
