Section 3.1 does not show a strong enough commitment to the natural environment as required by the revised NPPF, which is much more progressive in its approach. The term supporting should be strengthened to reflect the need to protect, conserve and enhance the natural environment.

Section 3.2 includes the vision and we are pleased to see biodiversity and the wider natural environment recognised within this. Further opportunity to include net gains to Natural Capital and recognise the need for climate change resilience.
