Section 4.4 - expected to see a reference to ecological networks and green infrastructure influencing decisions. Little evidence relating to the need to 'identify, map and safeguard components of local wildlife-rich habitats and wider ecological networks'. Expect CDC to incorporate more thorough evidence base.
