The consultation document does not seem to provide a map to identify the area defined by this allocation, so it is difficult for SWT to give specific feedback on impacts to biodiversity.
We are encouraged to see the policy requirements acknowledge under bullet point 5, the need to avoid impacts on biodiversity, and the potential for the area to deliver gains for biodiversity.
Given the urban nature of the allocation, we would also like to see the policy make reference to the importance of delivering strategic Green Infrastructure across this large area for allocation, as per section 175 of the NPPF 2021.
See attached representation.
