Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

The policy supporting this allocation makes clear under bullet point 6 the need to protect and provide net gains for biodiversity, as per paragraph 174 (d) of the NPPF. We seek clarity from CDC as to why many of the allocation policies say required net gain and do not specify that it must be a minimum of 10% BNG? For urbanised locations such as this allocation, there could be opportunities to deliver significantly more than 10% BNG.

Change suggested by respondent:

We again reiterate the point made under Policy A3 about maximising the opportunities to deliver for Green Infrastructure and BNG with adjoining allocation A5.
