Representation Summary:

This location does not appear to be defined in the policies map. However, we highlight that the area is adjacent to a Strategic Wildlife Corridor, to the east of the airfield, and as such any proposals coming forward in that area should seek to ensure that they support the function of the Strategic Wildlife Corridor.

Change suggested by respondent:

Propose additional policy requirement to A16/17:

• Ensure that development avoids harm to protected species and existing important habitat features; facilitates the achievement of a minimum of 10% biodiversity net gain; and facilitates the creation of high levels of habitat connectivity within the site and to the wider green infrastructure network and identified strategic wildlife corridors. This includes the provision of appropriate buffers as necessary in relation to important habitats which are being retained and/or created.
