Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 572

Received: 29/01/2019

Respondent: Mrs Stephanie Carn

Representation Summary:

The aim is good, but needs backing up with much more robust legislation. These corridors should be protected from development in perpetuity.
There should be a statutory duty to protect these corridors from development, and to increase their number and scope as more and more infrastructure is built in the area. The pressure on wildlife is increasing all the time.

Any area designated as a wildlife corridor should never be considered for development for housing, roads etc.
