"Development will also be expected to make a positive contribution to the ecological network, providing biodiversity net gain on site, and where this is not achievable locally off-site." I do not know what "locally" means? It would be a concern if BNG for one site is located elsewhere in the District. Suggest you focus BNG on the Wildlife Corridors, the AONB, SSSIs, LNRs, NNRs, SACs, SPAs, Medmerry, etc. - the natural environment sites that need the help most.
