Ibelieve it is important to map the soil (which forms part of the natural capital)
and therefore the agricultural land grades much more closely as this is a key part of the National
Planning Policy Framework. The agricultural land classification map published by Natural England is
not sufficiently detailed. High quality agricultural land should not be used for development and
therefore more detailed information is needed before decisions about site allocations are made.
