I support this approach in principle, however I also was not able to see in sufficient detail the Natural Capital assessment as I don’t have access to GIS . I really hope that those management and development guidelines in the Landscape Character assessment are considered within the natural capital network as the maps of opportunities seem rather sparse in the 5E Eastern Clay Vale area. The fields below the ridge are plentiful in small springs / ponds / watercourses that may not have shown in general habitat assessments but are oases of biodiversity which could be valuably enhanced.
