Representation Summary:

New policy NE1 relating to environmental net gain is noted – Persimmon are committed to positively embracing
opportunities for environmental and biodiversity net gains through their developments as part of their sustainable
approach to building. However the inclusion of new Policy NE1 within the plan does seem somewhat unnecessary
as the Environmental Bill includes comprehensive provisions and requirements for developments which will be
required in any event from all developments going forward including requirements for biodiversity and
environmental gains.
