Respondent: Mr Tom Tagg

Representation Summary:

BBC must honour the NPPF requirements and their own policies to protect and enhance the natural environment and the unique natural capital in the borough.
With a growing population and the fact that only approx. 35% of the area of the UK is farmland for food production, BBC should actively protect and retain the farmland in the borough.
DEVELOPMENT SHOULD OCCUR ON BROWNFIELD SITES BEFORE GREENFIELD.
BBC should actively and rapidly move to embedding Environmental Gain (= Biodiversity Gain + Natural Capital) into all their thinking and planning.
