Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation

Representation ID: 6926

Received: 15/09/2021

Respondent: Bromham Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Other Environmental Issues
It is considered that “Environmental Net Gain” should be specified rather than “Biodiversity
Net Gain” and that it should be set at 20% rather than the 10% in Government legislation and
should be delivered on or within 5km of the development site.
Protection for the River Great Ouse Valley should be included in policies.
The Parish Council sincerely hopes that these observations are helpful and that the Borough
Council will be prepared to focus its proposals for growth locations consistent with
endeavours to protect existing sustainable communities from the harm that excessive growth
will cause the immediate and neighbouring rural communities.
