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

Representation ID: 8225

Received: 26/09/2021

Respondent: The Forest of Marston Vale Trust

Representation Summary:

• Policy NE1 – Environmental Net Gain: We strongly support the proposed inclusion of this new policy as it marks a significant and positive step forward, aligning the BBC Local Plan with the adoption of a Natural Capital approach, as advocated in the Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan. Its inclusion will help confirm the Council’s status as a leading authority in this policy area.
I’d be happy to discuss any of the comments above in more detail, if that would be helpful.
