Representation Summary:

Section 2.3, sets out that “Development will respond positively to the environmental context and realise opportunities to boost biodiversity and resilience”. The HHH41 site is a brownfield site which has limited biodiversity value. The opportunity to redevelop the site will enable the provision of biodiversity enhancements and the creation of a green infrastructure which will connect the site to adjoining sites and the wider countryside. On this basis, the redevelopment of the site for residential uses would enhance biodiversity in accordance with National policy aspirations and the draft proposals in the Local Plan.
