Representation Summary:

In response to Q2

CPRE Kent welcomes policies which prioritise the natural environment and its biodiversity. As such we support the Council going beyond 10% BNG.

As set out in paragraph 4.3.7 of the Plan, a KCC commissioned study (Viability Assessment of BNG in Kent, 2022) found that an uplift from 10% to 15 or 20% would not materially affect viability.
