Inconsistency with National Policy (NPPF)
Chapter 4’s policies fail to meet the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), including:

Paragraphs 179–182, which require proactive and precautionary approaches to biodiversity protection and net gain.
Paragraph 186, requiring planning policies to “enhance the natural and local environment”.
Paragraphs 20 and 35, which require strategic policies to be deliverable, justified and effective.

The Plan also lacks adequate provisions for urban greening, air quality protection, and integrated green-blue infrastructure in line with government guidance.
