24. Policy WAT 20 – Sites of value to biodiversity
• The policy specifically asks applicants to retain and enhance the biodiversity value of the network of deciduous woodland species and habitats in the parish. It is unclear why these have been highlighted What evidence has been provided to justify this within the policy?

• Map 6.13 does not appear to show any County Wildlife Sites although a symbol in the key. Our ecology team has indicated that within the parish there are a number of County Wildlife Sites and these should referenced clearly in the Plan and shown on this map - River Cam CWS (east), Clayhithe Pollard Willows CWS (south-east) and Beach Ditch and Engine Drain CWS (north-west)
