Representation Summary:
The proposal to require the national recognised standard of net gain as a minimum rather than a higher requirement is supported. The supporting text, which states that the policy has been prepared to ensure that an appropriate balance can be achieved between meeting national biodiversity requirements, working towards the Councils’ commitments in tackling biodiversity and ecological emergencies and the challenges of exceeding this within a higher density context is endorsed. The proposed mitigation hierarchy – on-site, then adjacent to NEC and then across the city and further afield – is also logical.
