Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 57246

Received: 10/12/2021

Respondent: European Property Ventures (Cambridgeshire)

Agent: Claremont Planning Consultancy

Representation Summary:

Objection is made to the requirement for development to achieve a minimum 20% biodiversity net gain as this is considered too onerous and not achievable in all cases. The Environment Bill introduces a mandatory 10% minimum biodiversity net gain and it is considered that Greater Cambridge should not seek to double this requirement on all development sites.
