The RSPB was very pleased to see that the Biodiversity Net Gain provision in the submission draft of the NE Cambridge Action Plan has been increased to 20% in line with Greater Cambridge’s ambitions under the OxCamArc Environment Principles. Although the new biodiversity policy BG/BG will set out a 20% target, it would be worth cross referencing this requirement in any supporting text. In addition, although this is dealt with in more detail in the action plan, we believe that there should also be headline targets or objectives within the allocation policy related to water demand, green infrastructure and sustainable urban drainage, or appropriate references to requirements set out in the associated climate change and great places policies.
