We are encouraged that Box 6: Location of Development on page 35 includes criteria (c), (d) and (e) which seek to ensure biodiversity, flood risk and resource efficiency potential are considered when determining the most appropriate locations for development. This is also further supported by (g), (h), (i) and (k) of the General Development Criteria and relates well to the Environment Chapter of the Strategy.
Recommendation 2:
Include environmental constraints in criterion (g) of the Preferred Strategy for Overal Spatial Development on page 29 to ensure that this is taken in to account when considering sites for development in the smaller rural settlements.
