The description of the baseline characteristics (set out in section 3.3) should include reference to the loss of SSSI area, as this is an important condition of the current state of the natural environment in the District.

The baseline characteristics (section 3.3) should also refer to the provision and quality of green space in the District. It is expected that the 'Green Network Strategy' will provide input to the District's green infrastructure evidence base.
