Representation ID: 20453
Received: 29/01/2009
Respondent: Natural England
Representation Summary:
Natural England expects this assessment to provide weight to recommendations to mitigate against losses due to development by providing for opportunities for biodiversity enhancement throughout the draft Strategy, to restrict planned growth to allocated sites, commit to not encroaching on strategic open spaces, and to monitor and set ambitious targets for air pollution and water consumption associated with new development (including transportation infrastructure).
