Representation ID: 23182
Received: 19/02/2017
Respondent: Rother Environmental Group
CAT1 - Land to the rear of the White Hart, Catsfield
The aerial photo indicates that the site has the potential for reptiles, bats, great crested newts or birds due to the presence of scrub and rough grassland. Under the biodiversity and green space policy all developments will be expected to retain and enhance biodiversity but the developed area indicated does not leave much space to accommodate the biodiversity on site. It is suggested that the policy be amended to highlight this potential and that any plans submitted should incorporate a biodiversity strategy.
