Respondent: Rother Environmental Group
NOR1 - Land to the south of Northiam Church of England Primary School
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.
