Representation Summary:

6. Environment, Biodiversity and green space
Policy DEN4: Biodiversity and Green Space (Page 85)

We are satisfied that our previous comments have largely been acknowledged and amended within the current version of the plan. However, in amending Policy DEN 4 reference to protected species has been lost. Including protected species in the list of biodiversity features in DEN 4 (ii) would secure the requirements made in paragraph 6.43. We would recommend reference to protected species is reintroduced to this policy?
