Comment: WTBBC request that the wording ‘development is not permitted where it would harm’ should be changed to ‘development will not be permitted where it would, alone or in combination with other plans or projects, have an adverse impact on’. This change would recognise the negative impact that nearby land-use or other changes can have on sites of high biodiversity value.
