Policy ENV1 – Nature Conservation
1c
Object: WTBBC object strongly to inclusion of Sites of Local Importance for Nature Conservation in this point. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) does not distinguish between types of designated Local Wildlife Sites and there is therefore no planning justification for this approach being taken in the BCP. SLINCs should be excluded from this point and included in 1b where their protection is provided by the assertion that development is not permitted where it would harm designated nature conservation sites.
