Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 22193

Received: 11/10/2021

Respondent: Druids Heath Golf Club

Agent: Harris Lamb

Representation Summary:

Part 2 and 3 of the policy duplicates the provisions of the emerging Environments Bill. Once the Bill is adopted it will require 10% biodiversity net gain. Dual regulatory control is inappropriate. As such parts 2 and 3 of the policy should be removed.

Measures to achieve biodiversity net gain on site could reduce coverage and consequently the number of units. This matter needs to be carefully considered in light of the draft Plans density aspirations.
