Paragraph 5.16-5.18 - The wording of criteria 1c seeks to apply a blanket level of protection to SLINCs that might be impacted on by new development, similar to that applied to protected sites. The criteria does not allow for circumstances where it might be acceptable, in planning terms, for development to have some impact on biodiversity where suitable mitigation measures can be taken to reduce or ameliorate that impact.
