11.2 Policy ENV1 identifies a number of criteria which must be considered within development proposals in respect of nature conservation. Amongst other things, it states details of how improvements will contribute to the natural environment, and their ongoing management for the benefit of biodiversity and geodiversity will be expected to accompany planning applications. Whilst Taylor Wimpey supports the national objective for development to deliver an improvement in biodiversity, it is not clear how development could similarly contribute towards improvements in geodiversity if the sites themselves had limited geological interest. The Policy should be amended to make this more apparent.
