Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report
Representation ID: 441
Received: 07/09/2017
Respondent: Local Nature Partnership
The Core Strategy includes robust environmental policies. We support a partial review and provide advice to make policy ENV1 more robust and where other policy changes may affect decisions pertaining to the natural environment.
We would also like to see greater reference to the Birmingham and Black Country Nature Improvement Area (NIA) and Local Nature Partnership (LNP). Support for NIA is required in National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) paragraphs 117 and 157. The Town and Country Planning Regulations (Local Planning) 2012 as amended requires co-operation with Local Nature Partnerships for planning sustainable development in cross-boundary strategies.
