Representation ID: 44846

Received: 11/10/2021

Respondent: Ruskin Properties

Representation Summary:

The principle of the delivery of biodiversity net gain as part of developments is supported. However, concerns are raised regarding the ability of development to achieve 10% when balanced against other competing needs of the plan (affordable housing, planning obligations and densities) and the practicalities of delivering 10% in relation to residential development within urban areas. Clarity is required on what ‘measured against baseline site information’ means.
