Policy ENV1 – Nature Conservation

We welcome this policy, however that the following site allocations are likely to impact upon the effectiveness of policy ENV1 (1b,1c,1d, 3):

• WAH234 Land between Queslett Road, Doe Bank Lane and Aldridge Road, Pheasey
WAH246 Land to the east of Chester Road, north of Pacific Nurseries Hardwick
Impacts on Sutton Park SSSI/ NNR, ecological connectivity, priority habitats- lowland heathland.

Please see 13 Sub-Areas and Site Allocations for further details of our concerns.

We would advise that the Plan should identify land where development would be inappropriate, for instance because of its environmental significance.

Natural England welcome the creation and designation of new Local Nature Reserves as additional assets to the Local Nature Reserve suite currently in place, especially were they offer additional access to local people for recreation and education.
