WOH186 East of Qualcast Road
WTBBC have concluded that the Site Assessment process should not have selected site:
• Site has been identified as Potential Site of Importance (for nature conservation).
• The site comprises a substantial area of semi-natural habitat.
• A Local (wildlife) Site Assessment is required to provide evidence to inform the BCP Site Assessment process. This has not been undertaken.
• WTBBC are of the view that the area should be retained and invested in to provide high-quality accessible natural greenspace for nearby developments. The creation of public open space provides the opportunity to invest biodiversity net gain payments from nearby developments.
