Strategic Objective 11 (BNG)
Not one of the new build private sector residential developments delivered within the district over the last 10 years has incorporated a single bat brick or swift nest box brick within external facing brickwork. If the Council cannot even deliver one single bat brick within private sector new build residential schemes over the last 10 years, we have no confidence that the Council has any interest in delivering meaningful BNG within the district going forward. This incompetent planning policy approach cannot be allowed to continue within the district.
By incorporating sufficient new habitat creation measures within new housing development proposals. We are disappointed that the Council’s Planning Policy and Development Management Teams continue to promote poor quality forms of new housing developments across the district, which fail to effectively respond to BNG focused guidance as set out in paragraphs 8 (indent c), 120 (indent a), 174 (indent d), 179 (indent b) and 180 (indent d) of the Revised NPPF (2021).
