I disagree with this policy as you have stated that the council will seek to protect, enhance, restore, increase and connect the natural environment and secure measurable net gains in biodiversity. The full value and benefits of the natural environment will be taken into account in considering all development proposals, including the contribution to the green economy, the health and wellbeing of residents, and the role of green infrastructure in reducing the impacts of climate change and improving air quality. Joint working with neighbouring authorities and partners will be supported, recognising the need for a landscape scale approach to the natural environment and conservation of biodiversity and geodiversity. How is the council doing this when green belt land is being destroyed for facilities like JLR and the proposition of moving Bickenhills Waste Disposal Facility Unit to Damsonwood. This is not going to help the local residents in regards to well being and health including mental health with the amount of noise pollution and traffic this will bring to the local area.
