South of Knowle (Arden Triangle) for 600 dwellings is directly on a number of LWS’s and would include the loss of semi-improved grassland. Whilst the WWT is pleased to see the retention of the LWS, the site would be effectively surrounding by build development, noise, light pollution etc, which would affect species including protected species using the site, habitats and biodiversity. Whilst we are also pleased to see the inclusion of biodiversity offsetting this is just for semi improved grassland and should only be considered as a last resort, the policy requirements in 4 are also very vague and therefore would be hard to effectively enforce on a meaningful level.
