Warwickshire Wildlife Trust supports the work that has been into the plan up until this stage but has a number of remaining concerns.
Overall WWT support the identification of LWS’s on the proposals map, however are extremely concerned about number of site allocations which are designated Local Wildlife Sites, near to ancient woodland and in the green belt. It is considered that these site allocations are not in line with the test of soundness. Reference is made to Sites BC1, BL1, BVP, BBP, KN1, KN2, SO1, UK2.
Concerned whether the SA, particularly environmental issues, has fully informed site selection and allocation, in particular Sites BC3 and HA1.
Modifications proposed for Policy P10.
Submission refers to Para. 174 of the NPPF, Section 40 of the NERC Act and Defra's 25-year Environment Plan.
