Criteria 18 refers to local nature reserves, local wildlife sites or geological sites.
Policy text associated with these designations all refer to the policy implications where development has an adverse impact upon such designations.
Policy is silent on the approach to be taken where a proposal has a positive impact on such designations and how this is to be addressed in any planning
balance.
E.g. Securing appropriate management of otherwise neglected or unsympathetically managed local wildlife sites.
Therefore policy unbalanced, and not accurate representation of development management process.
Amend (18) to make clear that development that secures the nhancement of locally designated sites within the Arden Landscape should be supported.
The Inspector may consider that this approach can also be applied to other designations caught by Policy P10, for example Sites of Special Scientific Interest and
Ancient Woodland.
