Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 8571
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Warwickshire Wildlife Trust
The Ecology Assessment (Jan 2017) identified significant ecological features; marshy grassland and pond. In addition there is a known population of Great Crested Newts near to the site; they are a protected species and will need mitigation.
Currently neither concept plan retains all the ecological features recommended within the Ecology Assessment (2017); we therefore recommend that the SMBC Concept Plan is amended to show the semi-improved grassland to the centre, south of the site as being retained as natural open-space.
