Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8590

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Warwickshire Wildlife Trust

Representation Summary:

Pow Grove LWS and ancient woodland has been identified within the concept plans; however it is unclear what size the semi-natural buffer is that has been left between the woodland and developable areas. The Ecological Assessment has recommended that this buffer is a minimum of 30m to protect the woodland from harm.
We recommend that the concept plans are updated to be clear that the size of the buffer is 30m between the woodland and the development.
