It is good to see good quality agricultural land as being one of the areas for active protection. It hasn't been upheld with Growth Triangle Planning. Clause 183 actually asks for development to result in biodiversity net gain, but it's not a Policy Requirement and should be. Delete the phrase "wherever possible" As for "SANGS", that is a disgraceful option to have in place. So far environmental considerations have singularly failed to carry equal weight to economics or vanity projects like the Western Link Road (not yet consented or applied for) which is an environmental catastrophe in the making.
