Comment
Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy
Representation ID: 21264
Received: 16/03/2020
Respondent: Anglian Water Services Ltd
Anglian Water is generally supportive of the principle of development proposals providing biodiversity net gain. The policy as drafted says this would apply to development wherever feasible. However the Environment Bill which is currently before parliament refers to biodiversity net gain being mandatory for all development requiring planning permission.
Policy 3 should be amended for consistency with the provisions of Environment Bill.
