HMWT support this policy but suggest the wording be changed slightly to enable biodiversity value as assessed by the biodiversity calculator to be taken into consideration in achieving no net loss or net gains to biodiversity i.e. to conserve and enhance biodiversity in the terms of NPPF. Suggested change:
'Development proposals on non-designated sites that include habitats and species OF ECOLOGICAL VALUE will be expected to meet parts (b) to (d) of this policy.'
