It is illogical for policy HERC2 not to use the same qualification of the Biodiversity Impact Calculator as in policy HERC1.

Recent research by the Royal Horticultural Society has shown that mixes are more valuable than single species. Accordingly, policy HERC10 should be amended to read "an appropriate mix of native species".

There is some overlap between this policy and policies EH9, EH10 and EH11. Collectively, it is considered that these policies do not add any further requirement to the measures already addressed by policies in the Local Plan. It is also worth noting that the policies in the Local Plan were subject to scrutiny through the Local Plan Examination and may still be subject to modifications.

Some concern that some of the policy wording is confusing and repetitive.

There is one policy for Wildlife Sites (Policy EH10) and another for Biodiversity (Policy EH11).
