Wallington Neighbourhood Plan 2022 - 2031 Submission Version June 2023
POLICY W8: GREEN AND BLUE INFRASTRUCTURE LANDSCAPE FEATURES AND BIODIVERSITY
Representation ID: 10335
Received: 18/07/2023
Respondent: Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust
The policy is really good and HMWT are very pleased to see it. It could be improved by adding another element to ensure wildlife that requires opportunities in the urban environment for breeding are also accommodated. Several other Neighbourhood and Local Plans have included this simple but very effective policy. Suggested policy is:
'All suitable new buildings must include a minimum of 1 integrated swift box, 1 integrated bat box and hedgehog highways incorporated into gardens.'
