We suggest a more explicit reference to and alignment with the mitigation hierarchy principles and terminology: '…a local nature conservation site (Sites of Local Importance for Nature Conservation), protected or priority species, habitat, or geological feature damage must be avoided, minimised and/or mitigated/compensated in line with the UK mitigation hierarchy principles and framework.'
