Support this new paragraph as suggested by BBC Wildlife Trust at the examination hearing and specifically in relation to rattlechain site as was identified already by local experts surveys, photographs and observations including established pre 2016 small blue butterfly colony, kidney vetch, tower mustard, Narrow-leaved Everlasting-pea. NB since the examination hearing, these flora are now classified on the New GB Red List for vascular plants November 2025. The council must retain a list of sites identified as PSI's and considered as a constraint to development where prima facie evidence of designation is supported.
