Sandwell Local Plan - Reg 19 Publication

Policy SNE2 – Protection and Enhancement of Wildlife Habitats

Representation ID: 1448

Received: 10/11/2024

Respondent: Mrs Peta Sams

Representation Summary:

Please amend para 11 from "All major development proposals" to "All developments including extensions". The policy is good but could be excellent by removing the restriction of "major". NPPG 2019 Natural Environment para 023 shows the value of swift bricks to developments in general, not specifically to 'major' developments which is of course open to interpretation. As swift bricks are not part of BNG there is a need for a clear policy for all developments.
