The policy as worded is broadly appropriate and should continue to allow for development and enhancement in any future draft of the policy.

The site south of Shipley Golf Course / Hazel Beck is allocated in part within the current Development Plan as a Local Wildlife Site and within the emerging Local Plan as Countryside and a Local Wildlife Site. With this in mind an Ecological Constraints Assessment has been undertaken for the site and adjacent land under the same ownership. The Ecological Assessment is included at Appendix D.

The survey identifies an area south of the site which could be used as an area for ecological improvement,
to offset any loss of habitat within the Local Wildlife Site.
