Draft Bradford District Local Plan - Preferred Options (Regulation 18) February 2021

Representation ID: 19919

Received: 01/04/2021

Respondent: Natural England

Representation Summary:

Natural England notes that allocation BI/026 / BI5/H lies in very close proximity to Bingley South Bog Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

We welcome the reference in the plan to a site requirement for an ecological assessment to identify impacts on the SSSI but recommend that the allocation requirements should be clear that permission will only be given if impacts on the SSSI can be avoided or adequately mitigated for.
