We also recommend the inclusion of additional wording / wording changes (underlined) to bullet point e in order to strengthen the policy – so that it reads: “ensures that wherever possible development enables the enhancement of the built and natural environment and avoids, minimises and, where necessary, mitigates for the adverse environmental impacts of growth, in particular with regards to climate change, air quality, biodiversity and habitats”.

This wording change proposal is to ensure that the high level strategic policy is well aligned with thematic polices references later within the local plan (e.g. Policy EN2).
