25 Year Environment Plan

We welcome the inclusion of DEFRA’s 25 Year Environment Plan in Appendix-A (A17). The Local Plan policies should consider the emerging challenges and the key goals identified in the Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan, including the need to improve air quality and tackle the climate emergency through sustainable development, applying the biodiversity net gain principle and the use of nature based solutions.
