This sounds very good - but it appears to be undermined in practice.
For example, Bolton Road, from the junction with Shipley Airedale Road to Peel Park, had been a green corridor, with bats, owls, pheasant, jays, a pair of kestrels an even a grouse once evident. Most of these have disppeared since the loss of the meadow on the north-west side of Bolton Road in 2012. Now there is a "for sale" sign on the vegetated verge of the road.
It would be useful to add to this policy a reqirement fo an annual audit of biodiversity in the Bradford district, ward by ward, so that every can see which species are becoming extinct locally owng to planning decisions.
