I support much of the above. One comment though on Point C3. Replacing GS is not always possible - there needs to be high standards set i.e. you can't remove ancient habitat and replace it with a new playpark, for example. Could an assessment of the biodiversity lost be made and the new provision has to match this. I am not sure how that works technically but I am sure there are experts who can give it a go! My reason for this comment is that there have been examples of mature trees felled and replaced by saplings - that is no way comparable for nature.
