Issues noted in paras 3.7, 3.8, 3.11 and 3.12, most notably about the grossly out of date citation re CURLEWS

Full text:

3.7: States "no credible risk" in following areas:
2nd bullet point should read Farm "BUILDINGS"
3rd,& 4th: within 25m of settlement boundary (where you are trying in the Local Plan document, to say B-i-W has no firm settlement boundaries) & within 25m of a main road. Where is the evidence to support this? Burley residents have ample metadata'd photographic evidence that this is very wrong.
5th Arable: note1:"...arable CAN be used by SPA species, but BDMC its considered of ltd importance beyond 400m"
Section: 3. Enabling development: the strategy
3.7: States "no credible risk" in following areas:
2nd bullet point should read Farm "BUILDINGS"
3rd,& 4th: within 25m of settlement boundary ( where you are trying in the Local Plan document, to tell us that B-i-W has no firm settlement boundaries) & within 25m of a main road.

5th Arable: note1:"...arable CAN be used by SPA species, but BDMC its considered of ltd importance beyond 400m"
Para 3.8: species stated. Curlew & lapwing are the two most seen types.
The citation on CURLEWS is 23yrs old, and does not take into account dramatic decline in species. Curlew now on RED list, subject to massive national campaign to preserve them from extinction.
3.11 Must be an obligation to use.
3.12: NO WEBLINK to note 2
