Rochford District Core Strategy Regulation 26 Draft

Representation ID: 261

Buffers and green corridors can help support wildlife by providing habitat corridors and facilitating movement between sites. We do however wish to point out that brownfield sites can support surprisingly high levels of biodiversity and as such should be comprehensively assessed.
