We are pleased to see mention made of your intention to support the Crouch and Roach Management Plan in this policy.
Please note that the core strategy should also be seeking to enhance biodiversity through development in accordance with PPS1 and PPS9. This will involve retaining existing natural features within any development and seeking opportunities to create new habitats and link in with existing adjacent habitats. The Essex Biodiversity Project has produced an informative guide called: 'Integrating Biodiversity into development...realising the benefits'. This is available on their website: www.essexbiodiversity.org.uk.
