DM10 Existing Businesses in the Green Belt - Preferred Option
Representation ID: 17918
Received: 13/04/2010
Respondent: Natural England
Natural England is generally supportive of Policy DM10. However, in addition to considering effects of additional generated traffic on the highway network, the council may wish to consider the possible effects on the capacity of other infrastructure, especially sewerage and power supply. Increased numbers of persons living or working at rural locations may exceed the capacity of existing sewage treatment systems, thus resulting in pollution or a need for upgrading. Increased power demands may require upgrading of local transformers and supply cables. Such upgrades may themselves have significant landscape or ecological impacts.

In the first bullet point under "By 2025" in the vision, please note that:
1) Natural England's PSA target (set by Defra) is to achieve >95% by area of SSSI land in 'favourable' or 'unfavourable recovering' condition by the end of 2010, therefore we would expect the stated target to have been achieved well before 2025;
2) 'favourable' is the 'best' condition - there is no 'better condition'.
