We object to the consideration in draft Policy Direction 38 to seek a higher percentage of biodiversity net gain (‘BNG’) than the mandatory 10%. If a higher percentage is sought, then the policy should be supported by evidence base to ensure that the policy is justified in line with NPPF paragraph 36. Consideration should also be given to the implications that a higher BNG would have on the viability of sites and their ability to be delivered efficiently. The provision of on-site BNG above 10% will have implications on site yields and is likely to lead to more sites requiring allocation to meet the significant development needs of South Warwickshire.
