The requirement within this policy for new developments to protect or enhance biodiversity assets and avoid negative impacts on existing biodiversity is considered to be contrary to the NPPF which at para. 118 requires development to be refused only when '"significant harm" to biodiversity cannot be avoided,
mitigated or compensated. Opportunities to incorporate biodiversity in and around developments should be "encouraged" but avoidance of impacts is not a requirement of the NPPF. This policy is considered to be unsound because it is not consistent with national policy.
