The draft policy direction states that a higher percentage of BNG above the statutory 10% requirement is being explored. Such an approach may unnecessarily burden development sites as the provision of net gains in biodiversity can impact on the viability of proposals and the capacity of sites. It is hence requested that the South Warwickshire authorities explore evidence on how a higher BNG would affect the capacity of sites when balancing other technical and environmental considerations and planning obligations.
