Broadly agree but not entirely. Comments as lodged against DPD38 apply.
It would be no consolation for the community living next door to the appalling pollution from the waste site in Staffordshire if the operators were able to buy permits for another totally different and remote location thereby being allowed to carry on depositing waste.
(This example has an alternative connotation now that the site operator has entered financial liquidation)

Surely a better solution would be addressing the cause of carbon emissions, i.e. number of cars in an area etc rather than putting a sticking plaster over it which 'carbon sequestration' feels like? Better public transport and incentives for people to use it would be more effective?

It is unclear how this will deliver wider connecting corridors which are more substantial than the proposed small scale on-site improvements. The councils should update their Green/Blue Infrastructure evidence base, in line with the NPPF and in time to influence chosen housing sites in the Local Plan.

The proposed development in site BW could not contribute positively to the natural environment which in this case consists of 329ha of agricultural land, hedges and trees. It is already a habitat for a variety of animals and plants as well as agricultural crops totally within the Green Belt.

Whilst paragraph 187 of the Framework requires planning policies and decisions to contribute to and enhance the natural and local environment there is currently no requirement, or indeed reference, to Environmental Net Gain at a national level.
The Draft Policy Direction provides no justification for the inclusion of an ENG policy, nor any information about how such a policy would function in practice. There are no other examples of adopted Local Plan policies requiring ENG or any well-developed metric for measuring ENG. It is likely to harm viability, duplicate BNG requirements, cause longer lead-in times and the uncertainty could delay the deliverability of sites. As such this policy direction should be removed from the emerging Plan.

Whilst it is acknowledged that there is supportive text within the NPPF (Para 187) it is also noted that this is an emerging area of policy which has limited coverage in other local plans.

I don't think Policy 39 goes far enough. Our wildlife is under huge pressure already and the proposed small scale on-site improvements are not enough to provide the wider ranging connecting corridors to support and nurture local species. I would like to see the Green/Blue infrastructure evidence base updated in line with the NPPF in time to influence chosen housing sites in the Local Plan.

This emerging policy feels like work in early progress. Research needs to be done on other authorities that have introduced similar policies. It will be important to avoid overlap with DPD 38 (BNG) so as not to increase the burden on developers through duplication. A clear definition of how ENG goes above and beyond BNG is important as is how ENG will be measured.

While Environmental Net Gain (ENG) expands the scope beyond biodiversity, its effectiveness remains questionable. The holistic approach, though comprehensive, risks oversimplifying the complexities of ecosystems by focusing on broad metrics like air and water quality without fully addressing the root causes of environmental degradation. In practice, these broad measures may fail to produce meaningful improvements in local ecosystems, particularly in the short term. Additionally, ENG’s reliance on carbon sequestration as a starting point can overshadow more pressing concerns, such as habitat destruction and species loss, which need urgent attention before long-term solutions can be fully realized.

Carbon sequestration is not the answer to increased carbon footprint. Improving access to public transport and building the infrastructure for rail and other alternatives must be considered.
