The policy says 'expected to support the principles' and this wording isn't strong enough. If the Councils intend to reach 30% of land dedicated to nature and in recovery by 2030, as per the Environment Act 2021, then more ambitious targets are needed.

We must enhance the biodiversity that already exists and not destroy it by building on greenbelt land. We should support it in areas it’s already shown to be thriving with existing wildlife corridors and well-established habitats such as the Clopton Corner part of SQ18 adjacent to the Welcome Hills.

The focus should be on enhancing and supporting the biodiversity that already exists. This involves reinforcing wildlife corridors and well-established habitats where biodiversity is thriving. By doing so, we can create a more connected and resilient ecosystem, allowing species to move freely and access resources. This approach not only conserves existing biodiversity but also promotes its growth and adaptation to changing environmental conditions. It is essential to prioritise areas with high biodiversity potential and ensure that conservation efforts are sustainable and effective. By working together with nature, we can build a healthier and more vibrant ecosystem for future generations.

The primary objective should be to enhance and support the existing biodiversity. This entails reinforcing wildlife corridors and well-established habitats where biodiversity flourishes. By doing so, we can construct a more interconnected and resilient ecosystem, enabling species to move freely and access resources. This approach not only safeguards existing biodiversity but also fosters its growth and adaptation to evolving environmental conditions. It is crucial to prioritise areas with high biodiversity potential and ensure that conservation efforts are sustainable and effective. Collaborating with nature allows us to construct a healthier and more vibrant ecosystem for future generations.

As set out with the introduction of the Environmental Act and legality of developments providing a net gain, the highest scores available are for existing retained habitats. These should be protected as much as possible.
Existing wildlife corridors and established habitats should be the priority.

What exactly is "will be expected to support the principles of LNRS" supposed to mean? Developers don't have any interest in supporting either nature recovery or climate change mitigation. At Meon Vale, in mitigation for the loss of several bat roosts, a bat house was built in a location which was totally inappropriate and of a size and design that was totally inadequate. Developers will always do the absolute minimum that they can get away with, with zero regard for nature recovery.

Agreed, but lacking in detail. As an example, the large area of land without roads that backs onto Kenilworth Castle (of which SG04 forms a part) must be protected and not reduced in any way. Migration routes, unaffected by roads, which are extensive in area are known to enable animal and bird populations to increase.

It is far better to preserve existing biodiversity than expect the recreation of this through mitigation, which is unlikely. Preserving wild areas is essential for biodiversity and allowing these areas to naturally adapt to climate change without further human disturbance is preferable.

South Warwickshire should be enhancing the biodiversity that already exists, and supporting it in areas it's already showing to be thriving with existing wildlife corridors and well established habitats. There is a group of resident deer in the fields of SG18, which has grown from three to seven in the last five years, they have a relatively safe corridor towards the Welcombe Hills currently, but these deer would be impacted directly by the development, as they live in a small wood in the middle of the proposed development. Buzzards, kites and owls live in and around this site too.

The policy wording isn’t strong enough. ‘expected to support the principles’ should be rephrased 'must support' . If the Councils intend to reach 30% of land dedicated to nature and in recovery by 2030 (Environment Act 2021) then much more ambitious targets are needed.
