Maintain and improve environmental quality and assets 5.1 Protect and enhance habitats and species Would development of the site: provide opportunities for enhancement of biodiversity? avoid fragmentation and improve connectivity? affect the integrity of a European site? involve a loss of greenfield land? ++ Development of the site would not negatively affect biodiversity. 5.2 Promote conservation and wise use of land Is the site on previously developed land? Would development of the site: involve a loss of high quality agricultural land? involve remediation of previously developed land? ++ The site is within non -agricultural land 5.3 Protect and enhance landscape and townscape development of the site: protect woodlands, hedgerows, and watercourses? be likely to adversely affect an area of landscape importance? ++ Development of the site will not affect an area of landscape importance.
take advantage of passive solar gain through orientation? minimise use of energy through design and occupation? Is the site of a size to support waste to energy options? Is the site of sufficient size to provide on or off-site CHP? Is the site located such that it could be linked to an existing CHP facility? development should increase efficiency. To be effective in the longer term micro renewable measures will need to be designed in at neighbourhood scale. Overall energy use will increase through growth 6.2 Keep water consumption within local carrying capacity limits Would development of the site operate within the existing capacities for water supply and wastewater treatment? - Some potential substantial pressures on water resources, although potential to mitigate by designing in water efficiency measures. 6.3 Minimise consumption and extraction of minerals Is the site in a mineral safeguarding zone? Would development of the site: minimise demand for primary minerals and aggregates? enable the use of materials from nearby sources? Enable the recycling of local stone to reinforce local character? ? At design stage 6.4 Reduce waste generation and increase materials efficiency Would development of the site: ensure waste is recovered or disposed of without endangering human health or harm the environment? - creation will increase overall with an increase in households but new development should provide the opportunity to design in resource efficiency measures.
