Objective 9 - the comprehensive planning for an area of undeveloped land of this size will have mixed impacts in terms of the protection, conservation & enhancement of biodiversity. Whilst open land will be built on, opportunities will be created for the management & improvement of (for example) areas of ancient woodland, streams & other landscape features. it will also provide the opportunity to assess & afford protection to species of value which may well not be recognised with the land in its current use. It is felt therefore that the score could reflect a less negative impact & we suggest that this may be a 'slight positive & slight negative effect'
