Policy EN5 and its supporting text should be redrafted to recognise the need to balance environmental matters with the economic and social benefits of development proposals. It should also be revised to allow for developments to proceed on sites adjacent to/in the vicinity of local nature reserves and local wildlife sites (such as Combe Haven), provided that commensurate mitigation measures are included.
