East of England Plan 55 POLICY ENV3: Biodiversity and Earth Heritage In their plans, policies, programmes and proposals planning authorities and other agencies should ensure that internationally and nationally designated sites are given the strongest level of protection and that development does not have adverse effects on the integrity of sites of European or international importance for nature conservation. Proper consideration should be given to the potential effects of development on the conservation of habitats and species outside designated sites, and on species protected by law. Planning authorities and other agencies should ensure that the region’s wider biodiversity, earth heritage and natural resources are protected and enriched through the conservation, restoration and re-establishment of key resources by: • ensuring new development minimises damage to biodiversity and earth heritage resources by avoiding harm to local wildlife sites and, wherever possible, achieving net environmental gains in development sites through the retention of existing assets, enhancement measures, and new habitat creation; • promoting the conservation, enhancement, restoration, re-establishment and good management of habitats and species populations in accordance with East of England regional biodiversity targets (Appendix B) and the priorities in the East of England Regional Biodiversity Map (Figure 7); • identifying and safeguarding areas for habitat restoration and re-establishment, in particular large-scale (greater than 200 ha) habitat restoration areas which will deliver human and wildlife benefit; • identifying, safeguarding, conserving, and restoring regionally important geological and/or geomorphological sites and promoting their good management; • ensuring the appropriate management and further expansion of wildlife corridors important for the migration and dispersal of wildlife; • having regard to the need for habitats and species to adapt to climate change; and • establishing networks of green infrastructure, maximising their biodiversity value, as provided for under Policy ENV1. The East of England Regional Assembly and its partners should work with authorities in neighbouring regions on strategic natural resource and biodiversity issues in areas such as the Chilterns, the Wash and Thames Estuary. 8.11 PPS9 Biodiversity & Geological Conservation, supported by wildlife legislation, accords the strongest possible level of protection to internationally and nationally designated sites; Circular 06/05 provides guidance on the protection of such sites. Designated sites cover some 6.6% of the region, comprising 567 Sites of Special Scientific Interest of which many are European sites – Special Areas of Conservation and Special Protection Areas – and Ramsar sites (wetlands designated for their international importance to wildlife). Some are also national nature reserves. 8.12 National policy also reflects wider nature conservation objectives, aimed at reversing past habitat losses. The UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) identifies ambitious targets to create and restore new wildlife habitats and species populations. There is considerable potential for the East of England to achieve its targets and reverse recent reductions in biodiversity. Local Development Documents should take account of BAP targets and priorities identified in county biodiversity network maps. Action plans for the management of the region’s biodiversity are set out in the Regional Environment Strategy. BAP priorities and targets are summarised in Appendix B.
