Overview
Planning for Nature sets out the information applicants are expected to submit with planning applications on all scales to address Policy 41: Biodiversity in Local Development Plan 2. Planning Officers will use this guidance when they assess applications to make sure that proposals consider protected areas, wildlife and habitats, trees and woodland, early in the design process, and that measures to protect, support and enhance biodiversity are shown through the submitted designs.
Why your views matter
Planning for Nature is new guidance referred to in Policy 41 of Local Development Plan 2. The guide has been informed by the experience of the Council’s Biodiversity Officer and the Tayside Biodiversity Partnership Co-ordinator. It aims to set a consistent approach to surveys, information, mitigation and enhancement for wildlife in development proposals.
We invite anyone with an interest in development or biodiversity to comment on this draft guide, whether individuals or organisations. All comments will be fully considered.
What happens next
We are reviewing all the comments from the consultation and consider how to incorporate any changes that are needed into the document. The final document will then go to Council for their consideration.
