Summary
The policy is unsound because it is not ‘effective’ or consistent with national policy in delivering sustainable development through appropriate biodiversity led restoration and therefore fails the tests of Paragraph 35 of the NPPF. Specifically:
a) it fails to set out what happens where biodiversity gains are not maximised;
b) it does not reference restoration measures to any mitigation hierarchy; and,
c) it fails to specify requirements for sustainable long-term aftercare where restoration takes place.
