Proposed SA Objectives

As per comments on the Issues and Options Paper, Objective 2 should reflect the NPPF and seek to protect and enhance biodiversity 'where possible' as opposed to at all levels. The NPPF recognises that biodiversity should be protected, enhanced and where necessary any impact mitigated against as opposed to being categorical that all development needs to provide ecological enhancement.
