SO6: Protecting and enhancing natural assets
This strategic objective is unsound because it makes no reference to ensuring no net loss of biodiversity, and because in its criteria for supporting minerals development it does not specify avoiding the highest quality habitats for biodiversity – only landscapes of the highest quality for character. It therefore does not meet the criterion of effectiveness as set out in Para 35 of the NPPF.
