We welcome the need to preserve the adjacent wildlife sites and on-site habitats and in particular to treat the wildlife site on the eastern boundary with sensitivity and to create additional grassland habitat in that location. The wildlife site is noted for perennial flax and crested cow-wheat, which will have specific habitat requirements. The SPD should make clear that any habitat or open space enhancements in this location should not unintentionally have an impact on these plant species and that ideally, they should enable them to spread. An ongoing management contribution to achieve this would be required.
