We welcome the amendment to ensure that the Council will seek contributions to ensure that the mitigation measures identified in the Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) can be addressed, including for any measures not classified as infrastructure. However, we advise that reference is also made to the mitigation strategy, as this is the document which should specify the detailed mitigation measures that will need to be delivered to ensure development proposed in the plan will not have an adverse effect on any European Protected sites. We therefore advise inserting the additional text to ensure the plan complies with the Habitats Regulations.
