Policy DM5 and DM6 - could be amended to ensure that the design of new developments secures enhancements for wildlife.

Policy DM29 - New sports and recreation facilities can represent significant areas of greenspace, the policy should therefore ensure that such development maximises the biodiversity opportunities of such sites.
