Support the commitment to conserve and enhance natural assets. Consistent with national policy.
8.65 - Add EU Birds Directive.
8.72 - Add 'integrated' before bird boxes which is relevant to new dwellings and other buildings. Integrated nest boxes require no ongoing maintenance and blend seamlessly within the design of a building. Traditional boxes will require maintenance and repair and are not favoured architecturally. Research (action for swifts) indicates that public perception of integrated boxes is very favourable.
