Representation Summary:

Support but require changes. We support the inclusion of this paragraph, which discusses the importance of ecological networks in conserving important habitats and helping to provide resilience to pressures such as climate change. We are pleased to note that the Council recognises its biodiversity responsibility under the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 and recommend that the Council's responsibilities under the Water Framework Directive are also recognised in this section.
