Respondent: Aberconwy and Clwyd West Labour Party

Representation Summary:

Although the draft plan makes passing reference to the importance of trees and hedgerows to encouraging biodiversity no reference to the need to control the increasingly widespread problems associated with the netting of trees and hedgerows is included. This practice is predominately used by developers and others to prevent birds nesting in both trees and hedgerows often prior to any planning permission being sought or granted. The RSPCA are calling on all council's to introduce policy guidelines that ensure development is not carried out during nesting periods and that the use of netting is banned or strictly controlled.

Our response:

Noted. This will be covered in the LDP policy and SPG. It did not form part of the PS as was not considered a strategic issue, and ultimately a legal issue.
