Green no major ecological constraints identified from desk-top search. Surveys, and biodiversity enhancement in accordance with policy required.
SN3018 - Smaller part of SN0319. Rough grassland bounded on two sized by dwellings. Peartree farm on southern boundary. No other priority habitats identified onsite but adjacent too (see MAGIC). Site mostly in amber habitat zones for great crested newts. Site in SSSI IRZ, but residential development doesn't trigger consultation with Natural England. Applications for planning consent should be accompanied by a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal/Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA) which, together with the mitigation hierarchy, should inform the design. Consideration should be given to delivering Biodiversity Net Gain.

SN2103 - Shortlisted for up to 15 dwellings on a site of 0.9 hectares. Site bounded partly by hedges (priority habitats) which would mostly need to be removed for access (Highways comments) - the loss should be minimised and compensated for onsite through creation of new hedges. No other priority habitats identified onsite but adjacent too (see MAGIC). Site in green habitat zones for great crested newts.
