Biodiversity means having as wide a range of different species as possible. Maintaining biodiversity is an important part of using the environment in a sustainable way. It’s important that our built environment does not cause the loss of biodiversity and so it needs to make space for nature.
Cornwall Council have produced a Supplementary Planning Document on Biodiversity that can inform the Neighbourhood Plan:
