• None

  Policy

  SuDS measures should be designed at or near the surface and located with discharge routes following the SuDS hierarchy.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: N2.13

• None

  Policy

  New sustainable drainage measures must look to include human scale multi-functionality within their design such as play features and increased biodiversity.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: N2.14

• None

  Policy

  SuDS and soft landscape maintenance plans are co-beneficial in order to minimise both current and future risk of SuDS failing due to lack of maintenance.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: N2.15

• None

  Policy

  Any development in Uttlesford must deliver minimum 10% biodiversity net gain in accordance with national net gain legislation, using the latest version of the Defra calculator.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: N3.1

• None

  Policy

  Developments of 100+ homes are expected to be ambitious in delivery of net gain and to showcase exceptional examples of ecological mitigation and enhancement. These developments (see section 5 Development Scale Coding) are expected to deliver 20% biodiversity net gain.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: N3.2

• None

  Policy

  Applicants must provide a baseline assessment to demonstrate an understanding of the scheme’s biodiversity opportunities and constraints.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: N3.3

• None

  Policy

  Proposals must follow the mitigation hierarchy approach to biodiversity net gain, starting with: ‘avoid, minimise, restore and offset’.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: N3.4

• None

  Policy

  Net gain delivery should follow a spatial hierarchy, with the maximum number of credits possible to be delivered onsite. This is followed, in decreasing order of preference, by offsite compensation within Uttlesford and as close as possible to the development, and then offsite compensation within Essex. Compensation elsewhere is considered to be a last resort.

  • Reference: N3.5

• None

  Policy

  Loss of higher distinctiveness habitats must not be offset by provision of larger areas of lower distinctiveness habitats, or by habitats of a different broad habitat type, even if this delivers an overall net gain in numbers of units.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: N3.6

• None

  Policy

  Schemes in areas identified in the Essex LNRS and Living Landscapes should outline their compliance with the area’s habitat creation priorities by, for instance, creating new parcels of target habitats or boosting connectivity among existing parcels onsite and/or offsite.
