Minutes:
The Committee considered a report that sought approval of the creation of Habitat Banks on identified Spelthorne Borough land for the purpose of Biodiversity Net Gain.
The Committee were advised that the land identified was due to their potential to offer units to developer. They would also suit enhancement to address the fact that they, at present, do not have a good level of biodiversity. Reassurance was given that any land identified would continue to remain under the ownership of the Council and that any enhancement works would need to be agreed.
The Committee resolved to approve the creation of Habitat Banks on identified Spelthorne Borough land, for the purpose of Biodiversity Net Gain.
