As identified within the initial draft local plan plan, Wi******er District is required to deliver a significant amount of new housing. Biodiversity and nitrate neutrality are a particular concern across South Hampshire due to the potential impact on the Solent. It is therefore imperative that development across Wi******er District incorporates the planting of trees at scale and protects existing landscape features which would ensure significant net biodiversity gains. A new town at Micheldever Station would secure these, helping to manage water across the area and achieve nitrate neutrality.
