Neighbourhood planning: a guide for hedgehog conservation

Summary

One page sheet suggesting how Neighbourhood planning could play an important role in protecting green networks for hedgehogs and other wildlife within planning policy. it provides a suggested statement to use as a template in Neighbourhood Plans, allowing local people to clearly state in the plan that both the presence and continuity of green space is a priority for local people and local wildlife. Although this is developed for Warwickshire, it could be used as a model in other areas.
