Biodiversity and Geological Conservation

The Council of the Isles of Scilly has collaborated with the Cornwall Wildlife Trust, the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust and Natural England to prepare the document - Biodiversity and Geological Conservation - Planning Good Practice Guidance for the Isles of Scilly. The document is designed to assist those who are submitting and determining planning applications in Scilly to understand how to ensure that biodiversity and, where relevant, geodiversity are protected, conserved and enhanced as a consequence of development.

In accordance with Government guidance set out in Planning Policy Statement 12: Local Development Frameworks, the Good Practice Guidance has been subject to a sustainability appraisal.

The Good Practice Guidance can be downloaded at the bottom of this page or it is available in printed format from the Planning and Development Department in the Old Wesleyan Chapel, Garrison Lane, St Mary's, Isles of Scilly.
