Make Hedgehog Highways a Planning Condition
The government's Natural Environment guidance recommends
planning conditions that benefit wildlife including hedgehog
highways, bat boxes and swift bricks. WBC already regularly
conditions bat boxes.

Hedgehog highways would also help WBC meet obligations to achieve
biodiversity net gain on developments and contribute to the
creation of Nature Recovery Networks.
We therefore urge West Berkshire Council to reconsider the shortsighted decision and adopt planning conditions in line with government guidance.
