However, this has been deferred, by one year, to April 2020. Consequently the magnitude of any fall in the Business Rates retained by MVDC will not be confirmed until late 2019. • Both the Joint Waste Contract and the Asset Investment Strategy are not yet fully implemented, and the final financial benefit is not yet confirmed, although it is clear that both will generate a significant financial gain. • Equally, it is too early to confirm the increase in revenue from ‘pay and display’ charges implemented in August 2018. Therefore the principles of caution, prudence and focus on value for money that have characterised the Council’s approach to its budget in recent years, have been maintained while setting the budget for 2019-20 and for the medium term financial plan. Any further significant additions to the Capital Programme will either require funding from a ‘capital receipt’, (sale of a Council asset), or from borrowing.

BOAs are those areas where targeted maintenance, restoration and creation of Natural Environment & Rural Communities (NERC) Act ‘Habitats of Principal Importance’, ie. Priority habitats will have the greatest benefit towards achieving this aim. Recognition of BOAs directly meets National Planning Policy Framework policy for the planning system to contribute to international commitments for halting the overall decline in biodiversity, by establishing coherent ecological networks that are more resilient to current and future pressures (para. 109). Designation of BOAs in local plans will also fulfil NPPF requirements to plan for biodiversity at a landscape-scale across local authority boundaries; and identify & map components of the local ecological networks (para. 117). Explanatory BOAs identify the most important areas for wildlife conservation remaining in Surrey and each include a variety of habitats, providing for an ‘ecosystem approach’ to nature conservation across and beyond the county.
