The LDF should adopt the standards for the targets for the provision of Green Infrastructure and planned urban extensions to meet Accessible Natural Greenspace Standard (ANGST) â€" raised in the previous Local Plan and the Woodland Trust Woodland Access Standards Recent research (McKernan, 2006) shows that Rother has 5% of households meeting all the ANGST standards, with 85% of households meeting one of the ANGST standards. Green infrastructure should be given equal weight to the other infrastructure required to develop the expanding and new sustainable communities.
