We would like to see green infrastructure better integrated throughout the development plan, ensuring that the current functions deficits,
and future potential of green infrastructure are fully understood and that green infrastructure is considered at the outset of development,not as an afterthought. This will be key to enabling green infrastructure to be taken into account at every level in the Strategy; helping the need for open space, recreational amenities, green walking and cycling links and biodiversity enhancement measures to be incorporated in all new development. We recommend that an associated SPD is developed to address this issue.
