The Environment needs to be seen as an asset, this can be applied to the Landscape Stewardship section and Biodiversity and Greenspace. This is addressed to some extent in the latter in the context of the creation and enhancement of green networks.

Also relevant to this is the concept of Ecosystem Services. Provision for maintaining natural environments could be incorporated into policy frameworks.
With reference to green networks and green infrastructure, a consistent terminology should be applied throughout the document.

Note that Box 30 (e) contains an incorrect reference; this should be policy NRM5, not 4, of the South East Plan (proposed changes).
