Sustainability Appraisal for Core Strategy Consultation on Strategy Directions
Representation ID: 20451
Received: 29/01/2009
Respondent: Natural England
Representation Summary:
The SA recognises that strategic open space between Bexhill and Hastings will largely be managed for public enjoyment rather than for biodiversity benefits. In planning for green infrastructure in the District, the draft Core Strategy should set out a strategy for assessing both the quality and quantity of green and open space. Natural England recommends that any audit of green space in the District incorporate measures to assess, and targets to enhance, the quality of green space.
