Policy EN7: Green and Blue Infrastructure
Representation ID: 8083
Received: 22/11/2024
Respondent: Natural England
Natural England is supportive of policy EN7. We welcome reference to Natural England’s Green Infrastructure Framework under the section “Why the Policy is needed” and the inclusion of the GI Principles Wheel. We would however like to see reference to the National GI Standards which include Accessible Greenspace, Urban Nature Recovery, Urban Greening Factor, and Urban Tree Canopy Cover. These standards can provide output measures so that developers have certainty over what green infrastructure is needed on site. We suggest that the Green Infrastructure Framework should be included within the list of Supporting Evidence.
