Decision details

The creation of the Council’s first Green Infrastructure Strategy 2015-2030 was to provide a clear strategic pathway for the management and enhancement of the Borough’s Green Infrastructure. It was also to be used to inform planning decisions, identify opportunities to improve the green corridors and to provide information on how the Borough’s network contributed to the local, regional and national picture. The revised Strategy’s structure is based on the principles outlined within Natural England’s Green Infrastructure Framework.

RESOLVED that the public consultation on the Blue/Green Infrastructure Strategy be approved.

Reason

This is in accordance with the Council’s Corporate Plan Environment Objective: ‘Protect the environment for the future’.
