Green Networks Interim Supplementary Guidance / Priority 1 / Priority 2 / Priority 3
Priority 4 - Ensure a positive contribution to the further development of the green network and high quality local greenspace.
The green network in the area can make a significant difference to property prices, improve health and wellbeing and make areas more attractive to live in. To ensure that these benefits are maximised it is important to consider the development of the green network as early as possible in the masterplanning process. To facilitate this early and effective pre-application advice can identify the key elements of the green network which are relevant to a proposed development.
We recommend that all developers consult with the Council as early as possible to consider how a development in this area can meet the aims of the green network and actively contribute towards its consolidation. One of the most effective ways of doing this is through the Council’s Pre-Application Advice Service, further information can be found at by clicking here.
