Adopted Supplementary Guidance
Green Networks are a network of green spaces and corridors within and around settlements, linking out into the wider countryside.
They can help to enhance the area’s biodiversity, quality of life and sense of place. A green network also provides the setting in which high quality, sustainable development can occur. The Green Networks Supplementary Guidance provides guidance on what a green network is and how an enhanced Highland green network can be delivered.
