CPNE2 Green Infrastructure, Networks and Corridors

I.Existing Green Infrastructure (GI) is identified in Appendix A.5 Green Infrastructure and Routes Policy CPNE2 Map. The most important green corridor in Clifton is along the River Flit and the most accessible site is the Recreation Ground in the middle of the village. All GI identified on this map should be protected from harmful development, managed and where possible enhanced to create increased public access to green space.

II. GI should provide permeability networks for wildlife and people. In accordance with the Clifton Green Infrastructure Plan in this document, significant new GI will be created as shown on the Policies Map, in accordance with the Action Plan in Appendix Jthrough developer contributions and other funds as set out in Policy CPIM1:

  • Community Orchard
  • Allotments
  • Clifton Green Walk, a series of interconnecting footpaths to circumnavigate the village with spokes that lead back to the centre to provide a variety of different length walks.

IV. New GI should be included in all major development proposals where it is appropriate and practical to do so. Such GI should provide functional wildlife habitat linking habitats together, and where possible, public access.
