Send 4 – Green and Blue Infrastructure
Proposals for development within Send Parish that comply with other Development Plan policies will be supported provided that:
- they protect the countryside setting of the settlements of Send, Send Marsh and Burnt Common;
- wherever possible they include the provision and enhancement of green and blue infrastructure within Send Parish, including wildlife habitats and corridors, proportionate to the scale of development; and
- they seek to achieve net biodiversity gain proportionate to the scale of development and, where appropriate, they contribute to meeting the objectives of the River Wey Biodiversity Opportunity Area.
Proposals to promote greater use of the River Wey or Wey Navigation as a leisure and recreational resource, and other development proposals within the vicinity of either watercourse, will only be supported if they do not harm local biodiversity or water quality.
