PL8: Green Infrastructure and Landscaping.

Green Infrastructure and landscaping must be protected and enhanced as part of development.

  • (b) existing Green Infrastructure and landscaping are protected and enhanced and in all cases are sympathetically integrated into the development;
  • (c) development makes connections wherever possible to landscaping and Green Infrastructure outside of the site.
