GI 1 – Green Infrastructure and New Development

Proposals will be permitted where opportunities for provision of additional Green Infrastructure have been fully considered and would be provided where justified by the character of the area or the need for open space.

Any open spaces provided as part of new development should, wherever practical and appropriate, be located where they can provide a safe link for the population and connectivity for biodiversity with the existing features of the Green Infrastructure Network.

Additional green infrastructure and habitat restoration and/or re-creation, should be provided in accordance with the appropriate guidance contained in the Kent Design Guide and the Sevenoaks Countryside Assessment SPD and should take account of the guidance within the AONB Management Plans and associated guidance where appropriate.
