CP13 Green Infrastructure

The Borough Council, in partnership with other organisations, will plan for a network of accessible and integrated green infrastructure across the Borough of Surrey Heath and linked to neighbouring areas. The Council will seek to strengthen the role of the Green Infrastructure network.

In considering proposals for any new development the Borough Council will encourage schemes which contribute toward, or provide, opportunities to enhance the function of existing green infrastructure, increase provision and improve connectivity. Development which results in the loss, fragmentation or isolation of green infrastructure will be resisted.

Green infrastructure of strategic importance will include those areas designated as European sites and Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANGs) required to avoid and mitigate impacts to the European sites.
