G1 Green Infrastructure
- London’s network of green and open spaces, and green features in the built environment, should be protected and enhanced. Green infrastructure should be planned, designed and managed in an integrated way to achieve multiple benefits.
- Boroughs should prepare green infrastructure strategies that identify opportunities for cross-borough collaboration, ensure green infrastructure is optimised and consider green infrastructure in an integrated way as part of a network consistent with Part A.
- Development Plans and area-based strategies should use evidence, including green infrastructure strategies, to:
- identify key green infrastructure assets, their function and their potential function
- identify opportunities for addressing environmental and social challenges through strategic green infrastructure interventions.
- Development proposals should incorporate appropriate elements of green infrastructure that are integrated into London’s wider green infrastructure network.
