G9 Geodiversity

In Development Plans, boroughs should:

  • establish clear goals for the management of identified sites to promote public access, appreciation and interpretation of geodiversity
  • ensure geological sites of European, national or regional conservation importance are clearly identified.

Development proposals should:

  • make a positive contribution to the protection and enhancement of geodiversity
  • protect Regionally Important Geological Sites (RIGS)
  • give Locally Important Geological Sites (LIGS) the level of protection commensurate with their importance.
