Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report

Respondent: Local Nature Partnership
The infrastructure definition in Policy DEL 1 is broad, including public open space and sustainable drainage, but not specifically mentioning environmental infrastructure in DEL1 nor Paragraphs 5.1 to 5.6 of this report except in mitigating environmental impacts. We would like to see the provision of additional environmental and green infrastructure explicitly covered in this policy recognising the multiple benefits that will impact on health, transport networks and community facilities. The LNP can provide advice and support for this. It is also our opinion that this policy should be no different in greenbelt or urban areas.
