4.30. This policy supports creation of land and habitats that are able to sequester carbon through changes of use and through tree planting.
4.31. At North Cambourne our landscape strategy will be designed to sequester carbon, as well as providing biodiversity and landscape benefits. The current illustrative scheme contained in the vision document includes approximately 400 acres of open space. If 5% (20 ha) of that is planted as new woodland, it would sequester approximately 4,500 tonnes of C02 over the next 100 years. The tree growth will be managed to provide amenity, biodiversity and carbon benefits to the site.
