The objective to ‘Increase and improve our network of habitats for wildlife, and green spaces for people, ensuring that development leaves the natural environment better than it was before’ is most important. Policies must provide for the protection and enhancement of existing green spaces and corridors, in more urban areas especially where they are adjacent to areas of major development. Developers always seek to underplay the negative impacts of development such as the loss of open space, the effects of hard surfaces etc. Increasing green spaces for people is a necessary counter.
