The Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull Green Infrastructure Strategy aims to create -A diverse and well-managed Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull Green Infrastructure network that underpins the quality of life for communities.
This will be the result of a well connected, accessible and biodiversity resilient landscape, supporting economic growth, social health and climate change adaptation.
The purpose of this Strategy is to provide evidence for the preparation of plans, policies and strategies relating to Green Infrastructure (GI) at a sub-regional level. It is to be available for adopting as a strategic mechanism to deliver GI enhancements across the partner authorities to meet national, sub-regional and local GI needs. However, it can be applied at a local, parish and field level through partnership and landowner assistance.
The Strategy details how Landscape, Biodiversity and Accessibility to the countryside GI assets have been identified and recommendations for their protection and enhancement. These GI assets are important to strategic spatial planning and Neighbourhood Planning policies and subsequent development proposals. However, as importantly, the Strategy is to help landowners integrate biodiversity, accessibility and landscape into their businesses.
