Planting in our streets is important to the natural environment. Existing verges should be protected and enhanced where possible.
All parking areas in new developments should be 'Green Driveways' using products such as grass reinforcement.
The local plan should encourage residents to use green driveways on there properties.
The local plan should preserve existing green space and encourage new green areas and environmentally friendly building design, e.g. green roofs on all developments.
The local plan should adopt a biodiversity calculator and offset for all development.
Developments should use sustainable technology, such as rain water harvesting, onsite power generation ans storage and passive house to minimise the impact on the local area and further afield.
Developments should minimise hard surfaces and maximise soft landscaping and green space.
Developments should support wildlife by incorporating habitats in to the landscaping and the buildings.
