This approach could benefit both residents and visitors to the borough. However, any new country park and open parkland facilities needs to be easily accessible and well connected.
A previously commissioned study, Urban Habitats is a possible reference
It is important that any new country park and open parkland facilities outside the borough is not to the detriment of green spaces or facilities in the borough.

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.

10.1 Should we develop local planning policies for the development of new or renewed sea defences

Managing our sea defences are impotent to the viability of the town and the local environment. Local planing policy should consider this.

Soft landscaping is important to the local area and should be included in all developments.
landscaping should be fit for the location so must be suitable, sustainable and maintainable. Trees are not the only form of urban street planting and should only be used in the correct location. Grass, shrubs and other plants can all be beneficial.

10.3 Support renewable and low carbon energy schemes, including photovoltaic (PV) panels, biomass plants and electric vehicle charging points

Respondent: Southend-on-Sea Borough Council - Parks and Open Spaces
Developments should keep up with changes in technology and should include onsite power generation and storage. Onsite generation should not contribute to local air quality issues or increased traffic. Plant such as biomass should be considered on a site by site bases. Developments should look at approaches such as passive house and ways to minimise energy usage. Water is a resource under pressure; developments should look at water conservation and grey and rainwater harvesting and use.
EV charging should be increased across the town.

All green space is important to the local environment and helps reduce our contribution to climate change. Farmland should be preserved where posable due to the benefits it can have to our environment.
