We would recommend that this policy considers the inclusion of the requirement for developers to apply the Building with Nature standards to all proposals.

Building with Nature is a framework that enables developers to integrate high-quality multifunctional green infrastructure to create places in which people and nature can flourish. It provides developers with a possible mechanism to deliver several local and national policies/guidance, relating to biodiversity, SuDs, and community wellbeing.

We would advocate for the application of this tool and its inclusion within policy, due to its ability to proving an overarching framework by which to deliver multifunctional green infrastructure and climate action commitments made locally and nationally.
