Underpinning policy SP10 is the desire to create green infrastructure network across the District, ensuring that new development does not sever existing networks and where possible that new development can improve and enhance current networks.

EMFL supports the policy in principle but considers the policy and justification should recognise issues such as different types of land ownerships and where land is in private ownership with no public access, and different land uses. .

Respondent: National Trust

We support part A of policy SP10 which states that “the District’s Strategic Green and Blue Infrastructure (GI) network and assets, as defined in this policy and identified on the Inset Map (Appendix 14), will be protected, maintained, and where appropriate, enhanced.”

We note that land at East Riddlesden Hall and the surrounding land is included as part of the GI network and we support the inclusion of this land, which provides a range of multi-functional spaces, routes and assets for recreation, leisure and biodiversity.

We also support part B of this policy which requires development proposals to make a positive contribution to the provision of GI. In particular providing good GI links and recognising the importance for access to green space so that people have access to nature near to where they live together with protecting, enhancing and securing net gains in biodiversity.

Respondent: Historic England

We support this Policy. Green and blue infrastructure has a role to play in conserving and enhancing the historic environment. It can be used to improve the setting of heritage assets and to improve access to it, likewise heritage assets can contribute to the quality of green spaces by helping to create a sense of place and a tangible link with local history. Many landscapes, parks and open space themselves have heritage interest. Several elements of Bradford’s Green Infrastructure network are either designated heritage assets in their own right or contribute to the setting of its historic buildings and structures. The protection and effective management of this resource will not only help to safeguard many elements which contribute to the distinctive character of Bradford but also to deliver the plan’s Strategic Objective for its historic environment.

We welcome the identification of landscapes and cultural heritage assets as a feature of the Districts green and blue infrastructure network, and the links provide to related policies dealing with the conservation and enhancement of the historic environment.

We support the current content of policy SP10. We particularly support the inclusion of the word blue within green and blue infrastructure and that the District’s surface water assets are identified as strategic assets. We recommend that the policy title is updated to reflect this – so that it reads “Policy SP10 Green and Blue Infrastructure”.

Respondent: Environment Agency

We also recommend the inclusion of additional wording (underlined) within bullet points A and B, 1 (a, b, c & d) of Policy SP10 – so that they read:

“The District's Strategic Green and Blue Infrastructure (GI) network and assets, as defined in this policy and identified on the Inset Map (Appendix 14), will be protected, maintained, and wherever appropriate possible, enhanced. Green and Blue Infrastructure is defined as a range of multi-functional spaces, routes and assets for recreation, leisure, sustainable transport and biodiversity, and which can be classified under the following themes:
a) Designated areas of open space (Policy CO1).
b) Biodiversity assets including: designated wildlife sites (SPA/SAC, SSSI, LWS, LNR), wildlife habitat networks, priority habitats, trees and woodland (Policies SP11, EN2, EN3). In Bradford the South Pennine Moors is identified as a Strategic GI asset.
c) Water assets including rivers, canals, lakes and reservoirs (Policy EN7). In Bradford area the Rivers Aire and Wharfe (as well as all of their main and non-main river tributaries such as the River Worth, Silsden Beck, Bradford Beck and other water bodies such as the Leeds-Liverpool Canal) are identified as Strategic GI assets.
d) Active travel routes including public rights of way: footpaths, bridleways, cycle paths and greenways (Policies SP7, TR1, TR2).
e) Landscapes and cultural heritage assets including: the wider open countryside and areas of Green Belt (Policies SP5, EN4, EN5, EN6)”.

and
“Development proposals should make a positive contribution to the provision of Green Infrastructure and support its multi-functionality by:
a. Designing and integrating new and/or enhanced green and blue infrastructure into the scheme from the outset. Dependent on the nature, scale and location of the development, this should include the provision of:
 New, or enhanced, areas of green and blue space (in line with the requirements of Policy CO1);
 street trees and other areas of native planting and landscaping;
 green roofs or walls;
 new wildlife habitats or assets which benefit wildlife such as Swift bricks, bat boxes, etc.;
 Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS), including the use of permeable surfaces in outdoor spaces (including for car parking);
 Undeveloped buffer zones between existing Blue Infrastructure networks (surface water body’s – including rivers and streams) and the proposed development.
b. identifying opportunities to link areas of green space together in order to fill gaps within the existing Green and Blue Infrastructure network.
c. providing new connections and enhancements to the existing Green and Blue Infrastructure network and where the development falls within or adjacent to the network, ensure that the network is not severed by putting in place sufficient mitigation measures to maintain its functionality and connectivity.
d. protecting, enhancing and securing measurable net gains in biodiversity (in line with Policy EN2).
e. ensuring that where opportunities exist the scheme connects to the existing walking and cycling networks and greenways”.

The Parish Council welcomes the clarification of a number of strategic policies in the Local Plan, and wholly supports policies for sustainable growth and development in the district which prioritise the use of brown field sites and which work towards the regeneration of key areas.
The Council is particularly pleased to note the increased emphasis on strategies designed to achieve net zero carbon emissions by means of promoting greener lifestyles and practices, and recognising the value of green infrastructure and open spaces.
