The spatial strategy should take a strategic approach, identifying all natural environment objectives as well as opportunities and areas for enhancement or strategic projects. Ideally there should be linkages with BAPS, NIAs, LNPs, NCAs, and Green infrastructure strategies The strategy should be additional to positive policies on, landscape, biodiversity (including geodiversity), green infrastructure and access to nature.
Growth opportunities should avoid:
designated sites/priority habitats
protected landscapes
Best and Most Versatile (BMV) Agricultural Land
areas at risk of flooding
brownfield sites of high environmental value
Plans should allocate land with the least environmental or amenity value.
