Green Infrastructure a) Objective The green infrastructure stream will support greenhouse gas emission (GHG) reductions, enable greater adaptation and resilience to the impacts of climate change and climate- related disaster mitigation, and ensure that more communities can provide clean air and safe drinking water for their citizens. This stream includes the following three sub-streams:
Green Infrastructure. An approach to excess precipitation that uses simple methods to reduce and treat at the point of impact. The methods and structures are designed to mimic natural and semi-natural areas that can collect, absorb and filter the water, a manner of water purification and climate mitigation. Storm water: The rainwater or melted snow that runs off streets, lawns and other surfaces. Amounts can vary based on the intensity of the storm.
Green Infrastructure. The Mersey Forest Team is at the forefront of championing the concept of green infrastructure planning. Green infrastructure planning is becoming increasingly familiar to a wide range of professionals involved in economic and land use planning. The Forest Team needs to maintain its lead role in this area and also to provide support to partner organisations in their development of green infrastructure strategies, frameworks and plans. Key actions in 2009/10 will be to: • Develop the Green Infrastructure Unit • Complete the Merseyside Green Infrastructure Framework and initiate the Cheshire and Warrington version • Deliver the Critical Green Infrastructure study and continue our work on green infrastructure and climate change.
Green Infrastructure. According to the Green Infrastructure Center (2008), "Green infrastructure includes the interconnected natural systems and ecological processes that provide clean water, air quality, and wildlife habitat. GI sustains a community's social, economic, and environmental health." GI planning jointly considers management of wastewater, drinking water, and ground and surface water resources together with management of natural and built land features like contours, forests, and floodplains as well as roads, park systems, and building and zoning regulations that reduce sprawl and stormwater runoff (Xxxxxxxx, 2008). Using a statewide Virginia GI assessment, counties and regions are now working with agencies to integrate GI use and protection into their local comprehensive planning efforts with the intention of reducing long term financial and environmental costs while also facilitating compliance with various state and federal environmental requirements (Virginia Department of Conservation & Recreation, 2008.) LID and ESD practices facilitate the protection and use of GI in comprehensive planning. See xxxx://xxxxx.xxx.xxx/npdes/xxxx.xxx?program_id=298. Smart growth. Smart growth also deals with issues that encompass but are much broader than stormwater. In addition to preserving open space, farmland, natural beauty, and critical environmental areas, smart growth includes principles such as mixing land uses and creating walkable neighborhoods (USEPA, 2008b). Smart growth should consider the integration of GI into land management and development planning. Some smart growth practices reduce the amount of paved surfaces and can allow natural lands to filter rainwater and runoff (USEPA, 2008c). See xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxx.
Green Infrastructure. Developer shall make its best efforts to incorporate green infrastructure elements into its plans for both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 development.
Green Infrastructure. Mangrove restoration CCAP initiated the process of identifying individuals and organizations with experience on economic alternatives to harvesting mangroves, particularly in the area of honey production. CCAP arranged for municipal agricultural officers, representatives from the Provincial Directorate of Land, Environment and Rural Development (DPTADR), and other stakeholders to meet with a community-based honey production association in Mopeia Figure 4: Training session for SIGIC data senders from Maganja da Costa community in Zambézia district to learn about how the association produces and markets honey for the benefit of the Mopeia community. This informative meeting helped CCAP staff and participants to understand the basic elements of the honey value chain. CCAP is considering developing a partnership with this association to share and transmit their knowledge to stakeholders living around Quelimane, although additional research on the economic viability of honey production is necessary first.
Green Infrastructure. Prior to the occupation of the development hereby permitted, details of the green infrastructure (including details of planting species and maintenance) in order to mitigate air pollution for public and private amenity areas on the site boundaries with Wood Lane (A219), Westway (A40) and West Cross Route (A3220) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The green infrastructure for each phase shall be constructed and planted in full accordance with ‘Using Green Infrastructure to Protect People from Air Pollution’, Mayor of London, GLA, April 2019 guidance document within the first available planting season following completion of Buildings. Any plants which die, are removed, become seriously damaged and diseased within a period of five years from completion of these buildings shall be replaced in the next planting season with others of similar size and species. Approved details shall be fully implemented for each phase prior to the occupation/use of that phase of the development and thereafter permanently retained and maintained. To comply with the requirements of the NPPF, Policies 7.14a-c of the London Plan, and Policy CC10 of the Local Plan 2018.
Green Infrastructure. 20. Public open space including areas of structural landscaping (in aggregate substantially in excess of the policy requirement of 30.17 hectares) will be provided throughout the site on a phased basis. It will include 1 NEAP, 6 LEAPS and LAPS associated with the residential development, outdoors sports pitches and hard surface multi-use game areas, together with a clubhouse and associated car parking. Areas for informal recreation and amenity will be forest planted or landscaped in other ways.
Green Infrastructure. Large developments often include elements like landscaping, park space, sustainable building materials, water filtration systems, and other forms of green investment. Increasingly, developers tout sustainable features as evidence of doing right by a community. Community benefits agree- ments offer a language for tying together “green” developments to issues of labor and economic access. They are also an opportunity to make environmental- ly-based demands that are more than cos- metic beautification or self-congratulatory rhetoric. • The coalition can articulate clear, measur- able and enforcable demands.
