Representation ID: 4856

Received: 17/03/2023

Respondent: Environment Agency

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

We note that green infrastructure provision is mentioned in this policy and within the glossary there is reference to this term including blue infrastructure. However, it would be better to change all references to ‘green infrastructure’ to say ‘green/blue infrastructure’ to ensure that opportunities in the water environment alongside the terrestrial environment are not marginalised or ignored.

Change suggested by respondent:

Change all references to ‘green infrastructure’ to say ‘green/blue infrastructure’ to ensure that opportunities in the water environment alongside the terrestrial environment are not marginalised or ignored.
