Respondent: Environment Agency
Representation Summary:
We fully support this policy, which promotes an integrated approach to providing green infrastructure, including using it for open space, recreation, flood risk management, habitat creation, climate change mitigation and water quality improvements. This should be expanded to make reference to realising opportunities to meet the objectives of the Thames and Anglian River Basin Management Plan (RBMPs), for example through protecting and enhancing river corridors or networks of wildlife habitats. It is disappointing that no reference is made to either of the RBMPs as part of the evidence base.
