  • Leicester's Green Infrastructure Strategy
    LEICESTER GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE STRATEGY 2015-2025 EVIDENCE BASE, ACTIONS AND OPPORTUNITIES 1 | P a g e FOREWORD This framework sets out the strategic vision for our green sites in Leicester and the ways in which they can be created, managed and maintained to provide maximum benefits to the people who live, work or visit Leicester. The actions are supported by an evidence base of data and information which recognise and prioritise key areas where resources can be focussed to develop high quality green infrastructure (GI) into our new and existing communities. By placing the framework within the planning system it is possible to provide the key tools needed to secure these areas and design them to provide multi- functional green space. Improvements to established green space and creating new sites to surround built development will provide an accessible and natural green network. These areas will be capable of supporting a range of functions which include landscaping/public amenity, recreation, flood control, safer access routes, cooler areas to combat predicted climate change and places for wildlife. These functions give rise to a range of environmental and quality of life benefits which include providing attractive and distinctive places to live, work and play; improving public health, facilitating access and encouraging sustainable transport as well as offering an environment to support wildlife. Placing a monetary value on these benefits is difficult, but many have potential to deliver significant economic value by increasing the attractiveness of a neighbourhood for businesses and employers, encouraging tourism and associated revenue, reducing health care costs and maintenance or clean-up costs from flooding.

    HS2 Ltd ‘2018 Working Draft Environmental Statement’ Consultation Response of Leicestershire County Council December 2018 Structure of this response This Response to the HS2 Ltd Working Draft Environmental Statement (WDES) by is split into four parts. These are as follows: PART 1: Document Introduction and Main areas of Concern PART 2: Response to WDES Vol 2 – Community Areas LA03, LA04 and LA05 PART 3: Response to WDES Vol 2 – Route-wide Effects PART 4: Response to WDES Vol 3 – Off-route Effects PART 5: Appendices For any enquires about this response, please contact: [email protected] 1 | Page PART 1: Document Introduction and Maim areas of Concern i) This document and its appendices comprise Leicestershire County Council’s (the Council’s) response to the Working Draft Environmental Statement (WDES) for HS2 Phase 2b (the proposed scheme). We issue this response in the spirit of contributing to the processes surrounding this vast infrastructure project, but must include the caveat that the Council can only respond to the material to hand and further intensive work with HS2 Ltd is required to fully understand the impacts for Leicestershire and the most appropriate mitigation. ii) The Council recognises that the WDES is a draft document. However, it is disappointing that even in draft; there is a distinct lack of information provided in sections of the WDES, especially regarding the proposed scheme’s constructional and operational impacts and in respect of its design. But, the Council have determined to use this as an opportunity to shape the design and mitigation across the County. Where clear mitigation is not yet defined, the Council will seek to secure assurances from HS2 Ltd that further work will be carried out to inform the preparation of the Hybrid Bill, including HS2 Ltd preparing an Interim Transport Assessment (including sensitivity testing), and during the Parliamentary processes.
