You will not be disappointed! However, GI is not just about having access to some great parks and the countryside - it’s about far much more than that. Doncaster enjoys being home to 2 Nature Improvement Areas, of which just 12 exist nationally – the Dearne Valley and Humberhead Levels. In these areas conservation activities are being targeted to deliver the greatest gains for biodiversity through collaborative working with our partners. Potteric Carr Nature Reserve is a fantastic Councillor Christine Mills resource which is famed for its wetland birds and lies just to the south-east of the centre of Portfolio Holder for Environment & Waste, Doncaster. The Don Gorge Project is maximising Doncaster Council, April 2014 Executive Summary This is the Doncaster Green Infrastructure Strategy 2014 – 2028, Making Doncaster a Greener, Healthier, more Attractive Borough. This adoption version of the Strategy has been informed by extensive public consultation to ensure it reflects the key priorities and projects for the Doncaster Borough. A separate Consultation Summary report is published alongside this Strategy setting out further detail of the stages involved in arriving at this adoption version. Green infrastructure is a network of multi-purpose spaces that provide the opportunity for the co- ordination and delivery of environmental improvements that also offer numerous socio-economic benefits, such as encouraging inward investment and improving quality of life. A successful network helps to create a safe and accessible environment, mitigate climate change, reduce traffic noise and exhaust pollution, provides opportunities for sport and recreation, and protects and enhances our historic and natural environment. The Strategy sets out our overall approach for delivering an integrated network of high quality green spaces, habitats and landscapes across the borough and has been prepared in partnership with a range of stakeholders. The Strategy runs to 2028 in line with the Local Development Framework Core Strategy, but the Strategy will need to be reviewed frequently to ensure the aims and objectives are being met to help deliver the vision. The Strategy identifies particular funding and implementation opportunities, which include the vital work of Council partners and voluntary groups who invest significant time and resources into the borough’s green infrastructure assets ensuring they can be enjoyed by people across the borough. The Strategy looks at five green infrastructure themes. It looks at the valuable contribution each theme makes towards green infrastructure as well as the current situation and where we are going in relation to each one, before setting out a number of principles and actions for the future. These are: Theme 1 – Biodiversity & Geodiversity: Theme 2 – Trees & woodlands; Theme 3 – Green space; Theme 4 – Green routes; and, Theme 5 – Historic environment. Chapter 4 identifies the borough’s green infrastructure corridors, as well as a number of strategic project areas, before making a number of recommendations by Neighbourhood Area which will eventually form a series of delivery and action plans (Chapter 5). These delivery and action plans are currently being worked up into a finer grain of detail, including the identification of key projects which will be informed from the feedback from stakeholders and partners from the various stages of consultation already undertaken on this Strategy. The Council would like to take this opportunity to thank all the stakeholders and relevant parties that have taken the opportunity to feed into this important Strategy for the Borough. Any comments or further feedback that may be relevant for the rolling five year delivery action plans, and/or future review of this Strategy, are always welcomed and can be made via any of the contact details contained on the Council’s Green Infrastructure Strategy homepage, available via: www.doncaster.gov.uk/greeninfrastructure Service Improvement & Policy (Regeneration & Environment) Doncaster Council, April 2014 1 Foreword Executive Summary Contents Chapter 1: Introduction pg. 3 - What is the purpose of this strategy? - What is green infrastructure? - What is it made up of? - What are the functions? - Why invest in green infrastructure? - Green Infrastructure Strategy context Chapter 2: Our Overall Approach to Green Infrastructure pg. 23 - Vision & aims - Implementation - Monitoring Chapter 3: Doncaster’s Five Green Infrastructure Themes pg. 30 - Theme 1: Biodiversity & geodiversity - Theme 2: Trees & woodlands - Theme 3: Green spaces - Theme 4: Green routes - Theme 5: Historic environment Chapter 4: Green Infrastructure Corridors & Project Areas pg. 67 - Green infrastructure corridors - Strategic green infrastructure project areas Chapter 5: Findings & Recommendations (by Neighbourhood Area) pg. 78 - Central Area - North Area - East Area - South West Area Glossary of Terms pg. 99 Appendix 1: Green Space Types/Categories pg. 102 Appendix 2: Green Infrastructure Corridors Methodology pg. 104 2 Chapter 1: Introduction - What is the purpose of this strategy? - What is green infrastructure? - What is it made up of? - What are the functions? - Why invest in green infrastructure? - Green infrastructure strategy context Above: View from Conisbrough Viaduct 3 What is the purpose of this strategy? 1.1 The Doncaster Green Infrastructure Strategy sets out our overall approach for delivering an integrated network of high quality green spaces, habitats and landscapes across the borough and has been prepared in partnership with a range of stakeholders. Specifically, the Green Infrastructure Strategy: provides a coordinated approach to the planning and delivery of green infrastructure over the long term; highlights the issues, opportunities, threats and priorities relating to different types of green infrastructure where there are gaps or areas of need; integrates and combines relevant strategies that cover the green aspects of our environment into one overarching framework; sets out our green infrastructure standards in relation to quantity, accessibility, quality and value; sets out key principles that will guide the provision of green infrastructure to ensure it is embedded into the design of new development and adds value to the place-making process; and, acts as a basis for rolling five-year delivery and action plans. 1.2 The strategy will run to 2028 , but will need to be frequently reviewed to ensure the aims and objectives are being delivered. What is green infrastructure? 1.3 Green infrastructure is a planned network of multi-purpose spaces and routes that provide the opportunity for coordination and delivery of a wide range of environmental improvements that can also deliver multiple socio-economic benefits to an area, such as stimulating investment and improving quality of life. A successful network helps to create a safe and accessible environment, mitigate climate change (e.g. by reducing surface water run-off and providing urban cooling), reduce traffic noise

  • River Torne Catchment 2019/20
    River Torne Catchment 2019/20 Jamie McEwan 2 | P a g e Executive summary A series of 'Aspirational projects' have been developed by the Torne Catchment partnership over a number of meetings. This document addresses the need to be able to summarise potential projects by their multiple benefits, costs and relevance to available funding. True to the Catchment based approach it allows us to work effectively together combining resources to progress projects from an idea and enable the effective delivery of WFD and multiple benefits for the catchment. Developed by the partnership this document provides a list of projects summarising the relative contributions each project makes towards WFD funding themes and the partnership aims. It also provides a more detailed overview for each project outlining the status, lead partner, management and location of each project alongside its relevance to the funding themes and estimated cost. Within project descriptions further detail can be found for project justification, next steps for progress, and context. Appended is a blank project template detailing how partners can go about putting forward a new idea to be considered as a project for the catchment. Through partnership review and reporting this becomes a live document and process to help support a shared vision, clarity of purpose and the ability of the partnership to act fast on relevant opportunities. Ultimately this document will be an effective way of allowing all members of the partnership to contribute toward the development of the catchment. A project idea from its beginning can be brought forward to the partnership and its progress tracked to completion eventually forming a portfolio for the Torne Catchment partnership as well as an active and aspirational document.

The actions published in the LEAP are supplemental to our everyday work on monitoring, surveying and regulating to protect the environment. Some of the key achievements on our everyday work include: i) In September 1998 Michael Clapham MP officially opened the Bullhouse Minewater Treatment Plant. The scheme is a pioneering £1.2m partnership project funded by European Commission, Coal Authority, Environment Agency, Hepworths Building Products, Barnsley MBC and Yorkshire Water. Within one week a visible reduction could be seen in ochre levels in the River Don, after more than 100 years of pollution. ii) Monckton Coke and Chemical Company have successfully commissioned a combined heat and power plant, costing approximately £7 million.
