We object to the proposed production of a ‘greening factor’. The SWLP notes that the ‘greening factor’ will be used to establish the level of green infrastructure required for major development. We consider that robust evidence will need to be provided to demonstrate that any proposed Greening Factor is feasible, deliverable and does not impact on the viability of sites when combined with other requirements placed on development such as Biodiversity Net Gain and Environment Net Gain the provision public open space. It is unclear whether the ‘greening factor’ will replace standard public open space requirements. Any requirement needs to be appropriately justified and evidenced (NPPF paragraph 36).
