BW is please to see the reference to the canal within paragraph 12.2 as green corridors. PPS12 identified canals as part of the green infrastructure, which needs to be funded and developed to support development providing sustainable transport routes.
The canal infrastructure can contribute to new waterside developments to cater for healthier and active living by encouraging walking and cycling via use of the canal and adjacent leisure facilities.

Developer contributions from waterside developments can be secured to improve canal corridors, increase walking and cycling opportunities within the canal network, improvements and transport initiatives and create a link between town and country.
