Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Inland waterways can contribute towards the provision of significant local and strategic Green Infrastructure, as they provide important wildlife corridors and can support significant biodiversity along their length. The definition of green infrastructure includes "blue infrastructure and blue spaces" such as waterways, towpaths and their environs. We therefore consider that PO15, in addition to identifying river corridors as opportunities for creation or enhancement of green infrastructure, should refer to the canal network and the opportunities it also presents in this regard.
