The strategic objective references green infrastructure which is to be strongly welcomed. However then makes no further description of this term. A description of Green Infrastructure should be included in paragraph 11.1 'Why is this a Strategic Objective' eg 'Green Infrastructure is a strategically planned and delivered network of high quality green spaces and other environmental features'.
It is also suggested that this statement is associated to the SCS objective relating to natural environment eg 'The built and natural environment has been protected and enhanced' and linked with the adopted LAA target of NI197 Biodiversity.
