Opportunities Mapping OPEN SPACE OPPORTUNITIES
HABITAT PRIORITIES
HOTPOTS
Our Opportunities Mapping project identifies locations which are key opportunities for delivery of the Green Network. The approach was developed in response to requests from planners that the identification of spatial priorities at regional, local authority and neighbourhood scale would be very useful to support the production of Green Network policy and the targeting of action. Our approach uses GIS spatial analysis to overlay data layers which highlight areas where multiple Green Network benefits can be delivered. The data layers used are: • access priorities • habitat priorities • open space opportunities • development opportunities
DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES
ACCESS PRIORITIES
These collectively identify where the planning system should facilitate expansion and enhancement of the Green Network.
