Solihull's Green Spaces Strategy
The strategy was adopted following the resolution of the Council's Cabinet on 26 August 2006
The strategy contains the following vision for Solihull's Green Spaces:
"Solihull aims to provide attractive, high quality, accessible green spaces that are managed and developed, recognising local character, to meet the diverse needs of the community. They should be safe, clean and maintained in a sustainable way, becoming an important element of every day life, for the future enjoyment of all."
Principal features of the Green Spaces Strategy are to:
- Deliver networks of accessible, high quality and sustainable green spaces and facilities for physical activities which meet local needs and are valued by the community, both in urban and rural areas.
- Help ensure an appropriate balance between enhancement and increased access to existing provision, and new provision; including a clear framework for investment priorities and action.
- Provide clarity for development proposals in relation to the requirements and expectations of the Authority in respect to green space and facilities for physical activity.
- Set local standards for provision of each different type of green space.
