Question · Action Scorecards 2025
Criteria met if the local authority has introduced a Green Space Factor (or Urban Greening Factor) in their planning policies.
For more information on the Green Spaces Factor please read Natural England's guidance here: https://designatedsites.naturalengland.org.uk/GreenInfrastructure/GIStandards.aspx
If the Green Space Factor is only applied to major developments or to a specific area of the local authority then it would still be awarded the points.
However, it must be a policy that the local authority has adopted in the Local Plan or Supplementary Planning Document rather than only included in a specific Neighbourhood Plan.
