Structure Plan Chapter 3 - Caring for the Environment
3.5 - Environmental Enhancement
- 3.5.1
The Key Principles of Policy SD1 in the Strategy include the achievement of environmental and community benefits through new development. Enhancement will primarily be focused towards nature conservation, landscape, built heritage and improving access. Coastal, estuarine and river corridor areas will be afforded special attention. Within Stirling's built up areas, open space enhancement will be the subject of a Green Space Strategy.
- 3.5.2
Councils are required to identify, and if necessary arrange for the remediation of contaminated land in their areas. The Councils will prepare strategies outlining how contaminated sites will be identified and proposing preliminary investigation of priority sites by June 2001.
Policy ENV5 - Environmental Enhancement
The Councils will seek to secure environmental enhancement including where appropriate the remediation of contaminated land through new development. Particular attention will be given to enabling enhancement of environmental features (including Green Belts, built heritage, rivers, lochs, the Forth Estuary, trees and woodland); transport corridors; areas of environmental degradation; and other areas and features identified within Local Plans and LBAPs. Developer funding for, or contributions towards provision, may be sought to secure appropriate remedial or compensatory environmental action in accordance with SDD Circular 12/1996.
