The GI design guide for MKSM

The basis
‘Planning Sustainable Communities’ Definition of GI Principles for delivering GI Case studies

GI planning across MKSM

Developing the design guidance
Initial idea tested at a workshop in April ’09
Project commissioned in late ’09 Consultation event in February ’10 Launched at MKSM Housing and
Planning Forum in April 2010

Testing with real examples• Consultation with
developers• Working with
developments on the ground to develop the guidance
• Case studies

How will the design guide help?
The guide shows how policies at all levels can be implemented; it bridges the gap between policy and implementation
![Page 10: Delivering Green Infrastructure through development Laura Kitson, Bedfordshire and Luton Green Infrastructure Consortium.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062318/551b8178550346a10a8b51b0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Working with the development process
The design guide fits with the various stages of the development process;
Preparation Design Implementation
What questions need to be asked at what stage?
![Page 11: Delivering Green Infrastructure through development Laura Kitson, Bedfordshire and Luton Green Infrastructure Consortium.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062318/551b8178550346a10a8b51b0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Focussing on design
The guide identifies a range of ‘design considerations’ - functions that a GI network should deliver;

Delivering GI at a strategic level through development
Case study from Central Bedfordshire

Informing the LDF policies
Policy CS17: Green Infrastructure
The Council will:
Seek a net gain in green infrastructure through the protection and enhancement of assets and provision of new green spaces as set out in the Strategic, Mid Bedfordshire and Parish Green Infrastructure Plans.
Take forward priority areas for the provision of new green infrastructure in the Forest of Marston Vale (including the Bedford and Milton Keynes Waterway), the Ivel Valley, the Greensand Ridge, the Flit Valley and the Chilterns.
Require new development to contribute towards the delivery of new green infrastructure and the management of a linked network of new and enhanced open spaces and corridors.
Development that would fragment or prejudice the green infrastructure network will not be permitted.

The evidence base needed
Infrastructure Plan – to justify the planning obligations SPD
GI plan – to justify the policies in the LDF
Detailed costs – to develop the standard charge in the SPD

The current situation
The planning obligations strategy was adopted in May 2008
Development has been slow
When received, contributions are pooled across the area, and the funding allocated to GI projects
![Page 19: Delivering Green Infrastructure through development Laura Kitson, Bedfordshire and Luton Green Infrastructure Consortium.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062318/551b8178550346a10a8b51b0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Partnership mechanism for funding allocation
Funding is collected by the council The GI Consortium advises the council on
appropriate GI projects. This advice is based the GI plans, and an
assessment of projects against agreed priorities This provides the council with a robust mechanism
that is agreed across all GI delivery partners The result is funding allocated to strategic GI
projects that are a key part in the jigsaw of the GI network
