Q13. The decision-making criteria is generally welcome. It is important that indicators relate to the effects of the plan. Bespoke indicators should relate to outcomes of development management decisions. The following indicators may be appropriate:
Biodiversity:
* Number of planning approvals that generated any adverse impacts on sites of acknowledged biodiversity importance.
* Percentage of major developments generating overall biodiversity enhancement.
* Hectares of biodiversity habitat delivered through minerals site allocations.
Green infrastructure:
* Percentage of population having access to natural greenspace within 400 metres of homes.
* Length of greenways constructed.
* Accessible open space (Ha) per 1000 population
