4.2 KEY STRUCTURING ELEMENTS (FIXES)
Public spaces
Another potential benefit which could be referred to here is the opportunity to provide attractive high quality greenspaces within the development which could help to reduce the scale of potential recreational impacts on Wicken Fen.
Greenways and corridors
The Wildlife Trust is satisfied with the overall approach to the design of the green infrastructure network and the locations of the major greenways. We would like to highlight the importance of the east-west corridors as connections between the other areas of green infrastructure, as noted in point 6. We are also pleased to see consideration has been given to provision of circular and well-connected leisure routes within the development.
Summary at table 8 should include reference to the proposed Landscape and Ecological Management Plan (LEMP) as a document/plan
