Dover District Green Infrastructure Strategy
The Dover District Green Infrastructure Strategy was Adopted by the Cabinet on the 3rd June 2024.
Green infrastructure (GI) is the term used to describe the natural environmental features of an area and the natural connections (or network) between these features. Green infrastructure also includes ‘blue infrastructure’, which are areas of wetland, water bodies and water courses.
The Green Infrastructure Strategy aims to deliver a high-quality multifunctional network of green and blue spaces that benefit people and nature through the protection of existing assets and identification of opportunities to connect and enhance the green infrastructure network.
