The Government is committed to protecting our environment. As set out on the 25 Year Environment Plan<\/a>, we are drawing up a national framework of green infrastructure standards, ensuring that new developments include accessible green spaces and that any area with little or no green space can be improved for the benefit of the community. We intend to publish the standards in 2019 and incorporate them into planning guidance so that councils can use them when making planning decisions across the country - including in the south east.<\/p> Our revised planning rule book<\/a> sets out how new development should happen in right places across the country including in the south east, through:<\/p> In September 2017, the Government created the \u2018Parks Action Group\u2019 comprising of experts from across the parks, heritage and the leisure sector and invested £500,000 to support the development of initiatives to identify solutions for safeguarding our parks and green spaces, to ensure they have long and sustainable futures.<\/p> The group has been working collaboratively across key priorities \u2013 including assessing quality standards and sharing good practice. We are currently developing a programme of work aimed at transforming the way in which green spaces are developed, managed and sustained. <\/p>"}
