Received a report introducing the Green Roofs Advice Note, which will serve to outline best practice guidance on the incorporation of green roofs in new development schemes. The Advice Note will also inform the review of local statutory planning policy.
Agreed, in order to support the Community Priority of 'Making Barking and Dagenham Cleaner, Greener and Safer', as well as supporting biodiversity, providing habitat links and open space, assisting to reduce surface water run off whilst positively contributing to the character and appearance of the Borough, to:
1. Adopt the Green Roofs Advice Note, attached to the report as Appendix 1; and
2. Install Green Roofs as part of new development schemes, wherever possible, as part of the regeneration agenda of the Borough.
