Full Document
Landsmith Associates was approached by Totnes Town Council to produce, in collaboration with Burton Reid Associates and Street Reimagined, a Green Infrastructure Strategy (GIS) for the town council ward area. This strategy was developed with the Town Council, South Hams Devon District Council and Devon County Council as a supporting technical guide to accompany the Neighbourhood Plan.
Totnes is a thriving market town in south Devon. It borders South Hams AONB and is the gateway to the River Dart estuary and beyond. The town is growing, and the future of the area must focus on low-carbon, sustainable growth to serve existing and future residents, attract investment, enhance biodiversity, decrease social isolation, and improve health and well-being.
GISs provide a cohesive proposal backed by evidence collated nationally, regionally, and locally, as well as desktop and site appraisals. In July 2020, Totnes Town Council will put their Neighbourhood Development Plan to vote on proposals.
"A fantastic report just what we need to give us focus and a great asset for the Neighbourhood Plan. "
