• S1: Green Infrastructure Strategy Standard
• S2: Accessible Greenspace Standard
• S3: Urban Nature Recovery Standard
• S4: Urban Greening Factor Standard
• S5: Urban Tree Canopy Cover Standard
And illustrate how they support stakeholders in designing and delivering good green infrastructure provision. To find out more visit: GI Standards (designatedsites.naturalengland.org.uk/GreenInfrastructure/GIStandards.aspx)
