Developments to date have not demonstrated inclusion of green infrastructure, biodiversity net gain, adaption to climate change or inclusion to existing residents. Boundaries with other counties and districts are often the last remaining green infrastructure services, refuges for biodiversity and recreation. Birmingham & Back Country residents already have reduced access to open spaces, or robust nature conservation, and travel to important neighboring nature conservation sites. increasing populations without out increasing green infrastructure, country parks and access to open spaces will only drive biodiversity in a downwards direction. Grey and green infrastructure have to be integrally delivered, not retrospectively.
