Green Infrastructure Assets:
Particular areas of land and water, which
by virtue of use, location or intrinsic value
serve one or more functions of public
benefit. Multifunctionality is generally
desirable

Corridor Partnership enabling
development opportunities – our
businesses demand exceptional
facilities and will want to locate in an
area that demonstrates investment
and a commitment to excellence”

“The Red Rose Forest’s Green
Streets programme has
transformed neighbourhoods
through street and garden tree-
planting.
Not only has the area been
improved visually, but the activity
has brought people together in a
way that will really benefit the
community.
Although this is not the sort of
thing that NWDA are known for
funding, it hits all our targets for
cohesive communities,
transformed neighbourhoods and
new skills”

“Urban areas may experience environmental
problems within their own boundaries.
Tackling these problems not only benefits the
environment but improves the health and
wellbeing of citizens and should be seen as central
to economic viability by making towns and cities
more attractive places to live and work”

Growth of the Merseybelt as a world-class place

uplands, Manchester’s Pennine towns, Wigan & West Lancashire
1 We are ready for sustainable economic growth – defined as
“growth that can be sustained and is within environmental limits, but also
enhances environmental and social welfare and avoids greater extremes in
future economic cycles” (PPS4)
2 NWDA’s Atlantic Gateway concept makes the case for growth in
precisely these terms.
3 Let’s translate this aspiration into an agreed approach for the
environment of the Merseybelt.
4 Lets advocate the role of the Community Forest partnerships in
delivering this aspiration

Merseybelt’s Green Infrastructure – catalysing
growth, transforming land and sustaining ecosystems
A statement of ambition and intent…..
We have the green infrastructure resources to sustain growth
We have the knowledge, the partnerships and the track record to
deliver green infrastructure for multiple benefits
We have the environmental and spatial capacity for growth
We can grow in a way that enhances and transforms the environment;
and improves opportunity and health in our deprived areas
Like any other infrastructure, green infrastructure needs continual
investment
We will continue to invest in green infrastructure and people who care
for their neighbourhoods – and we continue to seek the support of our
leaders in this investment.

GI Toolbox –
Target audience and purpose
Non-specialist project developers and promoters to help make
the development or funding case for GI + project appraisers and
potential investors
Aid decision-making on investments in environmental projects as
part of wider mainstream economic development investment
Self-contained, single resource balancing best available
approaches and simplicity - set of usable, pragmatic valuation tools
– the ‘Toolbox’
Living set of Tools – can evolve over time and help point the way
to further research

GI Toolbox – How does it work?
Standard valuation techniques for assessing
the potential benefits provided by a project,
drawing on:
1. ‘Scientific values’ eg run-off coefficients
2. ‘Market values’, eg price of energy, carbon
3. ‘Benefit transfer values’ eg recreational
user values
Benefits assessed in terms of the functions
the GI may perform, support or encourage,
depending on the type of project envisaged.
Significant use of Benefits Transfer
approach – using evidence of benefits
derived from similar circumstances
“A greater use of benefits transfer is
seen to be the key to the more
practical use of environmental
values in policy making……”
[p.38, Defra 2007]

Key issues
Beneficiaries/users – baseline and demand
estimation essential (for recreation, tourism,
health, labour productivity)
Scientific research developing (eg adaptation)
but not complete
Recognise this is a new area – techniques will
develop BUT
Some areas likely to remain out of reach –
investment and quality of place

Toolbox launch and dissemination
Toolbox and Guidance Note made generally available
after testing on London, Liverpool and Tees Valley
projects.
Opportunity to mainstream with RDAs and other
public agencies.
Looking for host for Toolbox – website and continuous
development (open source)
Launch through relevant seminars, conferences etc
Timing – May 2010

Improves consideration of:
GI benefits for the funding of economic development
projects +
Wider benefits of environmental funding streams
Brings together monetised & non-monetised tools eg for
Quality of Place and Quality of Life benefits of GI
Provides delivery tools for GI in the Single Regional
Strategies currently being drafted
Links ecosystem services with those that benefit, for
funders to better consider investments
Contributes to the repositioning of GI in relation to
sustainable economic recovery

Forests Identified in Adapting the Landscape
“These areas can be enhanced to build onexisting work by the Community Forests to provide a series of products and acts as leisure and recreation destinations.”
This study seeks to build upon the many key initiatives set in place –such as the Community Forests – and set out a coherent framework.
“This would build off of existing resourcesand efforts, such as Red Rose Forest in the Greater Manchester area and Mersey Forest in the Liverpool area, which are the two largest Community Forests in England.”

Sharing Information to Develop a Comprehensive Land

• Need robust information to guide our planning and make the case for resources.
• Much information has been gathered over recent years but rarely across an area as wide as Mersey Belt
• Parallel workshop is focussing on plans and strategies - obviously these area grade into each other but will try to focus on information

Land information can be relevant at range of levels:
• Local
• District
• Cross-boundary
• Sub regional
• Mersey Belt
Need to gather at smallest scale and filter depending on the target audience

Questions to answer
• What information do we need to gather – and what have we already got?
• How consistent or complete is the information ?
• How should we gather the information and check it for compatibility?
