Develop National GIS Maps and Analyses of Accessible Natural Greenspace

Tender description

This contract aims to develop draft national open data maps and analyses of green infrastructure (GI) and other social and economic data to enable stakeholders to assess their GI using the emerging National Framework of Green Infrastructure Standards, and identify how it could better deliver the aims in the Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan to connect people with the environment to improve health and wellbeing and to green our towns and cities. These maps are part of a support package being developed by Natural England and Defra for local authorities and other stakeholders to assess green infrastructure provision the emerging draft National Framework of GI standards, and are intended to help stakeholders to focus on areas where there is not enough green infrastructure (GI), particularly in the most deprived areas of England, and ensuring that new developments include accessible green spaces.
