We recognise that these five priorities identified for a Liverpool City Region Green InfrastructureFramework cut across a wide range of policies and strategies and are themselves interlinked. Thepurpose of green infrastructure planning will be to assess how multiple benefits can be securedand also how we can safeguard and enhance the functionality of the green infrastructure.For instance, areas of high quality recreation in rural areas will provide opportunities to connecthabitats, reduce travel (low carbon) to recreation areas further afield, helping to provideadaptation benefits and help create a city region that is an attractive place in which to live andwork.4. TEST OF APPROPRIATE SCALE1In order to help to confirm that these five priorities are appropriately planned for in greeninfrastructure terms at the sub regional scale we have asked the following questions about eachone:Could green infrastructure planning at this level support planning at a lower level?Could this green infrastructure planning be done at a higher level?
Is there policy/strategy support for sub regional working on this issue?Does the issue cross administrative boundaries?Will it provide information that would not otherwise be available at the levels above andbelow?Table 1 overleaf provides a summary of the information that we have gathered.
