Local Natural Capital In Investment in in Cambridgeshire & Peterborough

“In order to think rigorously about the relationship between development and the natural environment, we need to be clear about the value the nature brings. This can be done using the idea of natural capital .. .It should be a central part of evaluating all decisions which will impact the landscape, none more so than housing” (CPIER, Final Report) “A Cambridgeshire-wide Local Nature Capital Investment Plan (LNCIP) is prepared to inform strategic and economic decision making, in order to maximise opportunities for enhancing the area’s natural environment.” (Doubling Nature – A Natural Vision”, Natural Cambridgeshire LNP & Draft NSSF Phase 2)
