Local Agenda 21: Blueprint for a Better Bromley

10.1

In this document, Bromley sets out its local action plan for sustainable development as part of its Local Agenda 21 initiative.

10.2

The document includes the following statements:

  • That derelict urban land will be brought back into beneficial use, and open space will be protected from development.
  • That local biodiversity will be enhanced by (among other things) creating new wildlife habitats through land management.
  • That opportunities for everyone to enjoy Bromley's green environment will be enhanced by (among other things) promoting green gardening and advocating the sympathetic management of accessible natural and semi-natural areas, including urban parks.

10.3

None of the above statements seem compatible with a commercial leisure designation of the green ridge at the head of the Park.
