Project Groundwater - Placemaking : Planning

The aims of the Placemaking workstream as set out by Project Groundwater are:

• Strengthen understanding of how nature-based solutions (NBS) can remain operational during periods of high groundwater, and promote aquifer recharge / water quality benefits

• Develop ideas from pilot communities for nature-based solutions

• Create places which are more resilient to flooding using nature-based solutions which remain operational during periods of high groundwater

• Strengthen consideration of groundwater in the planning system

• Innovation in nature-based solutions

As can be seen from above there are two areas in which the placemaking workstream will be working, nature-based solutions and planning. As a result, there will be 2 separate sub- workstreams, this specification is for the planning workstream, the NBS workstream will be available in a separate tender.
