| 摘要： | 'It's a lot of land, and it's really important that we manage it appropriately so we minimise impacts and maximise opportunities to enhance nature and biodiversity.' Tom Clancy, National Highways' group leader of environmental delivery support, describes the company's soft or 'green' estate as 'essentially all of our operational soft, green land, from the edge of the carriageway up to the boundary fence, but also we have non-operational land - which isn't directly adjoining the operational highway - that might be pockets of land we obtained for whatever reason historically, that we still own'. He adds: 'Habitat plots within our soft estate can fulfil a number of different functions. When they are designed on a scheme, they might be given a primary function and a secondary function. So, for example, in a built-up area, the soft verge in that location might be planted with screening and therefore its main function is landscape integration, to protect the community that sits behind it. In other areas, it might be to deliver biodiversity mitigation, to offset the impact of the scheme when it was constructed.' |
