The Prospectus and Draft Vision and Work Plan (2010-2015) are in the process of consultation.
The CSGN is included in the final version of NPF2 as one of only 14 National Developments, considered by Ministers to be essential elements of the strategy for Scotland’s long term development. The action programme published alongside NPF2 sets out some initial proposals on what outcomes a CSGN might help deliver across central Scotland, who needs to be involved in delivery, and what the priority actions might comprise.
Background work has been underway, led by an Interim Steering Group, to develop proposals for the CSGN which will deliver this step change in environmental quality and add value to existing greenspace/green network initiatives in central Scotland. Three reports on various aspects of the CSGN have been prepared for the Interim Steering Group, with funding from SNH and FCS, and are available on request. They include:
- CSGN – Defining the Concept (July 2008) (Acrobat Reader 8 or greater required)
- CSGN – Examining Structures and Measures for Delivery (June 2009)
- CSGN – The Economic Contribution of Green Networks (July 2009)
