Development of a benchmark for green infrastructure (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Jerome, G., Sinnett, D., Mortlock, R., Calvert, T., Burgess, S., & Smith, N. (2016, September). Development of a benchmark for green infrastructure. Paper presented at UK-Ireland Planning Research Conference, University of Cardiff, Wales, UK

This paper presents the development of a benchmark for green infrastructure (GI). Green infrastructure brings together many land uses (e.g. parks, gardens, cemeteries, allotments, nature reserves, surface water), urban design (e.g. street trees, land...

Going to waste? The ecological and cultural value of mine wastes (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Sinnett, D. (2016, September). Going to waste? The ecological and cultural value of mine wastes. Paper presented at UK-Ireland Planning Research Conference, University of Cardiff, Wales, UK

This paper presents an examination of the ‘environmental services’ provided by mine wastes in England and Wales. Often perceived as derelict or degraded sites of very little value to society these sites may be protected for their cultural heritage an... Read More about Going to waste? The ecological and cultural value of mine wastes.

Development of a benchmark for green infrastructure (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Jerome, G., Sinnett, D., Mortlock, R., Calvert, T., Burgess, S., & Smith, N. (2016, August). Development of a benchmark for green infrastructure. Paper presented at 5th International EcoSummit: Engineering Sustainability Engineering Change, Montpelier, France

This paper presents the development of a benchmark for green infrastructure (GI). Green infrastructure is recognised globally as an essential component of liveable and sustainable places. It is valued for its multi-functionality and the connectedness... Read More about Development of a benchmark for green infrastructure.

Typology for restored waste repositories in the UK (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Sinnett, D. (2016, August). Typology for restored waste repositories in the UK. Poster presented at 5th International EcoSummit: Ecological Sustainability Engineering Change, Montpelier, France

This paper presents a new typology of waste repositories as a means of assessing the environmental services of such sites in the United Kingdom. The potential benefits provided by waste repositories are dependent on many factors including the type of... Read More about Typology for restored waste repositories in the UK.

National benchmark for green infrastructure: A feasibility study (2016)
Report
Smith, N., Calvert, T., Sinnett, D., Burgess, S., & King, L. (2016). National benchmark for green infrastructure: A feasibility study

This research examines whether a market exists for a national benchmark for green infrastructure (GI) in England. It is funded through a Natural Environment Research Council Innovation Fund (Grant Reference: NE/N016971/1). This builds on a Knowledge...
