The Town and Country Planning Association (TCPA) and the academic community both now assert that Green Infrastructure (GI) should be recognised as 'critical' and be integrated into spatial planning systems (TCPA & WT, 2012; Roe & Mell, 2013). One of the key challenges is identifying the appropriate scale for implementation (Gilchrist et al., 2016). Individual components are implemented at a neighbourhood scale, with the value placed on these often only recognised at the very local level. This means that landscape management at the neighbourhood scale is critical to sustaining and strengthening the GI network. There is, however, no accepted mechanism for capturing the local-level knowledge of GI, which is vitally important if the value of GI to local communities are to be established.In the UK, GI is to be embedded in planning delivery in the National Planning Policy Framework and local planning policies, with the intention that the microscale can develop context-specific measures to plan sustainable and prosperous communities (DCLG, 2011). A significant knowledge gap in the literature is how small-scale GI planning can be implemented. Demonstrating the way in which existing neighbourhood plans address GI will develop techniques that can be used to support neighbourhood plan development.In the absence of detailed direction from national government, the role of planning guidance becomes particularly important. Critically, the TCPA are driving the integration of GI into UK planning structures/instruments and have identified a pressing need for GI guidance focussing on neighbourhood planning. Research Aims and ObjectivesAim: Examine how GI can be sustained and enhanced through the neighbourhood planning process to determine whether this scale can meet strategic planning aims.Research objectives:1. Establish the current positioning of GI in the neighbourhood planning process and use this to develop a conceptual framing;2. Identify expert perspectives on the opportunities and challenges to effective GI integration into neighbourhood planning;3. Develop innovative methodologies that can capture the value of GI at neighbourhood scales and communicate the benefits experienced at larger spatial scales.4. Develop guiding principles and recommendations that align with the needs of decision-makers, planning practitioners and local communities, which encourage GI to be sustained and enhanced at neighbourhood scales and that its influence is extended at larger spatial scales.Research Approach1. Desk StudyA comprehensive review of the literature to assemble existing knowledge on the integration of GI integration in neighbourhood plans. This will also help establish a database of neighbourhood plans assessing and where and how GI is used and where barriers to its use can be identified.2. Action ResearchThe student will be embedded in different neighbourhood planning projects (acting as casestudies for the thesis) at different phases of implementation and completion. The student will engage with three neighbourhood planning projects (case studies). This will include the use of focus groups, interviews, and policy/development analysis.The student will develop a policy/practice framework to aid the discussion and communication regarding the inclusion of GI in neighbourhood plans. It will also create innovative methodologies to assist neighbourhood forums to evidence the value of GI and integrate it future plans. The final phase will trial these techniques. 3. Expert InterviewsThe candidate will engage in an in-depth set of discussions with local planning officers, neighbourhood forums and professions to generate an evidence base of planning, community engagement and environmental knowledge that can be used to frame inclusion of GI in the neighbourhood planning process.4. Public interviews and surveysTo ensure that the proposed options for the inclusion of GI in neighbourhood plans are acceptable.

城镇规划协会（TCPA）和学术界现在都断言绿色基础设施（GI）应被认为是“关键”，并被融入空间规划系统中（TCPA＆WT，2012; Roe＆Mell，2013）。主要挑战之一是确定适当的实施量表（Gilchrist等，2016）。单个组件以邻里规模实现，其价值通常仅在本地层面上识别。这意味着在邻里规模的景观管理对于维持和加强GI网络至关重要。但是，没有接受胃肠道的局部知识的公认机制，如果要建立GI对当地社区的价值，这至关重要。文献中的一个重大知识差距是如何实施小规模的GI计划。在证明现有邻里计划的方式上，GI将开发可用于支持邻里计划开发的技术。在没有国家政府的详细指导下，计划指导的作用变得尤为重要。至关重要的是，TCPA正在推动GI集成到英国规划结构/工具中，并确定了针对GI指导的迫切需求。研究目的和目标aim：检查如何通过邻里规划过程来维持和增强GI，以确定该量表是否可以满足战略规划的目的。研究目标：1。确定GI在社区计划过程中的当前定位，并使用它来开发概念框架； 2。确定有关有效的GI整合到邻里规划中的机遇和挑战的专家观点； 3。开发创新的方法论，可以在邻里尺度上捕获GI的价值，并传达在较大的空间尺度下经历的好处4。制定指导原则和建议，以与决策者，计划从业人员和当地社区的需求保持一致，这些决策者和当地社区鼓励GI在邻里范围内持续和增强，并且其影响力在较大的空间量表上扩大。研究方法1。 Desk Studya对文献的综合审查，以汇总有关在邻里计划中GI整合整合的现有知识。这还将有助于建立一个邻里计划的数据库评估，在何处以及如何使用GI以及可以识别其使用障碍的位置。2。行动研究的学生将在实施和完成的不同阶段中嵌入不同的邻里计划项目（作为论文的案例）中。学生将参与三个邻里计划项目（案例研究）。这将包括使用焦点小组，访谈和政策/发展分析。学生将制定一个政策/实践框架，以帮助讨论和沟通有关将GI纳入邻里计划。它还将创建创新的方法来协助邻里论坛，以证明GI的价值并整合未来的计划。最后阶段将试用这些技术。 3.专家访谈候选人将与当地计划官员，社区论坛和专业进行深入的讨论，以产生计划基础，社区参与和环境知识的证据，这些证据可用于将GI纳入社区规划过程中。4。公众访谈和SurveySto确保可以接受将GI纳入社区计划的建议选择。
