This should also refer to the ecosystem approach to decision making – so that all development considers how it can enhance or impact on ecosystem services with the local authority area. • In addition, the parks division of LAs should facilitate the re-wilding and the expansion of urban meadows in accordance with the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan. Local authorities should promote the use of designated open space in housing developments and any vacant/underused public land, for communal gardening, hedge and tree planting, wilding and/or growing of vegetables.
