Green Chains are defined as a series of elongated Metropolitan Open Land surrounding the Borough's major watercourses linking the Green Belt and broader areas of open land within the urban area. Green Chains allow animals and plants to be found further into the built up area than would otherwise be the case and provide an extension to the habitats of the sites they join. This data shows the location of Green Chains within The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. These are identified as part of open space infrastructure.
