DM15: Green Belt and Open Spaces - Open Spaces

Open Spaces

  1. Open space will be protected from development. In exceptional circumstances loss of open space will be permitted where the following can be satisfied:
    • The development proposal is a small scale ancillary use which supports the use of the open space or
    • Equivalent or better quality open space provision can be made.
    Any exception will need to ensure that it does not create further public open space deficiency and has no significant impact on biodiversity.
  2. In areas which are identified as deficient in public open space, where the development site is appropriate or the opportunity arises the council will expect on site provision in line with the standards set out in the supporting text (para 16.3.6).
