Bracknell Forest - LP 45: Play, Open Space and Sports Provision

Policy information sourced from the Bracknell Forest Local Plan 2024-2037 document.

LP 45: Play, Open Space and Sports Provision.

The Borough’s play, open space and sports provision will be protected and enhanced. Development must provide for any play, open space and sporting needs it creates. Development proposals should:

protect existing, enhance and/or provide new Open Space of Public Value (OSPV) and Built Sports Facilities in line with defined quantity and quality standards;
protect, enhance and provide connectivity between OSPV and Built Sports Facilities through the use of the footpath and cycleway network, the Public Rights of Way network, and long-distance recreational routes;
enable beneficial changes to the recreational function of existing OSPV and Built Sports Facilities where this is supported by evidence of local demand;
promote the dual use of facilities such as schools for community recreational purposes; and,
improve access to recreational activity in the countryside (including the Green Belt) where this does not harm its function or character.
