1. Residential development should provide Open Space of Public Value (OSPV) at a standard of 4.3 hectares (ha) per 1000 persons, comprising 2 ha of Active OSPV and 2.3 ha of Passive OSPV. This can be through new provision and/or financial contributions, by agreement with the Council depending on site circumstances.

2. Development will be approved which provides and maintains OSPV in accordance with the quantity standards listed in Table A, that is reasonably accessible from the development (Table C) and is of high quality design.

3. Financial contributions made in lieu of on-site provision will fund enhancement of the capacity, quality and accessibility of existing OSPV in accordance with the Plus One Principle and the standards in Tables B and C.

4. Wherever possible, relevant development should improve the connectivity of OSPV which may include creating new routes or the enhancement of existing routes.
