GSR2: Sports facilities and Open space provision as part of new development
Formal sports facilities and open space should normally be provided within new development to accord with the standards set by Central Bedfordshire Council in the Local Plan and Houghton Regis North 1 & 2 Masterplans. In addition, for new open spaces, the following criteria should be met:
- Efforts should be made to develop green corridors between the built up areas, new open spaces and the countryside;
- Developments should incorporate tree and shrub planting.
Suitable arrangements must be incorporated for the costs of future maintenance of these spaces.
