CS GI2 - New Open Space Provision

Development that increases the demand for recreation or amenity shall provide for new green/open space and play space and contribute to the green infrastructure network. This will be achieved through:

  1. Providing appropriate new green and open spaces within all new development including private and public amenity spaces.
  2. Providing links to key green routes outside the NP area including the proposed Camden Highline project and the Gasholder Park at King’s Cross;
  3. Creating a ‘pocket park’ within the area which includes, where possible, dedicated play provision. The location of such a green space would be determined through its accessibility to residential areas and by clear, safe and attractive routes to it that exist or can be made;
  4. Greening the stretch of the Regent’s Canal tow-path within the Plan Area to connect the CSNP to the rest of the neighbourhood through smaller green interventions.

Developments which contain a residential element will be expected to provide private and communal amenity space and play space (as per LB Camden and the GLA child yield calculator recommendations.)
