DMD 72 Open Space Provision

All new major residential development must be accompanied by proposals to improve open space provision. The nature of such improvements should reflect the additional open space needs generated as a result of the proposed development.

If the proposed development is located within an identified area of deficiency for public park provision it will be necessary for additional land to be brought into public park use. Provision should be provided on-site where possible. In exceptional circumstances, a contribution towards off-site provision or improvement to access to open space may be acceptable. New developments will be expected to incorporate open space that is capable of reaching at least ‘Good to Very Good’ quality in line with the Green Flag Award standards.

If the proposed development is not located within an area which is deficient in either quantity or access to public park provision then consideration will be given to deficiency in any other type of open space provision. The applicant will be required to make a contribution towards the enhancement of open space or associated facilities.

This policy should be read in conjunction with Core Strategy Policy 34.
