DM6 Open Space Provision

Development proposals should not result in the whole or partial loss of open space, outdoor recreation facilities or allotments unless:

  • Accompanied by assessment that clearly demonstrates that the provision is surplus; or
  • The proposal delivers replacement provision of equal or better quality within the locality; or
  • The proposal is for new sports and or recreation provision, the needs for which clearly outweigh the loss.

We will ensure all new provision for sports and play meets qualitative standards and optimises accessibility to all users.
