B-EN 2: Public Open Space
The following areas will be protected as Public Open Spaces. They are also designated as Local Green Spaces (see Policy B-EN 4):
- Sutherland Memorial Park – permission will be granted for a covered recreational facility that complements the existing character and use of the park within the footprint of existing buildings

In these areas development will only be permitted where it complements their existing role and character as public open spaces.
