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
  • Riverside Nature Reserve
  • Merrow Common

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