ENP-ENV1: Local Green Spaces

Each of the following green areas is designated as a Local Green Space which is of particular importance to the local community. Development affecting the openness of a Local Green Space will not be permitted unless the developer demonstrates that there are very special circumstances. Proposals that protect, enhance and sustain a Local Green Space in a way which is consistent with its significance to the local community will be supported. The designated areas are shown in the maps in Figures 6 and 6a and in Appendix 4.
