Proposals for development on these Local Green Spaces that will undermine their essential, permanent open character will be resisted unless very special circumstances can be demonstrated.
Should special circumstances be demonstrated, and a designated Local Green Space be developed, an alternative greenspace should be provided nearby.
Once designated, the policy will resist all proposals for development unless it can be clearly demonstrated that they are minor, ancillary to a public recreation use, that they will enhance the public significance of the space, or that they are essential for utilities development.
