LP50 Play Space

The Council will protect existing play and recreation facilities and support the development of new formal and informal play facilities. New major residential developments and mixed-use schemes that are likely to generate a child yield of 10 or more are required to provide 10sqm of dedicated play space per child on-site.

New play spaces should:

  1. Be well located and easily accessible by pedestrian, cycling or bus routes, and
  2. Be inclusive to all, and
  3. Provide a range of different types of play facilities and experiences for children of different abilities, and
  4. Be sustainable and easy to maintain.
