DMCI 4: Open Spaces in New Development

Proposals for major new residential development will be supported where they make provision for new open space, or enhancements to existing open space, which meets the needs of the occupiers of the development and contributes to the mitigation of identified deficiencies in the quantity, quality and accessibility of open space. Regard will be had to Hillingdon’s local recommended standards of provision for all relevant typologies of open space.

The provision of major new pieces of open space should contribute positively to Hillingdon’s existing networks of green spaces. In major town centre developments, new civic space may be required as an alternative to green open space.

Proposals for major new residential development that fail to make provision for new or enhanced open space, or which would result in open space that is inappropriate in type, quality or location, will be resisted.
