DM15 Protection of Green Spaces and Recreational Facilities

Green spaces in settlement areas as identified on the Proposals Map will be protected by restricting development to appropriate informal recreation uses or recreation facilities that are of a scale commensurate with the size of the space.

The Borough Council will resist the loss or fragmentation of small open amenity areas not identified on the proposals map where this would result in adverse impacts on the attractiveness and quality of the built environment.

Existing formal recreation facilities will be protected unless it can be demonstrated that such facilities are to be co-located in dual use facilities, are to be provided within appropriate replacement facilities or are surplus to requirements and there is no demand for any other recreational purpose.

The green spaces as identified on the proposals map will be subject to review with any deletions, amendments or additions set through a Site Allocations DPD.
