OS1 Urban Open Land
The areas of land listed in Appendix 6 and defined on the Proposals Map are considered vital to the form, character and quality of the builtup areas of the district in terms of the urban open land criteria and are therefore defined as Urban Open Land. Planning permission for development within these areas will not be granted unless it would:
- Assist in the maintenance or reinforcement of their function as essential open areas;
- Be of a scale which did not compromise the value of the Urban Open Land or use of the open space as defined in terms of its criteria; and
- Not result in the loss or reduction in size of any playing pitches, if the open land is used for formal recreation purposes, subject to the consideration set out in Policy OS2.
