OS.02
In existing residential developments, open space which has already been provided through previous planning permissions should be retained in order to protect and ensure sufficient amenity on these sites. Where additional development is proposed which could result in the loss of on-site open space, proposals should be supported by:
- an open space assessment to demonstrate that the open space is no longer needed, and the provision of
- an equivalent or better alternative provision to be made nearby, since open space must be located close to the residential area it serves.
- Allocation of new areas of open space will be supported. Should any major site be redeveloped during the plan period a new public open space should be provided within the development.
- Proposals which improve the quality of public open space will also be supported, including the following provision of facilities in appropriate locations:
- Multi-Use Games Areas (MUGAs); b. Outdoor Gym facilities in suitable locations within designated open space;
- Sports Pitches, including artificial surfaces, in accessible locations and on suitable sites particularly to the west of the town centre.
