OS2: Local Green Spaces

Local Green Spaces are particularly special to Hook Heath. They will be protected from development. No development will take place unless very special circumstances, that clearly outweigh any harm arising, can be demonstrated.

All the Local Green Spaces in the Neighbourhood Plan have emerged through discussion. They are all within the community they serve and are widely recognised for their particular and demonstrably special importance, within an area renowned for its attractive character and appearance. All four Local Green Spaces are local in character and none comprises an extensive tract of land. The areas listed below, and shown on Map J, are designated as Local Green Spaces.

  1. The triangle on Wych Hill
  2. The three triangular pieces of land at the junction of Hook Heath Road, Pond Road and Holly Bank Road
  3. The triangle at the junction of Green Lane with Hook Hill Lane
  4. The verges on the South Side of Hook Heath Avenue

The use of Local Green Spaces for ‘street furniture’ should be minimised.
