7.1 The Site Allocations LDD (adopted 2014) sets out the existing public open spaces allocated for this use in the District. These existing open space allocations are shown in Appendix 4 and Appendix 5 and it is intended that these areas will continue to be protected by retaining their allocation as public open space.
7.2 Preferred Option 22 in Part 1 of this consultation document seeks to safeguard open spaces for this use and sets out that future development proposals will be required to contribute to new provision of open space and children’s play space where justified by the scale of development. Site-specific comments on the potential housing sites in Section 2 identifies where a potential housing site would be required to contribute to open space and play space provision.
7.3 The location of new future provision of open space and play space depends on a District Council decision on housing site allocations and on planning permissions that may be granted both for windfall sites and future allocation sites (where such provision is required). As the designation of any new open and play spaces through future development proposals is uncertain, it is intended for any new open spaces and play spaces to be allocated as public open space and be included in the Policies Map at the nearest appropriate and possible time.
7.4 However, two new public open spaces are proposed on the preferred allocations for Warner Bros. (Sites CFS28 and OSPF6), as set out at paragraph 5.4-5.5. The proposed public open spaces on these sites are shown in Appendix 5 (Map of Proposed & Retained Public Open Space Allocations).
7.5 National and local planning policy will guide planning decisions on sites which are not specifically allocated as open spaces.
7.6 A list and map of the proposed open space allocations to be retained is shown in Appendix 4 and Appendix 5 respectively.
Question 74 Do you think that retaining all of the existing open space allocations is the right approach? If not please identify how the proposed approach could be changed. |
