Draft New Housing and the Provision of Recreation Facilities Supplementary Planning Document (SPD)

Overview

The proposed Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) will be a revision of the existing Provision of Recreational Open Space in New Housing SPD, and will provide guidance on the provision of open space in new housing developments, and also on financial contributions expected from housing developers for off-site open space and sports facilities to meet the demand generated by the development. The document needs updating for a number of reasons, particularly to take into account changes in recreational habits, such as the increased use of built sports facilities.
