Duty to co-operate? Not specified
Policy P20 would benefit from the inclusion of guidance on the indicative breakdown of the 3.57 hectares of Public Open Space (POS) that are required per 1,000 population. This would assist developers with viability considerations. This should be substantiated on up-to-date and relevant evidence.
The Policy is written somewhat ambiguously, and could be mistakenly interpreted that the POS requirements of new developments should compensate for any prior under-provision.
Guidance is required on the indicative breakdown of the 3.57ha of POS that are required per 1,000 population, and include a caveat that final POS provision should respond to localised assessments of demand.
It should be made clear that the POS requirements of new developments are not expected to compensate for any prior under-provision from other developments.
