Development plan policies should take into account the need to improve the built and natural environment in and around urban areas and rural settlements, including the provision of good quality open space (PPS1, para 20) Local authorities should undertake audits of existing open space, sports and recreational facilities, and identify possible opportunities for new open space and facilities. This should provide baseline evidence for an open space, sport and recreation strategy at the local level (PPG17: Planning for open space, sport and recreation, para. 3 and 4). Local authorities should promote physical exercise through opportunities for sport and recreation (RSS Policy DP2) Local authorities should identify the urban areas in need of more greenspace and recreation areas (Assessing needs and opportunities: PPG17 companion guide, para 8.16). Ensure that all households are within an appropriate distance of a full range of greenspaces (Greenspace Strategy SPD, para 1.17). A full range of adult and youth facilities should be available within each Community Committee Area (UDP, Policy R2)(Greenspace Strategy, Policy GS9). When planning new open space, local authorities should consider the recreational needs of visitors and tourists (PPG17, para 24[xi]). Any new open space should enhance the range and quality of existing areas (PPG17, para 20[vi]) (UDP, Policy R2[vi]) Implement a plan to refurbish parks and reclaim green spaces for community use (Regenerating a great city: Salford’s Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy, para 6.20.22). Increase the range of opportunities for play and recreation (Salford’s Children and Young Peoples Plan, pg 52). When considering planning applications relating to all types of outdoor space, including open space and playing fields, support the vision of a more physically active society (Healthy Weight, Healthy Lives p22) Download 1.19 Mb.
