POLICY ENV8 – OPEN SPACE, SPORTS AND RECREATION
WDH recognises the importance of developments providing or contributing towards public open space, sports and recreation facilities to support the needs of future residents. In that regard, WDH welcomes the reference within Policy ENV8 that open space requirements will be informed by “up-to-date local open space, sport and recreation standards for each local authority, in terms of quantity, quality and access.”

WDH would, however, welcome additional flexibility within the policy to allow open space provision to respond to existing provision (including oversupply and shortfall) in the immediate locality, to ensure that the quantum and type of open space provision meets the evidenced need.
