The following information highlights key standards and practice which will be undertaken by the District Council when managing green space: Summary of Green Space National Standards This table below summaries the proposed quantity and access standards for green space across the District. Typology Quantity Standard Access Standard Parks and Recreation Grounds 0.8 ha/1000 800 metres (15 mins straight line walk time) Outdoor Sports Space 1.0 ha/1000 480 metres (10 mins straight line walk time) Children & Young People’s Space 0.30 ha/1000 Junior Provision – 450m (just under 10 mins straight line walk time) Youth Provision – 800 m (15 mins straightline walk time) Informal Open Space 0.5 ha/1000 480 metres (10 mins straight line walk time) Natural Greenspace 1.0 ha/1000 960 metres (20 mins straight line walk time) Allotments 0.3 ha/1000 480m (10 mins straight line walk time) A comparison with existing provision establishes the following key themes: Assessing Green Space Existing green space and new green space submitted through the planning process will be assessed against a strategic criteria to determine its strategic value. The Council’s criteria for assessing green space is based on the following elements: 6 Protect and enhance existing sites Increase play areas and facilities for young people Increase and improve rural provision Usage Facilities Size Biodiversity & wildlife Develop multi-functional sites Improve access and quality of sites Increase allotment provision Utilise existing natural green space Linkages to strategic green infrastructure / wedges or corridors Other considerations (historical and cultural) This strategic value will be used to determine our approach to adoption, ownership and management to help establish future priorities and create a positive change in service delivery. Adoption, Ownership and Management Following the above assessment, the process below will be followed to determine who will take ownership of the site: Stage 1 – Blaby District Council to adopt (if no, progress to stage 2) Stage 2 – Parish / Town Council to adopt (if no, progress to stage 3) Stage 3 – Management Company to adopt (minimum standards to be applied) Page 206
Disposal or Leasing of Sites The Council will use the following criteria when considering any sites for disposal and in relation to any requests made to BDC by Parish / Town Councils or Community Organisations wishing to take ownership of a BDC site: Is there suffi cient quantity in the locality? Is there suffi cient access to other similar opportunities? Is there suffi cient quality in the locality? What is the current and future value of the land? Will the green space be improved or alternative/additional facilities provided? The District Council will endeavour to re-invest into green space sites with receipts and maintenance resources released from any such arrangements. Developer Contributions Contributions are typically secured against residential development but can also be required for non residential development if it would have an impact on the area. The provision of infrastructure, facilities and services which are required by a planning obligation should, where possible, be provided on site. However, there will be circumstances where this may not be practical or appropriate. In these circumstances, the Council will seek fi nancial contributions towards the provision and / or maintenance of infrastructure, facilities and services at an alternative off-site location. In relation to off-site contributions, due to the variation between sites and locations of new residential housing developments, it is considered to be impractical (given the time scale allowed to determine planning applications) to individually cost up each application where an off-site contribution is required. Therefore the Council has developed a standard formula for calculating the cost of providing the required facilities offsite. This model considers the diverse range of recreational, play and sporting needs of the community along with providing areas natural green space that will benefi t wildlife and ecology. Planning legislation requires for these off-site contributions to be invested in local infrastructure that will benefi t the residents of the new development. The Council has established a Working Group to make recommendations on how these contributions are used in consultation with local Parish / Town Councils. Safeguarding Green Space The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) provides against building on green spaces and the sites of sports and recreational buildings for non-recreational uses. The NPPF indicates that local communities can identify for special protection green areas of particular importance by designating land as Local Green Space. Green Wedges and Areas of Separation along with their detailed boundaries will be reviewed through the District Council’s Allocations, Designations and Development Management Plan Document. Partnership Working We will work in partnership with the County Council, Parish / Town Councils and Community Groups to manage and enhance our green spaces. The Council needs to develop strong relationships with external organisations and its residents to provide, develop and enhance services. It will continue to work with its partners to improve the District’s green spaces, from listening to what local users want to adopting new ideas on their use, layout and management. 7 Page 207
