Provision and Improvement of Playing Space for New Housing Development

As part of the production of the Havant Borough District-Wide Local Plan (HBDWLP), the council produced a SPG on the Provision and Improvement of Playing Space for New Housing Development. 

 

The SPG refers to the following Local Plan policies:

• R22 Open space related to new housing development (replaced by Policy R17, Playing Space Related to New Housing Development, in the adopted HBDWLP Plan)

• R20 New open space (replaced by Policy R16, New Open Space, in the adopted HBDWLP Plan)

• R21 Upgrading of existing open space (not included in the adopted Plan)

Policies R16 and R17 have been saved and taken forward under the LDF . R17 working in tandem with Core Strategy Policies CS1.3 & CS21.

 

The SPG sets out a method which can be applied easily when processing planning applications, for the provision, improvement and maintenance of playing space to meet the needs of residents of new housing developments.
