Protection of existing open spaces is important, however the emerging policy should refer to the varying qualities of open space in applying any safeguarding approach. The policy is not consistent with paragraph 104 of the NPPF which provides situations whereby existing open space could be lost to built development. In addition, the delivery of open space within a 400m distance of development should be ‘where possible’ and ‘where it is practical’ for the development rather than a blanket approach. The policy should be amended to reflect this.
