Ymatebydd: Shipston Town Council

The provision of open space is very important to many settlements where there is historically a shortfall in what should be provided.
The words of Draft Policy Direction 43c are commendable but ignore the fact that in Shipston on Stour, land for potential Open Spaces is all in private ownership. Landowners and their agents seek the best return on their assets, which means maximizing house building. The result is a town, of 6000+ having no public park. Plenty about protecting Open Spaces but nothing to suggest how they might be established.
