South Staffordshire
Council has recently undertaken an audit of open spaces and playing
pitches within the district.
This work has been
carried out in order to satisfy the requirements of national
planning policy set out in Planning Policy Guidance Note 17 (PPG17)
and its companion guide 'Assessing needs and
Opportunities'. This guidance aims to ensure effective
planning for open space, sport and recreation through encouraging
local authorities to carry out comprehensive assessments of
existing local provision and future needs and to establish local
standards for quantity, quality and accessibility of open space,
sports and recreational facilities.
The audit work meets the
requirements of PPG17 and provides the basis on which to develop a
series of broad strategic options. These options will be
based on the key findings of the audit and will suggest
opportunities for new or relocated provision and criteria for
protecting and/or enhancing existing provision.
The findings of the Open
Space Audit and accompanying Playing Pitch Strategy (Appendix 10)
will be used to inform a number of other important strategy
documents, details of which can be found in Section 1 of the main
audit document.
All the Open Space Audit
documents and the Playing Pitch Strategy can be downloaded in PDF
