Consultation on Sites to be included in the audit and on the Methodology

27 July – 24 August 2011

Bassetlaw District Council is reviewing its open space study, which forms part of the evidence base for the District’s Local Development Framework (LDF).

This review will update the audit of parks, play areas, allotments, amenity spaces, natural green spaces and church yards and cemeteries across the District, assessing them in terms of their quantity, quality and accessibility. This update will be used to inform decisions about the protection of open spaces in the emerging Site Allocations document.

A four-week consultation period on the sites to be assessed, and on the proposed methodology for assessing them, will run from 27 July to 24 August 2011. After this time, the audit will begin and a draft study will be produced for comment later in the year.

The sites to be assessed can be viewed on a spreadsheet. Alternatively, you may wish to see a list of sites by settlement, in which case please click on the name of the relevant settlement below.

If you have any views on either the methodology or the sites, or if you wish to propose additional sites for the assessment, please email your comments to future.plans@bassetlaw.gov.uk or write to Planning Policy, Queen’s Buildings, Potter Street, Worksop, Notts, S80 2AH.
